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.
