To help clients address recruitment and succession issues more effectively, we've developed several related capabilities...
Building and maintaining entire boards
Recruiting the right people requires an increasingly strategic approach. Today, finding (and landing) both executives and non-executives requires the same preparation, commitment and enthusiasm. And the best candidates want assurance that the board they are joining is well run, peopled by capable individuals and offers real opportunity to make a difference.
Shrinking the risk
Unusually among UK search consultants, we have our own team of specialist psychologists who help us to develop competency profiles for jobs. As well as helping us build boards more strategically, this is particularly valuable in reorganisations and filling new jobs that have no precedents. Our psychologists also help us assess candidates in terms of intellectual horsepower and suppleness, leadership skills, emotional characteristics and innovation.
Board review
Drawing on years of experience in assessing senior executives and organisations, we've developed a review process that helps Chairs to assess board effectiveness without adding unnecessarily to the already heavy burden on board members.
Diversity
As companies demand more time from both executives and non-executives, the supply of suitably qualified people is tightening. We've earned a reputation for 'diversity search' and our unique approach ensures that companies don't overlook major pools of talent by focusing overmuch on WASP males.
