Executive search for organisations ready for what comes next.

We find leaders who change what the role is capable of. C-suite and senior leadership search for organisations at a point of significant change.

Brief a search

Our view

Most search firms find someone who is qualified for the role. We identify the person who will change what leadership is capable of.

There is a gap that most organisations can feel but can’t name. Between where they are and where they need to be. Between the complexity of what’s changing and the capability of the people navigating it.

Our purpose is to close that gap by finding the leaders who have already solved the problem you’re facing, somewhere else, with a different company, in a different sector. We don’t send you a longlist. We identify the specific, capable person.

The process

Executive search without the longlist theatre.

How a search works

  1. 01

    The Brief

    We begin with where your organisation is going, not a job description.

  2. 02

    The Search

    We identify the specific person who has already navigated the complexity you’re facing.

  3. 03

    The Assessment

    Typically two or three candidates. We tell you what we think. We don’t hedge.

  4. 04

    The Close

    Through offer and acceptance, and close through onboarding.

From a client
“Harvey was the only recruiter who took the time to understand the very specific requirements I had. Unlike the keyword-matched mediocrity other agencies would flood me with. When Harvey brought someone to me, I knew they had been vetted accurately.”

Questions

Which roles do you recruit for?

C-suite and General Manager roles primarily: CEO, CTO, CIO, COO and MD.

What kind of organisations do you work with?

PE-backed mid-market businesses, Series B+ scale-ups and ASX-listed companies navigating transformation. We work across sectors.

Who runs the search?

Harvey Richmond, directly, on every mandate. Not a junior researcher working from a brief.

How many candidates will we see?

Typically two or three. Each one is assessed against the brief, the culture and the challenge, not just the role requirements.

Is the search confidential?

Yes. We don’t discuss who we’re working with. Our clients prefer it that way.

Do you work outside Melbourne?

Yes. We are based in Melbourne and work with organisations across Australia.

The right conversation starts here.

We take a limited number of mandates at any time. If you’re considering a search, the earlier we talk, the better.
