Executive Search
Technology leadership roles have undergone significant evolution in recent years, placing CIOs
in the spotlight and granting them a prominent seat at the top table. These leaders are instrumental
in shaping and driving new work methodologies powered by technology, and fostering ongoing
change.
In today's business landscape, technology leaders play a crucial role. They must align technology initiatives with commercial and operational objectives, spearheading the adoption of cutting-edge tech solutions to meet the demands of both internal and external stakeholders, ultimately contributing to the success of the overall business strategy.
Drawing from over two decades of experience in technology recruitment, I recognise the pivotal role that diverse and high-quality technology leadership plays in the success of any organisation. These teams are not only cultivated internally through succession planning but also enriched by attracting top talent externally to introduce fresh perspectives and innovative thinking.
The demand for commercially savvy technology leaders is soaring, offering candidates multiple exciting opportunities. Consequently, it is essential for organisations to engage a reputable search partner who comprehends their motivations and aspirations, and who is capable of capturing their interest and effectively presenting new opportunities to them.
Search Process
From pre-search activities such as detailed candidate briefings and search engine optimised advert copy, to coordinating interviews and onboarding, I handle every step of the recruitment process with precision and professionalism. As your trusted search partner, I act as a true extension to your business.
For effective leadership recruitment, a multi-channel approach is key. By combining proactive executive search, database utilisation, and a vast referral network, I ensure a diverse candidate pool. Online advertising supplements search efforts, attracting key talent swiftly and cost-effectively.
Identifying target companies locally and leveraging existing relationships kick-starts the process. Sharing an anonymized snapshot of the opportunity piques interest, leading to detailed role discussions. Engaging technology leaders for recommendations further enriches the talent pool.
Pairing warm outreach with targeted headhunting from tech-driven local businesses, I guarantee success in filling challenging roles.
Diversity
Diversity and inclusion are at the core of my work, ensuring that all aspects of talent, opinion, and experience are considered. By partnering with me, you can authentically advocate your organisation's commitment to this crucial agenda. With the increasing importance of diversity in tech roles, now is the time to take proactive steps towards a more inclusive workforce.
Timescales
Typically, search assignments at leadership level can take between three to five weeks, although I strive to expedite the process, without compromising quality.
