As much effort should go into securing these people as would go into securing senior hires

We are proactive with our research: there’s a completeness and diligence to our process meaning we not only have breadth of coverage, but we understand who people are before we place them. Hiring for potential requires looking beyond the CV, and we build relationships with candidates very early on in their careers so that we truly understand what they are looking for.

This approach makes it possible for us to place more experienced candidates, and we will often have known them since their very first roles.

Drive to Improve

Staying true to our model enables a consistent approach: we seek out exceptional talent and we do not hesitate to go beyond the conventional in order to find it, wherever it exists. We then overlay this with our knowledge of the market and the candidate pool, honing our search process over many years so that the right people end up in the right environments.

We understand not just the hiring needs of our clients, but their culture and environment as well. Developing deep, meaningful and ultimately long-term relationships with our clients allows us to be more effective in terms of refining who we put in front of them, in our ability to be an extension of them in the market, and most importantly, as a partner in how we work together in order to uncover the best talent.

Long-term Change

Finding and hiring talent is only the beginning. A firm’s success also depends on their ability to retain their people, and to create environments which allow for personal & professional growth. Broadening the talent pool is a start, but equal thought and commitment is required to determine how best to support these candidates in their full-time roles.
