A selection of testimonials:

“I found the service offered from Connaught to be very structured and responsive to my needs. The team really spent time to understand the real requirements and objectives of the role before they started trying to match potential candidates to the role - this made the whole process very efficient for me, as we only discussed people who were relevant for the role. The ongoing updates were excellent and clear to understand - for once an enjoyable recruitment process!'
Country Manager, S&P 500 Global Technology Leader

"The level of engagement and quality of service greatly exceeds what traditional search firms can hope to match, and its delivery is at in-house cost. This innovative solution therefore represents the kind of flexible and evolved value proposition that corporations need from the search industry, at this early point in the 21st Century. Any corporate institution seeking to demand deeper, better service from their search partners, whilst simultaneously reducing their recruitment budget, cannot really afford to overlook Embedded Search as a potential solution."

"This Embedded Search operating model provided a level of service that is arguably unparalleled elsewhere in the executive search world, as their dedication to their Client is total. That it comes with the additional benefit of significant bottom line cost saving to the overall recruitment budget makes it an enlightened and highly compelling solution. With high grade, results-oriented Consultants working on-site as an integral part of the Recruitment Team, fully engaged with HR Partners and Hiring Managers, the overall value delivered to the company is in a different space to external suppliers.“

“Connaught helped me solve a complicated staffing challenge; IT Vendor Management Director serving our Europe / Emerging Markets Theater. This "Best in Class" hire will allow us to support our CIO/CEO's mission "Enable every business move we make with IT". Thanks Connaught.
Vice President, S&P 500 Global Technology Leader

"This was a unique and innovative solution to our senior resourcing requirements. Total trust was engendered between the embedded team, HR and the Hiring Managers. It was a great success not only in terms of the quality of candidates, as they were screened much more effectively for longer term cultural fit, but also in terms of cost-effectiveness to Line Manager’s recruitment budgets.“
Senior HR Business Partner, FTSE 100 Global Communications Company

“From Group Headquarters I observed this embedded search model quickly develop into an effective delivery platform. In terms of service levels, great value was enabled by the depth, quality and real-time nature of internal relationships between the on-site team and both Line and HR Management. The quality of candidates submitted were therefore comparable to those from higher cost sources, and in most cases more suited to the culture of our organization, as their screening was more deeply informed. The result was a strong sense of professional trust between all parties. In summary, this embedded search facility was highly successful and provided an invaluable bridge from junior manager selection up to executive director level. The net benefit was a cost-effective senior hiring solution which added real value to, and complemented the overall resourcing strategy.”
HR Director, UK & I, Global Consulting Firm

“I am very protective of the employment brand I represent, and demand high standards from any third party recruitment partner to ensure that they optimise their abilities to represent us well in the marketplace. Through active involvement in the company itself, a good consultant will have an edge in this regard, and indeed, I received regular positive endorsement of the candidate experience from senior shortlist candidates. The team who delivered this solution did an outstanding job for us, and I would be happy to discuss my experience in greater detail with any prospective client organisation.”

“After a few months it was clear that this innovative solution addressed the scale of our executive resourcing challenges and was capable of serving us better than the mainstream executive search firms for most assignments. By working on-site with us as part of the team, the consultants had the arguably unassailable advantage of knowing us in such depth, that even prior to the start of each assignment they were already positioned to finish it better.”
