The challenge

A single, high-impact regional leadership appointment. The pool of proven senior sales leaders across North and Central Europe is small, largely passive and well looked after by their current employers. On a hire this important, getting it wrong is costly, so depth of assessment mattered as much as speed.

Our approach

We calibrated the brief with Hyland's leadership, then mapped the market and headhunted in-market sales leaders directly. A shortlist of seven candidates was presented in seven working days. Four progressed to interview, two were prioritised and taken to final interview, and we managed the process end to end, including offer and acceptance.

The outcome

The successful candidate was appointed in under four weeks from start to finish. The appointment is backed by our 180-day free replacement guarantee, because on a hire as important as this we share the risk.
