Specialist Executive Search Services
Hanson Executive is the dedicated Board, C-suite and senior leadership search practice within the Hanson Search Group. With over 24 years of experience in senior appointments across industries and international markets, we focus on roles that shape a business’s direction and performance, from CEOs and Board members to executive committee and N-1 positions.
Our Executive Search Process
Every search is led by a Partner from the first conversation through to successful appointment. We take time at the outset to understand the business, the role and the wider context around the hire. That may include growth plans, succession, changes to the leadership team or a new phase in the organisation’s development. During these early conversations, the senior consultant leading your search draws on their own experience of your sector and market to define what success in the role looks like.
After agreeing on the brief, we carry out detailed market mapping and direct outreach to identify top candidates, leveraging our global network to find those not on the open market. Our relationships and credibility allow us to engage the right individuals quickly.
Executive Search Built for Ambitious Businesses
We excel in supporting organisations where senior appointments are critical to the business’s future. Our clients include founder-led companies, private equity-backed businesses, international organisations, and firms undergoing substantial growth. Many are scaling rapidly, entering new markets, completing acquisitions or expanding their leadership teams.
These businesses need a thorough executive search process, but they also need a partner who stays close to the brief and understands the fine points behind the appointment. Our structure allows us to offer that level of attention. Searches are led senior to senior, free of unnecessary layers between the client and the person responsible for delivering the mandate. We combine a global reach, with a boutique, personal service. Therefore, our clients benefit from proven networks and market knowledge without losing the personal involvement that can be difficult to maintain in a larger search structure.
