Executive search, and the teams beneath

Our primary practice is C-suite and board search. Around it sit three delivery models for everything below board level. The difference between them is not the calibre of the people. It is who directs the work, and who carries the risk if it changes.

Executive search

Retained search for C-suite, board and country leadership: CEO, CIO, CTO, CFO, COO and non-executive appointments. We map the market, approach leaders who are not looking, assess against the brief rather than the CV, reference properly and manage the offer. Confidential by default, and run for corporates who cannot advertise the role.

Recent mandates closed include a confidential Group CIO, a Chief Operating Officer and a Head of HR.

How an executive search runs →

Talent augmentation

A dedicated professional embedded in your team, working under your direction. You set the priorities and run the stand-ups; we hold the employment contract, payroll, insurance and compliance. The right model when you want the continuity of a full-time team member without opening an entity or taking on the exit risk.

Fractional resource services

Senior expertise on demand, including fractional CTO. For when the problem needs twenty years of judgement rather than forty hours a week, architecture decisions, technical due diligence, building a first engineering function, or steadying one that has outgrown its structure.

Managed services

End-to-end delivery of a defined scope, run to documented SLAs. You agree the outcome and we manage the people, the sequencing and the delivery against it, web and app builds, data migration, e-commerce operations.

Not sure which? Most engagements start as one seat under augmentation, because it is the cheapest way to find out whether the working relationship holds before committing to anything larger.
