We solve people problems by finding and assessing the right people, appraising your existing staff to mentoring managers on leadership and performance issues

clients

We have a wide range of clients from senior managers, corporate leaders and those involved in professional sport through SME's to large corporates and the public sector.
Whatever your organisation's size, we are confident we can help improve your performance. All our services are linked to provide you with a holistic solution and are all interlinked eg. psychometric assessments can throw up the need for new or additional people (executive search or headhunting) or the need for personalised mentoring, the development of mental skills training, mental toughness or the application of peformance psychology.

1. Our psychometric assessments are used for selection, promotion, development and training, downsizing and 360º appraisal. Specific assessments cover the 'whole person', sales, senior management, customer service, team analysis and individual performance.

2. Our mentoring and performance psychology is targeted at senior managers up to and including CEO level and professional or elite sportsmen and women.

3. We have a proven track record of using executive search or headhunting to locate the best, most appropriately qualified candidates - globally if necessary. Email or call us for a discussion on +44 (0)1491 636300. You can also send us your requirements and we will call you.

4. Whilst our core business is psychometrics, performance psychology and headhunting, we have developed additional value added services. These services have arisen because clients have recognised our in-depth knowledge and contact base.

our approach to unique clients
We realise all clients are unique and our approach to servicing clients from that first meeting recognises this. Where possible all potential clients are met face to face to really understand them as high performance individuals and what makes their organisation the success that it is – to not only understand what makes them tick, what has defined them, what they are looking in future talent but to understand the culture of that business.

We like to develop robust relationships with clients and will actively discuss how they or their organisation is performing. For instance if we are discussing the search for a new employee, we will ask if they are an employer of choice ie. how they as a business see themselves or if they have ever had feedback from the market place on such an issue.
We will then reach a decision on our approach which will cover whom we target, from which sectors, specific individuals, aspiring people with potential, other sectors, the use of psychometrics and the timing.

global coverage
Client searches for candidates are truly global eg for a CTO position required to run a national mobile network in Romania we sourced the chosen candidate in the Philippines. Our clients can be based anywhere, though most of our clients are based in Europe, UK, USA, CALA and to a lesser extent AsiaPac though this is changing with the emergence of China as a major market. Our offices are headquartered in the UK with associate offices in Munich, Germany and Atlanta, USA.

headhunting methodology
Searching for the right candidate(s) is based on a job description which provides the right framework for our search. Where possible we recommend the use of the Profile XT assessment which gives a view of the whole person in terms of thinking style, behavioural traits and occupational interests, all of which are crucial in putting the right person in the right job. We then use pure search to locate the right individual, interview him thoroughly, reference check his background before making what will then be a personal recommendation to a client.
