Our Solutions

Permanent Recruitment

When appointing staff at Manager level and above, it is essential to adopt a different process and approach to that undertaken when sourcing and selecting individuals for more junior posts. At Alderwood Executive, our Consultants are solely focussed on senior appointments and are well versed in the most successful means of attracting the right calibre of candidates.

We are able to access and attract a large number of potential applicants through our vast internal database, wide-reaching networks and knowledge of the most successful media and advertising routes. Equally, our approach to selection and assessment is tailored to suit appointments of a senior nature. Our Consultants are trained interviewers and can explore a range of skills, attributes, competencies and behaviours, including business acumen, leadership style, influencing skills, vision and values and motivations.

We often work with organisations who are looking to appoint a number of individuals at Manager level and above, generally as a consequence of organisational change, or contract wins. We can handle all aspects of such recruitment projects, from inception to post-placement support. For some projects, we undertake targeted campaigns across a range of media (either using our client’s brand or under the Alderwood Executive banner). In others, we have successfully relied on our database and networking reach to source high quality talent from both our client’s specific sector and beyond.

Executive Search

Executive Search, or Headhunting, is designed to succeed where normal attraction methods have failed. By normal attraction methods we mean recruitment agency searches, online advertising and word of mouth referral.

The candidates we seek are highly passive, typically they will not be seeking a new role and will be fully immersed within their present career. It is unlikely that they will be marketing themselves in any way to prospective new employers. They will however be creating huge value for their current employers. We focus our executive search activities on identifying these vital few.

The key to a successful Search project is thorough and extensive research. Using a discreet, professional approach, we pro-actively identify, target and secure individuals for our clients. By transferring our methods and knowledge to you, we will save you time, increase your ROI and add value to your organisation. We tailor our approach to suit the specific needs of your requirement. Our industry insight will allow us to advise as to whether targeted advertising could be an appropriate attraction technique. If we decide to adopt that route, engaging the assistance of our in-house Marketing department will enable you to outsource all aspects of advertisement copy writing, design, media buying and response handling.

Interim Management

There are many benefits to engaging interim or temporary consultants as a viable alternative to permanent appointments. Undertaking senior individuals on an interim basis allows organisations to engage with specialists in their field, whilst maintaining workforce flexibility. Interims can also cover vacant permanent posts for reasons such as maternity leave, long-term sickness or shortfall whilst recruiting a permanent member of staff.

Interim appointments can vary in duration, intensity and payment options and can range from Manager to Board level. Whatever the requirement, we seek individuals who will become rapidly embedded within your organisation, with the objective of delivering immediate results.

Engaging an Interim Consultant through Alderwood Executive allows you to outsource all contract management and employment liability. Through consulting with our in-house Accounts and Legal department, we can offer a payment solution to meet your specific needs.
