The Challenge

This succession hire came at a crucial juncture as the organisation was shaping its five-year growth strategy. Success depended on identifying an executive with rare and in-demand expertise, who could influence long-term business outcomes while also aligning with the firm’s culture and values.

Our Approach

We leveraged our executive network to source talent via referrals and recommendations. Given the passive nature of the talent pool, we adopted a highly bespoke approach, developing a detailed candidate engagement framework. Each interaction was supported by customised briefing materials that clearly articulated the long-term strategic value of the role.

The Outcome

Within six weeks, we delivered a strong shortlist, all of whom proceeded to interview. The appointed executive aligned perfectly with the client’s vision and was secured within budget and on time.​
