PSD Partners’ Client focused – Executive Search.

Time and again, it has been proven that the most cost & time effective method for identifying and attracting the best global executive and leadership talent to any organisation is to use a focused executive search process. Our process not only looks for those on the market, at a particular point in time. PSD Partners source the best…. globally. This includes those who are not necessarily seeking alternate opportunities at a particular point in time. PSD Partners’ is a consultative approach that works.

Why PSD Partners

PSD Partners delivers a direct global search capability to our clients. The process is managed directly by us. It is not mediated through multiple overseas offices, nor an international partner firm network. Each Partner manages the process with his fellow Partners, so no part of the process is delegated to less experienced colleagues or researchers.

Our model is based on supporting the strategic, people and commercial challenges that are faced by expansion stage companies which are developing and growing global operations.

The critical task of finding the right people for key roles in overseas operations is a more challenging process than in-country recruitment. PSD Partners use their high standards of professionalism and skills in overseas markets. Challenges such as geographic distance and cultural differences exist, but our Partners work hard to overcome these issues and apply their considerable soft and hard skills to deliver a thorough global search.

Our Partners have worked closely with a wide range of internationally growing companies, in a variety of sectors including, ICT, Environmental & Clean Tech and Life Sciences, over the past ten years helping them to source leadership talent.

Our philosophy is underpinned by the core values you would expect from a trusted partner: professionalism, confidentiality and results combined with an entrepreneurial mind-set which means we deliver a responsive, flexible, speedy and cost effective executive resourcing service to our clients.

PSD’s uniquely persuasive approach:

The approach of PSD Partners is different:

• When you work with PSD Partners that is precisely what you get: the Partners of the firm in other words, twenty years plus, each, of corporate, entrepreneurial and search industry experience.
• The Partners actually do all the work. – minimum of two Partners work as a team on each assignment.
• Partners conduct every aspect of the search,
• developing the brief,
• writing the position specification & candidate profile,
• conducting the research,
• making the approach to senior candidates,
• marketing your opportunity and your company in an appropriate manner,
• delivering feedback & update reports to clients and candidates,
• interviewing and assessing appropriate candidates
• ...and delivering the right person.
• We combine ‘best practice’ search methodologies with our extensive global database and network of executive talent across the world and ‘state of the art’ technology/online research 
• Our global database and network has been developed directly by our Partners over the past ten years. It is not a second or third hand network which we access via an ‘arm’s length’ relationship either with an international search firm network or an overseas office network.
• We invest time in understanding the nuances, culture and values of our client’s business. Our approach is consultative. We develop long-term partnerships with both clients and candidates.
• PSD Partner develops a 360° perspective on the role and performance expectations/timelines. We achieve this by having in-depth briefing discussions with all key client stakeholders in the role. This may include direct reports (up & down), key members of the executive team and peers.
• PSD Partners in-depth performance- orientated and proven assessment methodology ensures we deliver top performers who are the right organisational and cultural fit.
• At PSD Partners, we ensure our clients know where their assignment stands right throughout the process. This commitment to clarity at all times and pro-active communication also extents to the candidates we approach on behalf of our clients.

PSD Partners is flexible and responsive to changes in emphasis and direction in our client’s requirements and our model is cost-effective, without compromising the professionalism and integrity of the process.
