Executive Search

The shortage of high-quality talent in leadership, middle-management, and specialist support skills roles is common across all industries in South Africa. The skilled-labour market is shallower than industry demand for skills requires, which results in high competition for the pockets of top-talent out there. In order to win in this war for talent, traditional ‘spray and pray’ methods of sourcing talent are too slow and ineffective. Top-talent tends to be ‘passive’ candidates and they need to be proactively found through executive search techniques.

Not only are online and social media talent-acquisition disrupting the business-model for generalist recruitment agencies, it’s just as much disrupting traditional head-hunting agencies. They no longer hold the keys to executive-candidate relationships (at a premium service-cost to you).

In order to fill this gap in the market, we provide an Executive Search service. We combine specialist staff, traditional search methods, new digital and social media talent acquisition techniques, and direct searches. We use these to unlock both active and passive candidates, while providing you with the best hiring options when you need them. We proactively build talent-pipelines to minimize your search and hiring time for top-talent. We offer a ‘head-hunting’ service at the generalist-agency cost, with a broader candidate database to leverage for you.
