Five ways we help leadership decisions go right.
Executive Search
Retained search for chief executives, C-suite and the leaders one level below, built on a sharp brief and a properly mapped market.
We start by pressure-testing the role itself: what the business needs this person to change in the first two years, who they will work alongside, and what would make the appointment fail. Only then do we go to market, approaching people directly rather than waiting for applicants.
What is included
- Role scoping workshop with the hiring committee
- Full market map, including people who are not looking
- Structured, evidence-based interviews
- Written candidate reports and referencing
- Offer support and onboarding check-ins
Board Appointments
Chairs, independent directors and committee chairs, chosen for how they will change the conversation in the boardroom.
A board seat is filled for what the board lacks, not for an impressive CV. We review the current composition, tenure and committee needs with the chair, then look for directors who bring the missing judgement as well as the missing skill.
What is included
- Board composition and skills review
- Chair, NED and committee chair search
- First-time director preparation
- Independence and conflict checks
Career Advisory
Private, one-to-one guidance for senior professionals planning their next move, a step up or a change of direction.
Many of the people we place first came to us for advice. We help you work out which roles genuinely suit you, how to tell your story, and how to approach a market where most senior jobs are never advertised.
What is included
- Career direction sessions
- Executive CV and LinkedIn rewrite
- Interview and board-panel preparation
- Offer and package negotiation guidance
- Free AI CV review to get started
Leadership Advisory
Assessment, succession planning and leadership team reviews for organisations preparing for change.
When an organisation is about to grow, restructure or change chief executive, the leadership team needs an honest look. We assess individuals against the road ahead, map internal successors and show where external hiring is required.
What is included
- Leadership assessment against future strategy
- CEO and executive succession planning
- Leadership team effectiveness reviews
- Benchmarking internal candidates against the market
Interim Leadership
Experienced executives placed within weeks to steady a transition, lead a turnaround or deliver a defined programme.
Some situations will not wait for a six-month search. We keep in touch with seasoned interim leaders who can step in quickly, take ownership and hand over cleanly once a permanent appointment is made.
What is included
- Interim CEO, CFO, COO and functional heads
- Turnaround and transformation leaders
- Clear scope, milestones and exit plan
