Regional Director, North America (Programs and Partnerships)
Aga Khan Foundation Canada

If you are still interested in this opportunity after reviewing the executive brief, here are a few things we would like you to keep in mind:

Candidate due diligence

An update will be provided on your candidacy as soon as possible and we will make you aware if we will be presenting your candidacy to the Search Committee for its consideration. Should you be invited to interview with the Committee, we would ask that you begin gathering any information that might have an impact on your final decision in advance of that meeting.

If you have additional questions following our initial discussion, but your interest is tentative and you are still “exploring,” please let us know. We can help you get the additional information you need.

It is not uncommon for candidates to be pursuing multiple opportunities concurrently. In the interest of transparency, if you are a candidate for another opportunity, please let us know immediately, and keep us informed of your status. Doing so does not reflect negatively on your application; it simply ensures full disclosure from all parties involved.

Confidentiality

If this position is offered to you, we would ask you to treat the offer in confidence (with the exception of discussing it with members of your immediate family) and will not ‘shop’ or discuss the offer with your present employer.

Résumé accuracy

The Association of Executive Search Consultants estimates that approximately one in five résumés contain material information that is untrue. Examples include the listing of degrees that have not been obtained, titles and dates of employment that are incorrect, and accomplishments that are overstated. As a result, our firm has adopted the practice of verifying the claims made in the résumés of finalist candidates.

If you notice an error in your résumé after you have forwarded it to us, please contact us immediately and send us a corrected copy.
