A proven executive search
and assessment process
Access
Your executive team is likely to be the biggest and most important investment that contributes to the success of your business. We understand that finding the very best talent for that team is not easy. Through a proven identification and enticement process, we are able to give you access to the best possible talent. By truly headhunting passive talent, you will have less competition, greater engagement and the pick of the best expertise in your sector.
Assess
Historically companies hire on skills and experience but fire on behaviours. To break this cycle, recruitment needs to provide insight beyond a standard interview process. This is where our utilisation of extensive behavioural profiling helps you make decisions based on facts. In creating an agreed blueprint of what is required, you get engagement from your hiring stakeholders and better performance from your new hires.
Retain
Understand how to retain the best talent. Depending on which independent study you read, an estimated 40-50% of new executive hires will fail within the first 18 months. Until now, our industry hasn't been proactive in addressing this. Our 90-Day Accelerator Programme is designed to reduce the administrative and resource burdens of onboarding and sponsoring a new executive member with the added benefit of on increasing retention and employee engagement.

Having recruited throughout my 30-year career it is difficult to think of many occasions when I have been offered a new and different approach. The 90-Day Accelerator Programme enhanced the recruitment experience by helping us to understand what needed to be delivered and achieved and effectively integrated the new leadership team.
Peter Groves, HTC Health
My experiences in utilising Executive Heads is that they are keen to adopt a win-win situation and encourage complete satisfaction for all parties concerned with a communication process that is second to none.
I would recommend them as a consultancy of choice in the recruitment field if you are looking for beyond the norms.
Keren Chapman, Vistra
In an industry that often fails to fulfil its potential, Craig and his team delivered exceptional results when we appointed our Chief Operations Officer. His approach is honest, straightforward and diligent and above all else, through his hard work and dedication, he showed that he cared. That was a much welcomed personal touch that was of great benefit to our business.
Jo Causon, CEO, Institute of Customer Services
Craig approached me after a referral from a mutual connection about my Chief Operations Officer opportunity. Unlike a number of other “Executive Search” firms Craig took the time to meet me and thoroughly assessed my suitability including behavioral profiling. He did an excellent job of briefing me about the opportunity, individuals and company.
