Global Chemicals Expertise

After quickly delivering on the initial hiring scope, the client appointed NES Fircroft as their official Executive Search partner for all technical or leadership roles, from mid-level engineers up to Board level. Our hires were so successful in their new ventures that the hiring scope grew drastically – we over exceeded with every role and have placed over half of the client’s
leadership team since our initial engagement. Leveraging the passive market and maintaining client integrity, whilst effectively being able to convey the breadth of opportunities to prospective hires has been key to our success.

We are very consultative in our approach and have close relationships with the HR talent acquisition and hiring managers – we understand the nuances of the client’s business and the culture fit so well that we have a 100% success rate in getting short-listed candidates an interview.

• Many of the positions we have filled have never existed before and we therefore actively tailor what the client is looking for in the market to ensure they get the best possible outcome for their growth.
• We provide regular market commentary including advising where to launch recruitment campaigns
• We enable them to benchmark their roles by providing rate advice and salary guidance
• Through our experience we have helped the client to form attractive retention packages for senior hires
• Our understanding of the client’s needs is so comprehensive that we conduct all first stage interviews without client involvement

We appointed a dedicated Account Manager from the beginning who has been the focal point of every hiring drive and where required, leveraged our wider global team which spans 45 countries.

We have developed a strong understanding of our client’s culture to ascertain what good truly looks like during the candidate qualification process. Our support is not adhoc; we only provide candidates that share their vision and align with their value proposition to ensure the company upholds their market-leading position.

Through weekly update calls we ensure that all stakeholders are kept in the loop. As they are at a senior level, some roles are highly confidential and the client has confidence
that we will operate with discretion.

The combination of our global infrastructure and local talent pools means we understand the available candidate pools on a granular level.

Our curated short-lists have been so impressive that on multiple occasions the client has created extra vacancies in order to secure the talent we have head-hunted.

Our support has demonstrated immense business value. After 18 months of using us the client realised just how much money they had saved through our Search service and have therefore since acquired an internal talent acquisition professional. However, this person only focuses on their junior level roles; the client still needs NESF for our market expertise when it comes to securing their more senior positions.

They do have a second tier supplier but have cemented our status as their preferred supplier, commenting that our sector knowledge is second to none.
