Our Executive Search service guarantees all the quality of a traditional search firm but with flexibility that works around your internal capabilities and talent acquisition goals. We want to remove the mystique of traditional executive search and give clients the ability to only pay for the elements they want and need.
As we use a research-first methodology rather than relying on a database or network. We give you a complete view of the talent that matches your requirements along with their motivations and career plans, as well as developing a cohort of candidates who are interested in joining your company.
Executive Search with Armstrong Craven is cost-effective, data immersive and has been successful for companies all around the world and at all stages of their development.
For 30+ years, we have cultivated high-level business relationships in multiple industry sectors all around the world. We know where to look, who to ask and how to approach discreetly, so we can quickly engage with the best talent on your behalf. In doing so, you have access to the individuals who can take your business to the next level.
There are two sides to recruiting niche and scarce skills. The first is finding the right people where the art is being able to connect quickly and deeply with those specialist markets to identify the best people. The second is to be able to engage with those people, understand their ambition and motivation, and position your business to attract them. Using this approach will attract the best talent, helping you sustain a competitive advantage.
Often the most overlooked talent pool is the one already working with you. We can help you assess your team’s strengths and weaknesses and benchmark them against the external talent market.
We can help you locate highly developed or raw talent within your business, ready to step up to take on new challenges. This holistic view helps you make informed choices about your already available talent, so you can ensure you have people in the best roles to drive your business performance.
Businesses succeed by maximising their use of talent, whatever background it might come from. We can help you target under-represented groups as part of your recruitment policy. Using a targeted approach to improving diversity at all levels within the business will lead to increased revenues and business performance.
We work with you to identify which parts of the executive search process you’re comfortable handling and which parts you want us to look after. This way, you only pay for what you need, nothing else.
With the support of our Insight & Talent Analytics team, we take talent mapping to the next level. We meticulously map competitors and related organisations, ensuring a comprehensive view of the talent landscape.
This enables us to identify the most relevant individuals, providing you with the best starting point for engagement. Don't settle for limited insights and incomplete talent pools. Experience the difference of research-driven talent solutions and elevate your talent acquisition strategy.
Our engagement process goes beyond surface-level interactions. We aim to have meaningful career conversations with each target person, delving into their current responsibilities, progression prospects, and most importantly, their aspirations and ambitions. This in-depth understanding provides a valuable measure of the target talent pool.
When confidentiality allows, we openly share details of the role, inquire about people’s perceptions of our client, and explore factors such as location and remuneration. This level of engagement ensures a comprehensive evaluation of potential candidates and confirms their willingness to move forward.
This stage enriches the talent map with qualitative insights and helps narrow down the selection.
We understand that hiring decisions go beyond mere qualifications and skills. We go beyond traditional interviews and delve deep into career experiences, achievements, working styles, characteristics and developmental milestones. Through a thorough assessment and interview process, we carefully evaluate each candidate. This meticulous approach allows us to select the strongest individuals who align with your company's unique needs and goals.
The result? A final shortlist of candidates who not only have the capabilities to excel in the role but also possess the right cultural fit.
The final stage of the talent acquisition process is often underestimated.
We understand that communication and coordination are key during this crucial phase. Our team acts as a bridge, facilitating clear and timely communication between candidates and clients. We ensure that all parties are well-informed, addressing any concerns and providing support throughout the offer process.
