How is executive search different from your other services?
Search is retained and mandate-led: we map the market exhaustively and approach passive leaders, rather than working from candidates who are already applying.

Headhunting & Executive Search
Discreet, mapped and mandate-led searches for leadership appointments.
Talk to a specialistWhat we do
When the appointment shapes the business, an advert is not enough. Our executive search practice maps the whole market, approaches leaders who are not looking, and manages the process confidentially from first conversation through to offer and onboarding.
Full market mapping
You see the whole competitive landscape, not only the candidates who happen to be active.
Handled confidentially
Searches can be run anonymously where a role is sensitive or a successor is being planned.
Assessment, not interviews alone
Structured competency interviews, referencing and market benchmarking before anyone reaches your boardroom.
