Client Offerings

EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Executive Search - C-Suite Level: We find CIOs, CISOs, CDOs, and CTOs who can actually deliver in your specific environment. Our approach is based on confidential market mapping and direct headhunting of passive candidates - not LinkedIn posts and applications.

Executive Search - GM/Head of Department: We place General Managers and Heads across digital, data, platforms, security, architecture, and enterprise applications. Same rigorous approach as C-suite search, tailored for critical senior leadership roles.

Executive Search - Senior Manager/Emerging Leader: We find your next generation of senior leaders - the emerging talent who will become your future GMs and Heads. These placements build your leadership pipeline and internal bench strength.

Connected Team Build: When you're building an entire leadership layer, we coordinate the sequence, timing, and cultural fit across multiple hires. For an ASX 200 healthcare and consumer goods company, we placed nine senior leaders over 18 months, building a connected team that actually works together.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE SERVICES

Market Intelligence Briefing: A focused conversation about your specific hiring challenge. We share relevant market intelligence about current availability, realistic compensation expectations, and whether your approach will actually work - based on what we're seeing in active searches right now.

Market Mapping: A two-week research sprint that identifies 12-15 specific individuals potentially available for your role. You get a landscape report showing actual people by name, their likely availability, compensation expectations, and recommended hiring strategy.

Role Viability Workshop: You're planning to build out your technology leadership team over the next 12-18 months. We assess whether your planned roles will actually attract talent, whether the structure makes sense given current market dynamics, and where you're likely to face the most competition or difficulty. You get honest feedback on role design, realistic timelines, and sequence strategy before you commit to hiring.

Candidate Offerings

CAREER SERVICES

The Career Reset: A 6-month program for senior technology leaders navigating career transitions. Not a career coach. A recruiter who's actively working with CIOs making these decisions.

  • Positioning that actually works. Materials that get you shortlisted. LinkedIn that surfaces in searches. Stories that make hiring panels lean in.

  • Filters that save you time. Knowing what to pursue and what to pass before you've invested emotionally.

  • Preparation that gives you an edge. When you're in a process worth pursuing, I prepare you like you're one of my own candidates. The same standard of prep I provide at CIO level.

  • Evaluation that protects you. Seeing red flags. Making the right call on offers. A wrong move at this level costs 2-3 years.

It starts with a deep conversation and a document built around you. Then fortnightly calls, role assessments when you're weighing specific opportunities, and async access for the time-sensitive decisions.

Role Assessment: You're considering a specific opportunity and want an honest view before you commit. I research the company, the hiring manager, the context behind the role, and what the job ad doesn't tell you. You get a written assessment covering career trajectory implications, how you stack up against what they want, questions worth asking, and a straight recommendation: pursue or pass.

Career Positioning Brief: A deep review of how you're positioned for your next move. CV, LinkedIn, target market. What's working, what's not, what to fix. Includes strategic targets: researched organisations where your background fits, with current leadership context. Honest, specific, designed to be used.
