HSEQ & Sustainability Executive Search

If you are looking to make an executive hire, gaining a thorough brief for a role is the critical first step in our process for identifying top talent for your business.

We hold exploratory conversations with key stakeholders across your organization to develop an in-depth understanding of your company’s goals, culture and candidate preferences.

If the details of a position are unknown, we will work collaboratively with you to draft a job specification based on your needs and the key business outcomes you would expect from a successful appointment.

Once we have a thorough brief for a search, the Shirley Parsons team begins developing a map of the talent landscape, utilizing our proprietary database of knowledge and holding discussions with relevant professionals, organizations and associations in your target market.

This process generates extensive industry and competitor benchmarking data that we use to further refine our search criteria and align expectations with reality.

Building on our research, we begin proactively and persistently approaching candidates that match the search criteria, often including hundreds of individuals that, on paper, meet the requirements for a role.

Potential candidates then undergo a rigorous Shirley Parsons interview process to assess whether they possess the acumen to drive your business forward whilst also meeting your cultural requirements.

Over the course of a couple of weeks, we gradually refine a shortlist of 4-6 candidates who are the best match for your organization based on cultural, leadership, performance, team and integration fit.

We compile comprehensive profiles for every shortlisted candidate we submit for your review, providing specific information on their current situation, past achievements and future aspirations.

We remain engaged throughout your interview process, providing two-way feedback between candidates and your hiring committee, and radically reducing your time-to-hire to as little as 2 months from our initial discovery call.
