Executive Search and Interim Management,  delivering exceptional results

Our Services

Finding the right talent to strengthen, grow and diversify your organisation can be time consuming, and sometimes overwhelming. As your strategic partner and trusted advisor, our bespoke approach takes away the uncertainty and ensures the best possible hiring outcomes.

Executive Search & Selection

Our executive search services deliver exceptional results, whether you are recruiting a new Chief Executive or senior leader, or strengthening your board with a new Chair, Non-Executive-Director or Trustees. We tailor robust yet agile and inclusive recruitment processes to meet your unique needs and ensure a broad, diverse reach for outstanding candidates. In particular we focus on:

• • Understanding your specific and unique requirements is our priority.
  • Adapting bespoke processes to your organisation and to each individual role.
  • Supporting non-profit and public sector organisations and those at the public / private interface.
  • Committing to an exhaustive yet strategic search process to secure the very best talent for your organisation.

Interim Management & Consulting

If you are looking for fast, agile, and flexible talent solutions to lead change, deliver transformation, or drive improvement in your organisation we can provide you with a tailored interim solution which will deliver from day one. 

Through our extensive network of interim managers built over 20 years, we can assist you with short to medium-term requirements by sourcing the very best interim manager or consultant to match your specific needs.

Advisory & Coaching

Working closely with our clients as a trusted and strategic partner, our team of Associates also provide coaching and advisory services for individuals, teams and boards. 

Our ‘Trustee Development’ courses will equip you with the tools, knowledge and confidence needed to make a meaningful contribution to your Board.

Additionally, we work with EDI experts who facilitate courageous conversations and encourage actions that create more inclusive and equitable organisations and Boards. We are passionate about creating equitable, diverse, and inclusive spaces, where everyone is valued and everyone’s voice matters.

“Public Leaders Appointments’ support of both client and candidate through the process is the best I have ever seen, working over the years with several exec search organisations. Because their setup is smaller, they can be really agile to demands and things move forward smoothly. Anna has also opened doors that we didn’t think would be possible for us in the roles that we have recruited.”

Psychometric Assessment

Psychometric assessment is a powerful tool to enhance organisational culture and ensure that you make intelligent hiring decisions. By using data-driven methods, we can gain insights, eliminate biases, and improve recruitment outcomes. We specialise in assessing an organisation’s most valuable asset – its people – through tailored psychometric testing and development tools. Our 360 package is available as part of the appointment and assessment process or for established teams.

Inclusive Recruitment

It is vital that workforces reflect the population they are serving, helping shape society and create communities where everyone can achieve their potential. Inclusive recruitment processes are essential for all organisations and we are incredibly passionate about the benefits that diverse workforces bring.

We cultivate an inclusive recruiting environment to ensure the process considers how different experiences, opinions, and values can work together to achieve a common goal.

Working as your partner, we will identify, attract, assess, and hire a diverse set of individuals through understanding and valuing different backgrounds and opinions.
