Quick answer
Three client types dominate. Multinationals in consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and banking hire country and functional leaders. Local family groups hire a first professional chief executive or finance director and buy on trust rather than process. And Gulf employers use Cairo firms to reach Egyptian executives for regional roles. Each buys differently, and a firm chasing all three from one inbox loses track of the slowest.
Brief agreed, market map, approaches, profiles shared, client interviews, package discussion, offer, notice served, start confirmed. Every stage needs an owner and a next action with a date. The stages after offer matter most, because a senior candidate serving notice is the one most likely to be counter-offered or to reopen a currency conversation.
Senior candidates negotiate on the whole package and often ask for a review clause given currency movement. Recording basic, allowances, bonus and any agreed review separately keeps client and candidate arguing about the same structure. Verbal agreement is where good searches quietly fail.
Does WhatsApp run on the firm number rather than a consultant handset? Can fee milestones be tracked in pounds with ageing, given how long settlement can take? Is the tool usable from a phone in Cairo traffic? Is pricing per seat with no minimum? And can you export your own database whenever you want, without asking permission?

Every team in this space loses revenue to the same recurring gaps. Here is what they cost you and how HelloGrowthCRM closes each one.
Candidate relationships sit in consultants personal phones, so a resignation empties years of market knowledge.
Calls and WhatsApp threads on the firm number attach to firm-owned records, so the next consultant inherits the full history rather than a list of names.Firm-owned history
A shortlisted candidate goes quiet and the firm only notices when the client asks for an update.
Every candidate on a mandate carries a stage, an owner and a next action with a date, so silence becomes a visible overdue task instead of an assumption.Stage ageing alerts
Offers unravel because the package discussed verbally is remembered differently by each side.
Basic, allowances, bonus and any review clause are recorded separately on the mandate, so client, candidate and consultant are working from one written structure.Package records
Fee invoices settle slowly and follow-up only happens when cash gets tight.
Milestones carry invoice status and ageing with a named owner and reminders, so collection runs continuously rather than in reaction to a shortfall.Fee ageing
