Manchester Recruiters

Our Process

Expert search consultants are there to help you from start to finish in the search for a new person to join your leadership team. Our executive search agency utilises a personalised approach that combines cutting-edge recruitment technology, our extensive industry expertise, and a large network of partners for recommendations and referrals. This recruitment method allows us to identify the right people for senior management roles that will help ensure the long-term survival and success of your business.

The search journey starts with a meeting with your hiring managers to set out the parameters of the job search. That includes getting to know your leadership needs, the requirements for the job, and the experience and qualifications you are looking for in candidates. This first meeting is very useful, because it gives us a clear profile of what we need to look for in the right candidate. Once the parameters of the job search have been set, our team can begin mapping the market for potential matches.

Following outreach, we will conduct screening interviews and evaluations to generate a shortlist of professionals that meet your hiring criteria. This initial screening and interview process includes exhaustive criminal record, background, and reference reviews to verify the resumes of the job seekers. Candidates who meet all the criteria will proceed to the interview stage with your hiring manager, who will ultimately decide which candidate to hire.

If the candidate does not live up to your expectations or leaves the company before the end of their probation period, we will offer to find a free replacement up to 365 days after the hire.

Examples of Roles We Fill

Our Manchester executive recruiters can source talent at all levels of an organisation, from board appointments and the full C-suite, to the functional leadership and specialist roles that keep daily business operations running. We are regularly engaged at the highest level to find chief executives, finance, and technology leaders, and the kind of senior management appointments where one hire sets the direction of the whole company. Recruitment at this level requires discretion and a real understanding of what success means in a role, and that is the standard with which our consultants approach each one.

Below the C-suite, our reach extends across sales, operations, technology, finance, marketing, and human resources. We cover both the management roles that turn strategy into delivery and the technical and creative specialists who make the work happen. This breadth means we can handle a one-off leadership appointment or build out an entire function using the same industry expertise and network. The goal is the same regardless of the brief: to find people who are a good fit for the client’s role, existing team, and long-term business vision.
