Executive Search within Change and Transformation
As experts in Change and Transformation, we take the time to build a deep understanding of your values, beliefs, and culture to ensure your next hire is a success.
Beyond Traditional Recruitment
In the complex world of transformation and change, identifying the right role, let alone the right person, can be a genuine challenge. Often, organisations know they need additional capability but struggle to define exactly what that looks like.
We make sure there is clarity on exactly what you are trying to achieve, and work with you to find solutions. Rather than simply matching CVs to job specifications, we begin by understanding your challenges and solving them through people.
Building Exceptional Transformation Teams
We love the complexity of building and moving teams. It's the challenge of all the moving parts that really excites us. Our track record in team builds has included:
Change and Transformation Programmes
Global Portfolio and Project Teams
Digital Transformation & Innovation
Practice and Process Improvement teams
Rapidly scaling delivery teams
Our extensive experience of highly successful team moves and business mergers includes a significant business acquisition for one of the largest professional services firms in the world. This acquisition made a huge impact to the firm both locally and globally and allowed them to leap forward in capabilities in a way that would have been impossible with individual hires.
Our success is down to understanding the wider objectives and blending the skills and experience within the team to encourage diverse ways of thinking. Whether you're delivering change programmes in technology, human capital, innovation, sustainability, or business transformation, we have the expertise to deliver.
Our Collaborative Approach
What sets our most successful partnerships apart is their depth. We become trusted advisors long before recruitment needs arise, developing a thorough understanding of your team's culture, values, and aspirations. This enables us to spot opportunities and challenges early, often finding solutions within your existing team through development and progression.
When new talent is needed, we take a methodical approach:
Deep Discovery: We explore your current challenges and opportunities in detail, examining team dynamics and potential progression paths.
Strategic Assessment: We evaluate whether challenges can be addressed through existing team development or require external talent.
Role Design: We shape positions that enhance team dynamics, carefully considering where new roles will sit within your structure.
Values-Based Selection: We focus on identifying individuals whose values and attributes indicate they could excel, regardless of their specific background.
Beyond the Traditional Talent Pool
Our expertise in transformation and change means we understand the complexity of building high-performing teams. We look beyond the usual candidate pool, considering individuals whose values and attributes indicate they could excel, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative thinking to your organisation.
A Values-Based Partnership
We believe that our unique values-based approach is key to the long-term success of every business we work with. We listen, we advise, we think creatively, we challenge, and we solve problems.
Due to the great experiences candidates have had throughout their journey with us in securing their new roles, many have later become clients, appreciating the extra steps we take to truly understand their needs when presenting CVs. We take pride in maintaining these ongoing relationships, earning their trust to find the right team members for their businesses.

Case Study
We partnered with a recently appointed Global Head of PMO to recruit for multiple newly created roles across their evolving team. The client's vision was clear: build a team with diverse thinking, strong transformation capabilities, and the ability to influence effectively in a partnership environment.
Beginning with a comprehensive strategy, we:
Identified critical gaps within the existing structure
Prioritised and scheduled recruitment needs across a 12-month timeline
Conducted in-depth consultations with each hiring manager to determine:
Core skills and values required for each position
Areas where we could consider transferable skills from outside the legal industry to introduce fresh perspectives
This strategic approach enabled us to not only identify exceptional candidates but also share detailed insights about the firm, team structure, and transformation journey, resulting in highly engaged shortlists for each position.
Results
The engagement proved highly successful, with multiple placements across PMO, Change Management, Project and Programme Management, and Business Analysis. Beyond the successful hires, we helped transform market perception of the team, establishing it as an innovative and forward-thinking function that became an employer of choice.
