Our Services

Executive Search / Retained Search

We identify, attract, and assess senior HR executives at C-suite, VP, Director, and Board level. Our approach is rooted in proactive headhunting rather than job postings, giving you access to leaders who are not actively applying. Most searches are retained on an exclusive basis, ensuring full commitment to delivering the right fit.

Market Mapping & Talent Intelligence

We map competitors and industry talent pools to provide clarity on where HR leadership talent sits geographically and across sectors. Alongside targeted campaigns, this intelligence helps you engage the right professionals and make informed decisions on talent strategy.

Onboarding Support

A successful hire doesn’t end at offer acceptance. We help new HR executives transition smoothly into their roles, offering structured support, practical guidance, and coaching during the first 90–180 days to accelerate performance, build confidence, and drive long-term success.

Interim Executive Search

When immediate expertise is required, we can quickly access our extensive network
built over 20+ years to supply proven interim HR leaders who can step in quickly to manage transitions, lead change, or provide stability during critical periods. This ensures continuity while long-term strategies are put in place.

Confidential Searches

For highly sensitive or discreet requirements, we conduct confidential searches that protect your organisation’s reputation. By approaching talent directly and discreetly, we secure the right leaders for roles that cannot be made public.

🤝 What You Can Expect From Us

A focussed, personal, and results-driven process.

We make things as simple and efficient as possible, managing a timely, coordinated, and transparent recruitment process. You’ll get regular weekly updates, clear communication, and complete management of the interview process — from initial conversations through to offer and acceptance. We also check in after your chosen candidate starts to ensure everything is working well for both sides.
