How we run a search.

A structured executive search process, led by a partner from first brief to accepted offer. You know what we are doing, and why, at every stage.

  1. Understanding your organisation

    We start with the business, not the job description: your strategy, project phase, structure, culture and the reason this role matters now.

  2. Role assessment

    We define what the hire must deliver in their first year and the technical and leadership competencies the role needs.

  3. Market mapping

    We identify target companies and comparable projects across seven continents, then map the people in them by name. We do not rely on adverts.

    We present a shortlist with a full assessment of each candidate against the scorecard, including cultural fit, readiness for the location, motivation and references.

Every search is confidential. We never present a candidate without their consent, and never approach a client's own staff.
