About The Programme

The Analyst Programme is a structured career launcher into Executive Search.

Analysts receive dedicated mentorship from True’s top leaders, and develop business skills in research, communication, critical thinking, project & client management, and team collaboration.

You'll join a cohort of peers training together in London, before acting as a strategic partner to senior search teams, working directly on high-profile placements for companies driving the global economy.

You will build towards a strong foundation in market mapping and intelligence, pipeline execution, and recruiting strategy with Analysts targeting 5-7 concurrent searches once they are fully embedded.

• What You’ll Do
• Weeks 1-3: Classroom Training (London)

An intensive, in-person "mini-MBA" led directly by True's top leaders — establishing business acumen, technical baseline competencies, and professional norms before you join a live search team, and building fluency in True’s approach to Search.

• In-Office Commitment: five days a week during classroom training, so you get the most face-time with your cohort and True's leaders.
• Week 4 and beyond: On-the-job

Once classroom training ends, you'll work across the Berlin team to experience the breadth of the business as you steadily ramp up in search volume.

• Research — identify potential candidate archetypes with an understanding of company and market ecosystems, and build out target company lists.
• Pipeline Development — drive candidate outreach and generate a healthy pipeline for searches.
• Candidate & Data Integrity — manage the full candidate lifecycle over time and ensure data is captured and kept accurate on our Candidate Relationship System (CRM), Thrive.
• Client Updates — attend weekly update calls with the search team and client to report on search progress.
• Shadow — work closely with the search team and shadow them on calls and meetings to learn quickly.

Who You Are

• Adaptable — you can switch from one task to another seamlessly and with the same level of energy and enthusiasm.
• Collaborative — you work well within a team and build strong internal relationships.
