What We Offer

FWB has a successful track record of serving a wide range of clients including large plcs, growing private businesses, public sector  and charitable organisations. Appointments cover most senior management disciplines ranging from Chief Executives and all of the main functional disciplines.  We also handle searches for specialist or niche roles.

FWB has a considerable network which is complemented by skilled researchers utilising the latest technology, who conduct the rigorous search process.  Each assignment is overseen personally by a Director who will ensure the best possible match between the individual requirements of our clients and the candidates selected.

Our detailed knowledge of a range of business sectors - and the compensation and benefits packages offered to their executives - can help to streamline the recruitment process while our searches offer full market coverage, often international in reach, resulting in a high quality shortlist of potential candidates.

At FWB, we are renowned for the degree of our involvement in the recruitment process.  Our Directors work closely with their clients through the final, often sensitive stages of selection until successful appointment is achieved.

 

A Highly Experienced Team

Clients who commission FWB can be confident that their assignments will be undertaken or overseen personally by one of our Directors/Associate Directors.

Our strong track recoerd has been built on the professional capabilities of our Directors who, between them, have over 60 years' experience in recruitment at a senior level.

We recognise that our future success is dependent on our continuing ability to deliver creative and successful recruitment solutions that will provide clients with business advantage in today's increasingly competitive markets.

As a result we build long-term relationships with our clients, maintaining awareness of trends and changes in their business environment and senior management requirements.

 

Adding Value

Strong leadership is essential to the delivery of a company's strategy and vision.  This means that recruiting the right individual can add considerable value to an organisation.

While the right strengths and capabilities are fundamental, the recruitment process should ensure that the preferred candidate will enhance the existing skill set of the senior management team and that they will be a good fit in terms of management style, cultural background and personality.

Successful companies and organisations require specific qualities over and above the core skills and experience required for the job.  They are likely to be seeking a standard of leadership commensurate with the next stage in their growth, development or diversification.

Clients of FWB also have access to a range of candidate assessment techniques, including psychometric assessment, further in-depth structured interviews and development centre activities.  These techniques provide an objective view of candidates' competencies to inform and assist the selection process.

At FWB we offer discreet and confidential search and selection services.  We understand that for a number of reasons, clients may not wish it to be known they are recruiting at senior level.
