Perfect Fit for a Close-knit Senior Team

The objective was to find and recruit a Non-Executive Director with both a rare and specific set of skills for a UK SME, specializing in the development of solutions for the Nuclear industry.  It was imperative that the candidate had the drive and personality to enhance a high-achieving and well-established management team.

What made this assignment particularly challenging, was the  difficulty in finding a person with the right skills combined with the right personality to fit into a niche executive team.  The candidate needed both experience with regulatory and compliance issues in nuclear decommissioning, along with a Legal background or profile.

We began by producing extensive insights through industry and regulatory bodies, along with focusing our search on current professionals within the sector across the whole of the UK.  This produced a much wider pool of talent.

After careful interviewing and in-depth research around prospective candidates, we were able to shortlist three people within three months.  Our client was left with a tough but desirable problem of choosing the candidate from the 3 shortlisted who could effectively deliver within their niche management team.
