Recruitment built around Executive Search

Finding the people who rarely need to apply

The strongest leadership candidates are often established, successful and not actively looking for their next role. Reaching them requires more than advertising a vacancy.

Our executive search begins with understanding the business, the role and what success needs to look like. We map the relevant market, identify potential leaders and approach them directly and discreetly.

More than experience on paper

Leadership appointments influence far more than an individual function. They can shape culture, performance, strategy and the people around them.

That is why we look beyond career history. We consider leadership experience, commercial judgement, motivation, track record and the environment in which someone has succeeded.

Every shortlisted candidate is presented with the context behind the CV, giving you a clearer basis for making one of your most important hiring decisions.

Senior involvement throughout

Executive search should not be passed between layers of researchers and account managers.

A senior Opus consultant remains closely involved throughout the search, from understanding the requirement and mapping the market to candidate assessment, communication and appointment.
