We will support your vital recruiting efforts with years of experience and success in leadership talent.

Because we’re leadership specialists, in recruiting we focus on senior appointments, in particular for our regional clients.

Get in touch, and we will help you meet your recruiting objectives for these vital roles.

We understand what it takes to perform at senior levels

When you’re setting out to find the right person to suit your leadership and management roles, using a boutique leadership specialist is a better choice than a generalist recruiter.

Because we’re leadership specialists, we can help you define success right from the start.

Our expert candidate analysis is a vital part of the process. We provide testing that includes not only capability assessment but can also cover areas such as leadership /management style, emotional intelligence, strategic and systems thinking and cultural fit.

While we are positioned to support you by managing the entire recruiting process end to end, even if you’re using internal recruiting processes, there are steps along the way that we can help you with.

The real cost of recruiting

When recruiting into key positions, the benefits of using specialist support will help mitigate against the inevitable base costs of downtime, disruption and productivity loss during the transition.

It’s been estimated that when you factor in all the elements, the cost of a senior appointment can be up to 250% of salary.

This is way above any costs for outsourcing the recruiting support, and means you simply have to get it right, ideally first time.

These costs can include:

downtime while a role is vacant,
senior people being tied up in selection panels,
temporary disruption to information and activity flows,
initially low performance outputs during the onboarding phase,
possible impact on team culture, and so on.

With senior appointments, the positive or negative impact of the right or wrong appointment is multiplied because of the additional leverage of these roles, across the business and externally.

So it’s worth ensuring that your recruiting and selection processes result in being able to make a great appointment with people well fitted to the role and your culture.

It’s also vital that the process is efficient in terms of time and resources, and any likely lags are minimised.

Our recruitment services are purpose-designed to help you find the right people for your CEO, Exec and Management appointments.
