Executive Talent is founded on three basic principles

Trusted Advisors – We aim to become a trusted advisor to our clients and to generate absolute confidence in our skills, network and delivery.  Our approach is head hunting with a consultative approach – we get as close as possible to our clients to allow us to really understand their needs, culture and polices.

Exceed expectations - We are focused on delivering a level of service that continuously sets the industry benchmark, exceeding the expectations of our clients and candidates alike. We are known for looking beyond the obvious and getting underneath the skin of our clients and candidates. It is this approach that has ensured Executive Talent delivers the best possible fit between a company, role and an individual.

Consistent delivery – Executive search is about trust, discretion and consistency.  Outstanding executive appointments, delivered time after time, depend on acutely informed and talented individuals working with an experience-proven process.

Why Executive Talent

There are numerous recruitment businesses available to choose from in the market these days, and it is very difficult to separate them. If you are a Hiring Manager or Recruitment Manager thinking of using the services of a recruitment business for the first time, it must be difficult to decide who to use. Feedback from clients and candidates is normally very hit and miss – sometimes fantastic, sometimes good, and sometimes dreadful.

At Executive Talent, our philosophy is based on getting it right first time. We have a passion for recruiting properly, and doing things the right way. We only work on a volume of vacancies we can comfortably handle (usually no more than 5 per consultant at any one time), and we are very selective as to which candidates we have on our books. This approach allows us to deliver our promise to consistently meet and exceed our client and candidate expectations, and make the experience of dealing with Executive talent a positive one.
