Executive Search

Identifying and securing the best talent

High achievers are often too busy to look for new career opportunities.

Businesses safeguard their most valuable people, as they depend on them for competitor advantage.

It’s often difficult for employers to identify, attract and secure the best talent – your sector may be highly competitive or have a skills shortage.

Some appointments are so sensitive that an independent, confidential approach is the only viable option.

It’s in cases like these that Executive Search is the most appropriate route to a successful appointment.

Our Route To Success

We start by working with you to develop a comprehensive brief, then research and define the target market place.

Comprehensive Process Management

We then identify and assess the most appropriate candidates for the long-list and check this with you before approaching them confidentially.

After making further assessments and securing their interest, we conduct in-depth, competency-based interviews, select the most suitable candidates and present you with a detailed short-list and accompanying reports.

We then arrange interviews between you and the shortlisted candidates, providing valuable feedback at every stage.

Negotiating and securing the appointment

We can also help you in the negotiation of your chosen candidate’s final package.

Resignation is often a difficult stage with the risk of a counter-offer – as is garden leave – so we stay in close contact throughout these critical periods to safeguard your interests.

Long-Term Satisfaction

After the appointment we keep in regular contact, ensuring your new colleague integrates smoothly. This is crucial, because we measure our success by the contribution they make to your business in the longer term.

We view our client relationships as partnerships and therefore your long-term satisfaction with the appointment is important to us.
