Exec Search

Making the complex, simple!

The world of retained search and executive recruiters has often had a level of mystique around it.


We break this down with a robust and methodical approach, led by industry leading recruiters who deliver on senior appointments and business critical hires.

5 features that allows our Exec Search to stand out

1. Dedicated focus


We accept only a small number of mandates meaning you will partner with one of our Founders (Martin or Adrian).









2. Customised strategy

No search is ever the same. Approach, vetting, candidate experience, time scales, messaging and a number of other important factors are always different.  

We build a strategy and assessments which work for you and your needs (not the off the shelf retained search process found elsewhere).




3. Engagement


Accessing talent pools is no longer a challenge. It’s all about how you engage and communicate with them. Our in-house marketing team creates specific assignment content (from scratch, no templates) to drive forward engagement and your employee value proposition.  

We are expert communicators that become an extension of your brand.



4. Confidentiality & Discretion

Every search is different. Some prefer their opportunities to be visible. Others prefer the utmost safeguarding of sensitive material and business strategy.  

Our approach works on a need to know basis. This can be different on every search or even person to person within a search. We utilise our decades of experience to reveal information at exactly the right time.


5. True Consultant


We become an extension of you offering not just a world class recruitment service but also expert advice, industry insights and a confidential sounding board to solve corporate talent challenges throughout the assignment.
