The SD Difference

Many general management roles cannot be described with a ‘one size fits all’ label but require combinations of skills which are going to be value adding in the particular sector and role.  Without understanding this and being able to enumerate the precise underlying requirements of the role, finding the right candidate is unlikely to happen.

We understand this and our experienced team is able to approach each assignment from this standpoint, finding out exactly what will define success and working with clients to help them develop the real key performance indicators for the role.

Our Approach

As with our Human Resources and Technical Sectors, our approach is bottom up and collaborative.  We spend time understanding our clients business and are often able to add immediate value to an assignment because of the actual line management experience of our team.

Using a combination of extensive networks and focussed research we are rigorous in our analysis of candidates and roles believing that we have a responsibility to facilitate introductions only when the requirements of both clients and candidates are likely to be fulfilled.  Senior general management and director appointments are amongst the most important decisions made within organisations and mistakes are costly.  We ensure that risk is mitigated by the thoroughness of our processes and the experience of our team.

Our Team

Mairi Bannon, Mike Grasby, Mike Haffenden and Stuart Hetherington lead our general management activities although we have additional specialist legal, financial and commercial recruitment skills to call upon amongst our consultants. 

We always identify the most effective team for assignments and where we do not have the skill-set to be sure of success would not undertake the search.  Rather we would suggest other consultancies better equipped for the assignment.
