About the role

As a member of our Search Team, you will lead the engagement and assessment of candidates across the company's most senior and retained searches. You will be able to solve our clients' most complex and high-priority talent needs through a combination of exceptional ability to engage, motivate, and influence passive candidates; a strong judgment in selecting which candidates to approach and which to progress through the process; and the ability to both approach the clients' talent needs with creativity and to influence internal and external stakeholders understanding of the talent pool.

What will you achieve working with us?

You will excel in strategic talent evaluation, utilizing your expertise to assess client talent requirements and devise targeted search strategies. Your efforts will lead to the successful identification and acquisition of top talent aligned with their specific needs.

Your talent identification skills will shine, leveraging innovative approaches to engage and attract high-calibre senior passive candidates.

With your expertise in candidate assessment, you will establish credibility with senior executives and ensure the selection of the best-suited candidates who meet our client's talent needs and are likely to accept an offer.

We are seeking a candidate who comprehends the importance of these responsibilities and possesses a proactive and results-oriented mindset.

Why should you consider not working with us?

We are growing sustainably and profitably - infrastructure needs to be built/evolve, and often there's a feeling that there are too many priorities and not enough time - therefore prioritization, and bringing order to chaos are important capabilities.

It's a positive, high-performance, and demanding work environment. There is normally pressure and tight deadlines. We believe in the saying 'Pressure is a Privilege' - we have worked hard to get to this point where some of the biggest brands in the world depend on us to find their key executives globally. They are top performers, and we need to be also. We are constantly evolving, so change management can be a challenge too.
