Executive search is at the core of everything we do. We have a strong track record, working in partnership with our clients, building a comprehensive understanding of their corporate culture and strategic objectives.

Our methodologies are not prescriptive and we tailor the approach to suit each client’s needs. From full market intelligence and research or straight to a focused shortlist dependent on individual needs, speed and requirement of each client.

Our extensive networks and sector knowledge give us the reach and access to bring the best talent to your business. As specialists we are known within our market segments accessing both your competitors and clients to source the best talent.

Search is by its nature reactive and lengthy. Therefore Hawker Chase offer clients a more strategic approach to succession planning, working with you to identify critical positions within your business and pipelining both internal and external candidates to ensure continuity and avoid lengthy gaps.

We produce detailed job descriptions by interviewing and assessing incumbents. We then work with you to build a ‘live’ shortlist, both internal and external, against each position, benchmarking your internal talent to the market. Quarterly reports are generated and updated with suitable candidates and informal approaches are made, building the relationship and softly marketing your brand, underpinned by informal industry events and gatherings, ensuring that you have a strategic rather than reactive approach to ensuring continuity within your senior team.

In the execution of our day to day business we often come across interesting individuals and smaller companies that can complement our existing client’s activities.  Where this occurs we can effect corporate and personal introductions which often result in JVs or even acquisitions. With a strong ‘City’ network we also have access to investors within the VC, PE and Direct investment market for interesting technologies and IP.

Hawker Chase have access to senior individuals with a wealth of experience gained in Industry, the Military and Government. This can add significant value to your business on an advisory or Non-executive basis bringing corporate, strategic, product or customer experience you your business.  Where a breadth of experience and skills are required we can build a senior talent pool of skills and experience for a business to draw on, allowing your business a flexible resource in order to scale to meet demand and expertise.

Interim Executives are key in order to provide businesses the ability to scale up whether it is to add specific technical or program expertise or to augment existing teams for specific tasks in areas such as bid writing, strategic reviews, turn around, we have a talent pool of highly qualified individuals.

Corporate & Market Intelligence underpins everything we do. Combining detailed mapping with analysis and context we ensure our clients are equipped to make informed decisions, with competitor analysis, market entry, product, client and geographic intelligence.
