Senior Talent, Found The Right Way
For leadership, director-level and senior specialist appointments — confidential, retained search with a sector specialist who actually knows the role and the market.
Beyond Job Adverts
How Executive Search Differs
Senior hires rarely come through a job advert. The candidates you actually want are not browsing job boards — they are working, doing well, and quietly open to the right next move. Reaching them takes a different approach.
Executive search is a structured, confidential process. We work from a clear brief, map the market for the right people, approach them on your behalf, and manage the conversation through to offer. It is slower than temp recruitment and the fee structure is different, but for the right roles it is the difference between hiring someone capable and hiring someone right.
We run executive search across our core sectors — Transport & Logistics, Warehouse & Manufacturing, Hospitality & Events, Office & Finance, Sales, Retail, Aviation, and Construction — at director, head-of, and senior specialist level.
How We Work
A Considered Senior-Hire Service
Quality, not volume.
Detailed brief
We start with a structured briefing — the role, the team, the culture, the must-haves, the deal-breakers. The brief shapes every conversation that follows.
Market mapping
We map the relevant talent pool across your sector and adjacent industries — identifying candidates currently employed who fit the brief.
Confidential approach
Senior candidates need discretion. We approach individuals confidentially, ensuring neither party is exposed before there is mutual interest.
Long-list to short-list
Initial long-list of qualified candidates, then a deeper assessment and presentation of three to five shortlisted candidates with full notes.
Offer & negotiation
We manage the offer process, salary negotiation, counter-offer scenarios, and notice-period coordination through to start date.
Onboarding follow-up
A senior placement is not done at sign-on. We check in at 30, 60 and 90 days to ensure the placement is settling and resolve issues early if they appear.
