Retained Executive Search
Evelyn Gordon provides retained executive search for senior, Director and C-suite appointments across the Testing, Inspection & Certification (TIC) industry, with a strong focus on the USA and global markets.
Working exclusively on your search allows us to take a focused approach to identifying, engaging and securing the right senior talent for your organisation.
A Dedicated Approach to Critical Leadership Appointments
Finding the right leader takes time, focus and a thorough understanding of the market.
Why Retained Executive Search?
The strongest leaders aren't always actively looking for their next opportunity.
Retained executive search allows us to look beyond the active candidate market, proactively identifying and approaching senior professionals whose experience aligns with your organisation and its ambitions.
By working in partnership throughout the search, we can invest the time needed to understand your requirements, map the relevant market and focus on finding the right person, rather than simply the first available candidate.
When Is Retained Search Right for You?
Retained executive search can be particularly valuable when an appointment is:
-
Senior or C-suite
-
Business-critical
-
Highly specialist
-
Difficult to fill
-
Confidential
-
Targeting a limited pool of proven talent
For these searches, having one dedicated executive search partner provides greater focus, accountability and consistency throughout the process.
