Candidates
For senior executives
We work with a small number of senior leaders at any one time. Conversations are confidential, unhurried and carry no obligation.
- Retained
- Committed, exclusive assignments
- Confidential
- Discretion for clients and candidates
- Director to CEO
- The level we work at
Counsel, not a CV service.
Senior moves are rarely about the vacancy in front of you. We spend time on the business, the board, the remit and the realistic package before anything is put to you, and where the right opportunity does not yet exist, we will approach organisations that fit your ambitions rather than wait for one to appear.
A representative, not a switchboard
- 01
Confidential by default
Nothing about you is disclosed to any organisation without your explicit agreement, on each occasion.
- 02
We do not simply wait for a vacancy
Where it makes sense, we will identify and approach organisations that fit your ambitions rather than waiting for the right mandate to appear.
- 03
Honest counsel
Objective views on the business, the board, the realistic package and whether the move genuinely advances your career.
- 04
A long-term relationship
Many appointments begin as a conversation held years before the right opportunity exists.
Four stages, no surprises.
You will always know where your CV is, who has seen it and what happens next.
- 01
Mandate
Time with the shareholders, board or hiring principal to agree the remit, the profile and how success will be measured.
- 02
Mapping
A structured map of the relevant market, shared with you, so the decision is made on evidence rather than availability.
- 03
Approach
Discreet, personal approaches to identified individuals, with your identity protected until it is appropriate to disclose.
- 04
Appointment
Assessment, written reporting, offer negotiation and continued contact through the individual's first year.
Your consent comes first. Your CV and your details are never sent to an organisation until you have agreed to that specific introduction. We will always tell you who we want to approach, and why.
Current vacancies
In their words
The process was handled discreetly from start to finish. We were given a proper view of the market rather than whoever happened to be available, and the appointment has worked.
I was not actively looking. The conversation was measured, confidential and genuinely useful, and it led to the right role at the right time.
Upload your CV
Send your CV and we will match you against live and upcoming roles. If the timing is not right, we will keep in touch rather than chase you.
