OUR SERVICES

Executive Search

Executive Search is our service for Senior Appointments. We handle complex, often confidential appointments that require full searches into the active and inactive candidate markets.

Working closely with our clients, we scope a detailed project and provide in-depth market advice while developing attraction strategies together. We use project management software to deliver and communicate progress, resources and timescales so clients know exactly how the project is progressing. Openness and transparency in all that we do is central to our business.

We are passionate about maximising the performance of candidates that we place, and providing clients with an excellent ROI. To do this we use world leading psychometrics to understand our candidates, their potential teams and the stakeholders around the role. We are then able to provide information and where necessary, development programmes for clients that will ensure increased effectiveness, higher levels of performance and improve retention.

Recruitment

This is the Grove House Executive Search contingent recruitment service for completing recruitment projects that do not require the level of resources allocated to our Executive Search business. However, the principles of service and delivery remain the same.

Generally drawn from advertising, and databases we have built up over time, we work with you to identify a strategy to attract the best talent as well as building a competency base that allows us to identify those candidates that are most likely to perform best in the role and within the team. We can even assess suitability for WFH vs the Office. As with our Executive Search process, we use detailed project planning to ensure consistency of performance, clarity, openness and transparency in everything that we do.

All candidates are interviewed in-depth against agreed criteria, and the best candidates are asked to complete our leading psychometric tests that ensure best fit to the role and the business, potential for future growth and when linked with development, their ability to excel in the role and provide an excellent ROI.

Interim Management

At Grove House Executive Search, we understand that businesses face critical leadership gaps during periods of change, growth, or transition. That's where we come in – as your trusted partner in Interim Management.

In today's fast-paced business landscape, adaptability and agility are key to success. Interim Management offers a flexible and efficient solution to address your organisation's immediate leadership needs. Whether you're navigating a merger, launching a new project, or temporarily replacing a key executive, interim managers bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the table.

Our team of seasoned interim executives and leaders is ready to step into your organisation and make an immediate impact. They bring years of industry-specific knowledge and a proven track record of achieving results. With a commitment to your company's success, our interim managers seamlessly integrate into your team, driving change and ensuring continuity.

Talent Identification & Management

TIM is our Talent Identification and Management programme. Based on resource planning and working closely with our clients, we identify key roles that are likely to be required in the coming 24 months. We will create measurable job competencies and technical skills that future hires will need and build a talent pool of candidates that meet or will meet those criteria.

Keeping in touch and building relationships with this group of potential talent enables us to quickly respond when you have a vacancy. Candidates are ring-fenced, already warm and we know location preferences, salary levels, WFH pre-requisites, ambitions, competencies and technical skill levels. Importantly, we know when they are ready to move.

Backing TIM with the use of market leading psychometrics, we are also able to identify development needs and best fit for the business. Our HR L&D partners can also create programmes for your new staff member and their teams to ensure high levels of productivity are achieved quickly.
