The role

Executive Search focuses on identifying and approaching highly skilled and senior professionals, including C-suite leaders, for important business-critical hires.

You’ll be trained to:

• Research companies and specialist technology markets
• Identify and headhunt senior professionals
• Work across the UK, Europe, US and APAC
• Support Consultants on retained Executive Search projects
• Build relationships with candidates and industry professionals
• Develop towards managing your own searches as a Consultant

Because the firm works on a retained basis, the focus is on quality, research and building credibility rather than simply competing to send CVs first.

Who they’re looking for

You could be a recent graduate or someone with early experience in sales, customer service or an office environment.

You’ll need to be confident, resilient, commercially minded and comfortable speaking with senior professionals.

No recruitment experience is required. What matters is your attitude, communication skills and motivation to build a successful long-term career.

Why Executive Search?

This is a chance to develop skills across sales, negotiation, research and relationship building, while gaining exposure to senior decision-makers and international businesses.

You’ll have structured training, a clear promotion route and earning potential that grows with your experience and performance.
