We partner with executive search firms to source the very best talent. We do not advertise but proactively engage and assess those who could be suitable for your organisation. Our experience allows us to understand the unique differences and skills required for research, delivery and fee-generating hires.
Our compensation analysis offers a research-led solution to internal and external benchmarking. We provide a highly personalised and tailored report, working directly with co-founders and CEOs on identifying compensation trends, external competition and commission schemes.
Post-pandemic, we have witnessed a sharp increase in candidates asking about overseas opportunities. We can support firms seeking to hire from the UK market or to help pipeline for the future. This network extends to candidates based in the UK who might consider returning home.
