For employers
Bring us the role that has stayed open.
Senior roles are hard to fill for real reasons. The pool is small, the best people aren’t applying anywhere, and it comes down to judgement. Every search here is run by someone who knows your industry and makes that call for a living.

A senior search narrows fast. The last step is the whole job.
Plenty of people can do the job on paper. Fewer are open to a move this year. Fewer still are right for your team, your board, and the way the company actually runs.
Telling them apart takes judgement, and that only comes from working one industry long enough to know the people in it. That’s who we put on your search.

Ways to work with us.
Different problems need different arrangements. Whichever one you pick, the same team runs it, and they actually know your industry.
Lead service
Executive search
A leadership role is open, and the shortlist has to be right first time.
A dedicated team maps your market, goes after people who aren’t applying anywhere, and comes back with a short list you can act on. Retained or contingency, from middle management up to the board.
- Board and CXO
- Function heads
- Niche senior specialists
Contract and temporary staffing
The work is here now and the headcount is not permanent.
Skilled people placed for the length of the need, so a project peak or a cover gap never becomes a permanent line on the budget.
Turnkey and project recruitment
A whole team has to be in place by a date.
High-volume project hiring run as one mandate, with a single team accountable for both the numbers and the deadline.
- Outsourced recruiting
Hiring has outgrown the internal team.
Our consultants run part or all of your hiring as an extension of your team, on your process and your systems.
- SME HR services
A company needs HR judgment before it needs an HR department.
Hiring and HR support shaped around smaller companies, without a full internal function to carry.
- Greenfield and startup hiring
A new plant, a new market, or a first team with nobody in the job yet.
Building a function from zero, starting with the hires who set the standard for everyone after them.
Two ways to engage.
How you pay is a separate question from what we do. Both are open on everything above.
- Retained
- For the roles you cannot get wrong. An exclusive, committed search with a dedicated team and an agreed timeline.
- Contingency
- For roles where you’d rather pay on the placement. Same team, same consultants.
Not sure which fits the role? Ask when you get in touch and we will tell you which one we would recommend, and why.
