Executive HR - The establishment of a dedicated team
There has been widespread recognition of the increasingly strategic role played by HR. The dramatic increase witnessed over the last four years in the demand for human resources professionals, and the expansion of our HR Executive team, dedicated to servicing senior HR appointments, (attracting salaries over £60k) is by no means a coincidence.
A number of considerations have prompted this move. In the absence of any nationally recognised executive recruiter for the senior HR market, employers have had little choice other than to entrust their recruitment needs to established, generalist search and selection organisations. This has frequently proved a less than satisfactory arrangement, as the expertise offered by these organisations often does not extend beyond the sectors within which they recruit -very much out of step with the 'transferable ' nature of HR skills. Our decision to establish a dedicated Executive HR team is based on the desire to build on our national HR business, but also to satisfy the expectation of a premium-offering for both candidate and client.
