# Candidate Research & Long-List Build for Executive Search Firm Partners

> AI builds the long-list from Clockwork, LinkedIn, and proprietary firm databases, scores candidates against the role criteria, and produces the partner-ready presentation — long-list build time drops 70%.

- **Role:** [Executive Search Firm Partner](https://calish.com/workflows/for/executive-search-firm-partner/)
- **Category:** [Reporting & Analytics](https://calish.com/workflows/category/reporting-and-analytics/)

## The Problem

C-Suite & Board Recruiting engagements depend on a strong long-list of 50–100 candidates per role — and candidate research in Clockwork burns associate hours that could go to relationship work.

## What We Build

AI builds the long-list from Clockwork, LinkedIn, and proprietary firm databases, scores candidates against the role criteria, and produces the partner-ready presentation — long-list build time drops 70%.

## Tools & Integrations

- Clockwork
- Thrive TRM
- Invenias
- Google Drive

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current candidate research & long-list build process and identify where AI saves the most time.
2. **Build & integrate.** We build the workflow and connect it to the tools you already use — no software changes required.
3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
