Executive Search

We offer a tailored approach to hiring, taking into consideration the unique nature and circumstances of each client, and typically focusing on the following key areas:

– Client philosophy and culture;
– Key stakeholders’ concerns and priorities;
– Matching candidates to the team we are hiring for;
– Maintaining a global focus across all market segments;
– Targeting candidates from less visible teams, including boutiques and specialist houses;
– Evaluating qualitative characteristics that help determine a candidate’s ability to succeed within the respective role;
– Assessing candidate motivations and their potential longevity within roles;
– Key drivers influencing candidate decision-making when considering an offer of employment.

By combining these metrics with our market insight, we ensure firms find the best possible candidates to suit their hiring requirements.
