Executive Search
Great leadership can transform an organisation
Whether you’re looking for someone to steer the company into new markets, lead complex programmes of work or unleash the potential of your teams, our executive search specialists will help you find the exec level talent you’re looking for.
Hiring great leaders at the right time is one of the most difficult briefs in recruitment. Especially because senior hires can make or break your business. And in the current climate it’s vital to make the right hire, there’s no time or money to make a mistake.
But hiring your next leader doesn’t have to take 6 months – engage with our 6 step process and we’ll find your next senior hire within a timeframe and budget that works for you.
Why choose Talent?
Over the last 25 years, the team have built a diverse community of leaders across all sectors and have helped our clients hire all kinds of exec talent, from directors and department heads to c-suite and board members.
Bespoke professional search and attraction campaigns are at the heart of our executive search solution, with clear milestones to ensure delivery objectives are achieved in line with agreed timeframes.
A dedicated specialist leads the entire campaign which includes everything from candidate attraction strategy, through to headhunting, screening, shortlisting, interviews, offer handling, onboarding and compliance.
-
The exec search team understands the typical challenges our clients face, but every scenario is different so we start the campaign with a detailed briefing to build a picture of your unique challenges, objectives and expectations.
-
Following the briefing, we’ll develop a sourcing strategy and clear milestones which ensures you have full visibility of the campaign throughout. The strategy covers outreach plans, qualification criteria, and ideal candidate profile suggestions.
-
We start with targeted tech enabled campaigns and good old networking to engage with prospect hires. We’ll be your brand ambassador, representing your business and opportunity in a way that will be attractive to the candidates we’re talking to.
-
Once we’ve found the people we want to talk to, a detailed qualification process takes place. This will be designed in accordance with your role, requirements and any specific screening you need us to complete. The next steps depend on how you prefer to work and how involved in the process you want to be. Some clients like to see our long-list before we go into qualification stage, others like to just let us get on with it and wait for a final shortlist. Either way, we’ll present results in whatever format you like and with as much or as little commentary from our qualifications as you need.
-
We’ll work closely with you to ensure the candidate journey is managed effectively throughout, whether it be face to face or online interviews, technical assessments, presentations or panel reviews. Where required, we can participate in panel interviews and review processes.
-
You’ve found ‘the one’ and it’s time to offer! We’ll guide you in creating an offer that's engaging, ticks all the right boxes for the candidate, and will work alongside you to deliver the offer and handle any final negotiations. Our commitment to you does not end there - we'll manage the candidate through their notice period and successfully through their probation period.
