Executive SearchSecuring top executive talent

for private and family business

Identifying and attracting the right people to take your business forward is never an easy task. It can be particularly difficult if your employer brand is less well-known – as is often the case with many successful private and family businesses. To ensure that you are reaching the best performing talent, a thorough executive search exercise is often necessary.

This is especially true for key board positions, but is just as true where business critical roles, further down the organisation, are proving difficult to fill.

Our Executive Search services will enable you to reach a far larger talent pool – up to five times the size of the active jobseeker pool.

Chair & non–executive director search

A growing number of entrepreneur led and family businesses recognise the need for independent, experienced individuals on their boards. Strategic input, expert industry or technical knowledge, mediation between shareholders or family members and simply a need for enhanced governance are just some of the reasons leaders make the decision to appoint non-executive directors to their boards.

Our Talent Club is a members only network of highly experienced chair and non-executive directors, all of whom have prior experience of holding such positions in entrepreneur-led, investor-backed or family businesses.

Our members are drawn from all industries and have the benefit of highly successful careers at “C” level. This means that we are able to quickly identify a selection of individuals for consideration – often without searching outside our network.

We believe that the chemistry that exists between the non-executive and the owner, leader, family or other board members, is of paramount importance. Therefore we know all our members extremely well and seek references from past positions.

Director level search

Our director level executive search service is a retained service for the appointment of executive directors or senior mangers who report directly into the board. Our work crosses all industries – our expertise lies in identifying high performing individuals that fit with the culture of your business. Our in-depth knowledge of the entrepreneurial and family business sector allows us to do this far more effectively than many of our competitors.

Typical assignments include:

» Chief Executive » Managing Director » Finance Director

Mid–level SearchMany of our clients often struggle to identify and attract specialist talent at the mid–level (£35,000 to £75,000 per annum). Often their usual recruitment methods, applied to less specialist positions, do not yield satisfactory results.

We are able to recruit at the mid–level for most functions, including:

» Finance » Operations » Sales » Marketing

Our search consultants are able to quickly identify such people who are performing well in their current role and are not actively seeking a new job but may well be interested in your opportunity, if they knew about it. Our aim is to attract the best people in the market, not just the best of who is on the market.
