OUR CLIENT SERVICES
This is our purpose. We aim to deliver exceptional results for our clients through commitment to excellence on every step of the recruitment journey. Time and again we hear that our focus on the impact of our appointments is why clients choose to work with us.
We want our clients to be better as a consequence of working with us, which regularly means support and advice beyond core Search and Selection.
Our aim is to build long term relationships, the best of which all have strong two-way communication and, where necessary, brutal honesty at their heart. As such, we do not shy away from tough conversations and we ask our clients to approach the relationship in the same spirit.
Our long-term success is built on putting the long-term interest of clients at the centre of the service we provide, coupled with bucket loads of passion and determination.
With an established network of contacts primarily in Scotland and the wider UK, we also work with many clients overseas and have experience carrying out international recruitment campaigns. We provide comprehensive market mapping with wide reach and extensive networking on a global scale.

Combining powerful search resources with an in-depth consultative approach, we work closely with our clients to understand their organisation’s competitive challenges, business objectives and culture.

Leadership Advisory
We develop long-term strategic partnerships with our clients which help build winning leadership teams and create substantial value. In addition to search, we offer strategic introductions to our wider network, leadership assessments, and team development services.
Our firm’s commitment to our clients begins with bringing creative solutions with a focus on quality to the table. We help our clients continue to innovate their leadership platforms and capitalise on emerging talent.
We create customised assessment processes tailored to the needs of your organisation. We can also offer advice on your Board composition and structure, which are both critical in maximising long term positive impact on an organisation. As we move into the post Covid world, it will be paramount that businesses have the right skills and behaviours embedded in their senior management team in order to secure future success.

Our expertise in psychometric assessment offers a powerful predictor for workplace performance and potential. This can be a hugely beneficial tool to aid organisations in making critical hiring and development decisions, particularly in an environment which provides continuous uncertainty. For more information, please contact our in-house psychometric assessor.
Effective succession planning starts well in advance of any particular succession need and is core to any robust HR strategy. We help our clients identify the future desired impact of key leadership roles and reverse engineer assessment processes that help identify future leaders and the skills and experience they need to build to be ready to step up when the time comes.

Ensuring the financial and other elements of your reward structure are competitive often requires real time market testing to make sure you remain competitive in the quest to attract and retain top talent. Our bespoke market benchmarking service ensures that you have all the right data to hand when making decisions around Executive reward.
