We offer a range of Talent Advisory Solutions

C-Suite Succession Planning:

Businesses need exceptional leaders across the C-suite and leadership team. A lack of forward planning and careful hiring can cause a catastrophic snowball effect across a business. That is why we have developed a tailored leadership succession planning solution. We help you understand skill shortages, develop succession strategies, and identify and develop future leaders within your organisation or look externally to hire the best person who can help advance the business, whether that be pre or post-acquisition, future-proofing, or growth. We have collaborated with consultants to build out leadership functions ready for sale.

Senior-Level Onboarding:

We have spoken to many candidates about disastrous first days or weeks in a new role. Senior hires are expensive on resources, time, and can impact other employees. Therefore, onboarding and, more importantly, transitioning them into a business is crucial. We run workshops and one-to-one onboarding coaching sessions with CEOs, team leaders, and HR functions to support new hires.

Interviewing for Success:

Need an overhaul of your recruitment process? Keep making bad hires? Assessing your hiring strategy could help ensure you attract the right people and that the right people want to join you.

Talent Benchmarking and Competitor Talent Analysis:

We perform comparative analysis to benchmark your talent against industry standards and competitors. Is your reward and recognition package competitive? How does your training and development plan compare to industry standards? What do potential employees think of your brand? Are you looking to acquire a company and need an expert, impartial view? We have worked with private equity firms on talent insights.

Market Mapping:

Gain a strategic advantage with our in-depth market mapping services. We provide detailed insights into talent landscapes, identifying key players and trends to inform your talent acquisition strategy. Our researchers can support you in understanding the talent landscape, helping you gain valuable insights.

Career Transition and Outplacement Services:

During challenging and uncertain times, some businesses are forced to make job cuts across the board. At Hanson Search, we recognise the importance of providing redundancy support for employees. We assist in this process, helping employees navigate the next step in their careers, offering advice to build their confidence, and providing tools to succeed in interviews.

Acquisition of Agencies:

We engage with agency founders globally on their strategic plans for the future and have many conversations with boutiques possessing specific market knowledge or skills interested in being acquired. We assist in identifying and introducing agencies that align with your strategic goals.

Leadership Assessment, Coaching and Mentoring:

Cultivate strong leadership within your organisation with our comprehensive assessment and development programmes. We provide actionable insights and tailored development plans to enhance leadership capabilities.

Hogan and Miras Briggs Testing:

Benefit from our advanced psychological assessment tools, including Hogan Assessments and Miras Briggs Testing. These tools offer deep insights into personality, leadership potential, and team dynamics, helping you make informed talent decisions.

Executive Search

We offer executive search and consulting services, supporting your CEO and leadership team in the identification and development of high-performing boards and executive leadership.

Recruitment

A unique, tailored recruitment approach allows us to achieve an outstanding track record in recruitment success. Employing the best talent is a prime source of competitive advantage so finding a partner to headhunt and secure the right candidate is of paramount importance.

Networking

Offering a structured workshop and events programme year-round to support our clients and candidates through their recruitment and career journeys.
