Executive Search

We find the outstanding executive talent for your leadership team.

We find the outstanding executive talent for your leadership team. From MD, CFO, COO, CPO- right up to CEO - our experienced Executive Search offering is most suitable for situations where precision, thoroughness and discretion take precedence over speed. Following our 8 step process below, we will deliver you a detailed search of your entire marketplace in order to identify and attract the ‘A* grade’ talents who are capable of transforming businesses, rather than simply filling roles.

Our Executive Search process typically takes between 8 and 12 weeks. During this time, we provide clients with: fortnightly updates, detailed data reports, feedback on their employer brand, diversity and inclusion strategy and data, and a detailed 2,000 word summary on each candidate we feel is suitable. This will include not just their professional expertise and credentials, but also their motivations and personal values. Having been retained by over 220 clients in 2021 alone, we can lay claim to being the trusted go-to Executive Search partner for the UK and USA start-up and scale-up community.

Our track record

The team at Harmonic were brilliant, I needed a CFO for a scaling start up, and quickly. They were patient, listened to the company’s needs and turned the role around very quickly. The service was great, and I would highly recommend.
