Executive Search Firm in London
We are a boutique Executive Search firm with 20 years’ experience of placing commercial leadership candidates in London based businesses.
Our executive search recruiters help the employers we work with to search for the best talent in the market. We do this by headhunting ‘passive’ candidates that have the right domain experience, leadership qualities and personal qualities that you require within your business.
Executive Search recruitment in London
We placed executive level positions on a retained basis, where we charge 33% of the fee at 3 different stages: on engagement, on shortlist, on placement. Doing this, allows us to dedicate the necessary time to competitor research and headhunting the best candidates.
Whilst most of the employers we work with are based in London, the rise of remote and hybrid working has opened the candidate pool for headhunting purposes to across the whole of the UK, and into Europe and North America.
