A Failsafe Approach to ‘mission Impossible’

We were required to find a resilient candidate with proven leadership skills for a senior, safety-critical role, with the personality to implement positive change in a very complex and challenging sector

This was no fresh task for our client.  Despite a 4-year recruitment process, they had struggled to fill the role and were beginning to think about alternative options.

Key to the success of this assignment was the ability to understand what skills and traits make a good leader within the industry and applying this information to our search practice.  Our intense, in-depth research opened the door to a broader range of proven candidates with the specific mix of skills to be successful within the role.
One-to-one meetings we essential in ensuring the right candidate accepted the job offer.

We were able to find a high caliber candidate for our client, who was in place and fully operational within 2 months of our initial contact with the client.  The individual successfully implemented a change program, which has been positively received around the organization.

After 4 years, we thought the person we were looking for simply didn’t exist. It took only two months for Edward Drummond to prove us wrong.
