How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

Confidential approach

Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.

Interviews and site visits

We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.

Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
