Permanent Recruitment
Overview.
An unfilled role can restrict progress. A poorly matched hire can create an even greater cost.
Vested helps businesses appoint permanent talent through focused search, informed assessment and a commercial model that gives us a continuing interest in the outcome.
What you can expect from Vested
Vested Executive Search
A commercially grounded brief
Executive search may be appropriate when you are managing a confidential leadership change, planning for succession, entering a new market or appointing someone to lead a significant period of growth or change.
It also provides greater control where the requirement is complex, the candidate population is limited, or the organisation needs to consider leadership experience from adjacent sectors.
A focused search
We begin by establishing the mandate rather than relying solely on the job description. This includes the commercial priorities, leadership expectations, stakeholder relationships and organisational context surrounding the appointment. Where several stakeholders are involved, we help create a shared view of what the incoming leader will be expected to deliver.
We also examine the factors that may affect the search, including remuneration, location, reporting structure and the strength of the employer proposition.
A considered shortlist
Executive candidates are frequently succeeding in their current positions and may not be visible through advertising or conventional recruitment channels.
We map the relevant market, identify potential candidates and approach them directly with a clear and credible account of the opportunity.
The search may include candidates from comparable organisations as well as individuals from adjacent markets whose experience could bring a valuable perspective.
Support throughout the appointment
We coordinate communication, interviews, feedback and the offer process. We help both parties address expectations before commitments are made, reducing the risk of avoidable misunderstandings later.
For a more detailed explanation, see How We Search.
Our expertise pages explain the markets we understand, the appointments we support and the experience behind each area.
Commercial alignment after the start date
The Vested model keeps our financial interests connected to the continuing appointment for longer.
This gives us a direct commercial reason to protect the quality of the brief, the suitability of the shortlist and the expectations established between client and candidate.
