It has equaled an extensive network of impressive professionals by its very definition executive search is “a specialized recruitment service which organisations pay to seek out and recruit highly qualified candidates for senior level and executive jobs”. (Wikipedia)

We appreciate that finding and retaining talent at executive management and/or C-Suite level is both time-consuming and challenging, especially in a market that is increasingly competitive. We therefore offer a retained consultative service that allows us to partner with your business in order to gain the deepest understanding and appreciation of your needs, and then fulfil our mandate to provide you with a shortlist of possible candidates for the role(s).

We source our candidates from a variety of channels including job boards and our own website but predominantly at this level, we have seen our greatest success stories come from our own network of referrals.

Once we have sourced and presented a shortlist of suitable individuals to you, we remain actively involved in facilitating meetings and providing neutral confidential office space for these meetings if required. We would then be actively involved in the negotiation process at offer stage and would be on-hand for any onboarding administration as required.

• Honesty, integrity and highly ethical
