Frequently asked questions
What is a Career Positioning Audit? +
A recruiter-side assessment of how your experience is likely to be read by the market. It looks at the scope you have owned, the evidence behind your results, your readiness for the next level and the roles you can credibly target now. You receive a 25–30 page report, reviewed by a human analyst.
Who is the Career Positioning Audit for? +
The Career Positioning Audit is designed for Senior Managers and Directors who want an independent, recruiter-side assessment of their market positioning, professional achievements and realistic next career moves.
Is the Career Positioning Audit suitable for Senior Managers? +
Yes. The Career Positioning Audit helps Senior Managers understand how their experience and achievements are likely to be assessed by executive recruiters, whether they are ready for Director-level opportunities, and what they may need to demonstrate to make a credible next move.
Can a Career Positioning Audit help me assess readiness for a Director role? +
Yes. The Career Positioning Audit evaluates your leadership scope, commercial responsibility, achievements and evidence of impact to assess how credible your profile may be for Director-level opportunities. It helps identify where your experience supports the next step and where additional evidence or development may be needed.
How long does it take to complete the intake? +
About 25 – 30 minutes. Have your CV and 2–3 target roles ready before you start.
How is a Career Positioning Audit different from an executive CV review? +
An executive CV review focuses on how your experience is presented. A Career Positioning Audit goes deeper, assessing the evidence behind your achievements, how executive recruiters are likely to interpret your profile, your readiness for the next level and which career moves you can credibly target. It evaluates your positioning before considering how to communicate it.
How does Clifford Nash assess career positioning? +
Clifford Nash is an executive search firm. The Audit applies the same evidence-based lens used to assess senior candidates: what you owned, the scale you operated at, what changed because you were there, and whether your progression supports the next role. Each report is checked by an analyst before it reaches you.
Is this a personality test? +
No. This is not a personality test or an automated quiz. It is an evidence-based assessment of your career capital, professional achievements and readiness for the next level, reviewed by a human analyst.
How long until I get my report? +
Your completed Career Positioning Audit will be delivered within 5 business days after you submit your completed intake form.
What if I’m not sure I’m the right level for this? +
The Career Positioning Audit is designed for professionals at Senior Manager to Director level. If you’re unsure whether you’re ready for the next step, that’s exactly what the assessment helps clarify. It evaluates your leadership experience, commercial responsibility and career potential to identify which roles you can credibly target next.
