Executive Search

We discreetly identify, assess and secure talented senior management and board level executives across the Asia-Pacific region. The breadth of knowledge and functional expertise of our executive search team ensures a transparent, timely yet rigorous process and a successful end result.

Our executive search process has three key phases:

Only 49% of Australian companies proactively seek out candidates who are not ‘actively looking’; 12 percentage points behind the global average. This means most Australian companies are missing out on potential market-leading talent.

Combining our research expertise and our extensive network of industry contacts, we identify potential candidates and produce an initial ‘long list’. Together, we review this list and select those worthy of further consideration.
 
We approach and meet with prospective candidates, screening each person to ascertain their interest and suitability. We then provide you with a synopsis of those deemed most qualified, which outlines their experience, cultural fit and other relevant recruitment details.
We assist you in reference checking and negotiations with your chosen candidate. We help to develop an employment proposal and we offer counsel during the candidate’s transition to your organisation, assisting in their integration and retention.
