Executive search & selection

Executive search & selection

Selby Jennings operates a bespoke search and selection service to our clients globally. The service is aimed at providing high calibre senior candidates to satisfy your whole business or specific divisional requirements.

When asked to provide this service we arrange for a Director and one or more relevant divisional heads to meet with you and discuss in detail the mandate of the role and the desired candidate profile from both a business and cultural perspective.

We agree the terms of the retained assignment and instruct a team of researchers and consultants to produce a shortlist of individuals for interview and then appointment.

The Selby Jennings Search team has a strong track record in identifying and delivering candidates to complete both retained and contingent assignments across all areas of finance.

The team have access to up-to-date and comprehensive market ‘maps’, enabling us to identify candidates who are not actively on the market. We are trained to approach them proactively, discreetly and appropriately to understand under what circumstances they would consider joining our clients. These “passive” candidates prove particularly effective for niche or high demand skill sets, or senior vacancies.

The team have a global reach, and play a key role in Selby Jennings strategy for filling vacancies throughout Europe, US, Middle East and Asia. The team are also able to approach, qualify and present specific individuals or teams to clients where appropriate.

For more thorough, discreet or detailed assignments, we recommend exploring the Search & Selection service. Headhunting “passive” candidates has now become part of our contingent service, but some assignments require more of a partnership and a more involved approach to market than this model allows.
