Our focused team approach means that each of our more than
30 offices in Europe, Africa, Australia and the Middle East shares
access to a confidential and diverse network of more than 100,000
candidates. This network is our Global Talent Bank, a constantly
growing and refreshed pool of highly experienced executives and
leaders possessing specialist knowledge and skills.
In Executives Online’s process and philosophy, there are no artificial boundaries
– geographical or organisational – to accessing talent. All client service staff have
free and unfettered access to the entire Talent Bank and frequently work together
on projects. This means that in addition to the Practice Leader directing your
recruitment project, you’ll further benefit from the contributions and perspectives
of the entire Executives Online network. This unique way of working across
offices and practices means that we are unusually adept at fulfilling international
recruitment briefs, to help our clients enter and grow exciting new markets.
The Executives Online Global Talent Bank is the first port of call for each
assignment, searchable by role, skill, industry, remuneration, geography and any
keyword imaginable to laser in on the audience most appropriate for every role.
From the Talent Bank we can begin generating quality applications for your role
within days of your briefing us. Executives Online Practice Leaders then augment
their candidate attraction activities via personal networking, targeted job board
advertising, business and professional networking sites and directed head-
hunting. This multi-faceted approach to talent acquisition enables us to accelerate
the search process on each and every client project, minimising the time a vital
role stands vacant in our clients’ organisations.
Our approach to servicing our clients’ needs shares more with
professional services firms than recruitment agencies.
Each time we embark on a search to find the right person for a role, we develop
a detailed brief of requirements. Unlike many job descriptions, which may
focus mainly on tasks and the profile of person sought, an Executives Online
brief encompasses key objectives and deliverables up and down the reporting
structure and measurements of success, as well as required skills, past track
record, ambition, location and remuneration. This ensures that our shortlisted
candidates are matched to deliver the highest performance in a given role, within
the specific corporate structure and market conditions.
Unlike many in the recruitment industry, we don’t treat candidates like
commodities. Our bespoke project management system makes it possible for
us to inform every individual candidate of their exact status at key stages in the
process, thus ensuring the integrity of relationships and employers’ brands.

Leader, a seasoned professional whose track record

identify with your needs because they’ve been in your

organisation and meeting business objectives.
In addition, the networks and strong connections

years enable us to effectively assess candidates’
professionalism and track records.
All of this means that our team is ideally positioned to

Interim management
We provide executives whose skills and experience are matched precisely to tackling the
challenges and achieving the objectives of each assignment, and who are ready to start work
in just days. Our interim managers deliver key corporate initiatives, inject essential skills into the
organisation, and fill vital roles at short notice. They provide the ultimate cost-effective and efficient
executive resourcing solution.
Executive recruitment
We supply permanent recruitment at an executive level and offer a proactive service that delivers
senior talent across all industry sectors. As with our interim service, we only introduce carefully
vetted candidates whose skills, expertise and experience are tightly matched with each client’s
requirements. Our permanent recruitment timescales are usually measured in weeks, rather than
the months often associated with traditional executive search.
Unfilled management or executive roles represent
a huge opportunity cost for any organisation.
Conventional recruitment methods, such as traditional
executive searches, are inherently inefficient, costly
and slow, often taking many months.
For interim management roles in particular, time is of the
essence. Through our dynamic Global Talent Bank, we typically
deliver a shortlist of briefed and interviewed interim candidates,
hand-selected for each individual role, in a matter of days. Our
permanent recruitment timescales are measured in weeks rather
than months – although we can, if needed, accelerate that.
Our confidence in our ability to identify strong, appropriate
candidates for each role drives our fee structure. Executives Online
fees are success-weighted, driven by and linked to the result our
clients expect – a successful placement.

I have worked successfully with Executives Online on
several assignments across Europe for both senior
permanent and interim positions. They are able to identify
and attract high calibre candidates and as a result only
present quality candidates. Communications with Executives
Online are excellent throughout the whole process from
assignment briefing to successful candidate selection and
commencement.
David Short | HR Director, Elster Gas
Executives Online completely understood our requirements
and knew how to interpret them perfectly. Our needs were
quite specific yet Executives Online not only managed to
present us with one ideal candidate but several, all of whom
were spot on. There were three excellent contenders, all of
whom were perfectly capable of doing the job.
