Our Approach

We begin each search for a future key executive at the drawing board with a blank piece of paper. No two businesses or role requirements are the same so we invest considerable time at the start in gaining a deep understanding of what sort of person you want. We adopt a consultative approach with both clients and candidates.

Empirical evidence has shown that the most difficult part of hiring top professionals is initially finding them and then attracting them to switch. Understandably, they are not circulating their CVs and they hesitate to jeopardise their current position. We have the tentacles through our networks, industry knowledge, skill and intuition to reach the perfectly qualified person. 

Our consultants are highly experienced former senior business executives from a wide variety of backgrounds whose skillsets are complemented by their extensive networking in specialised areas. These contacts create a back-up virtual organisation which enables them to bring all of their acumen to the all-important initial interactions with senior sources and prospects on a search.

Our methods are based on a thorough understanding of each client’s strategic, financial, and operational issues. We strive to bring value to client organisations by listening to and understanding their needs.  

We communicate proactively with our clients, ensuring they are constantly updated in the search for what they are seeking.

Our Ethos

We are committed to helping our clients identify and recruit individuals who will contribute to the success of their organisations for years to come. We have one objective: to help you add quality employees to your company…we get the gun for hire to help your company shoot the lights out in performance.

Our business is identifying and recruiting talent for our clients. We believe that a successful search requires a partnership between our firm and our client. This partnership results in a blend of perspectives and skills that complement one another and enhances the prospect of hiring the right person. 

6 Degrees Executive Search helps companies build superior leadership teams that can improve profitability and help create a sustainable competitive advantage. We focus on specialised leadership functions, including CEOs, Executive Directors, CFOs, COOs, Sales & Marketing, Communications & PR and Human Resources across all industries. We can expedite the hiring process for you and ultimately help find the best available candidate for your company.

We are a boutique executive search company that value quality over quantity. That means you will only meet with professionals who satisfy your company’s specific criteria.  

Our Hiring Process

Executive Search is not about ticking off boxes on a job description or sifting through CVs. It’s about understanding your industry, your company and your brand, then setting out to find and attract the best match. Our solution is proactive from the outset.

We follow a broad, creative approach in identifying potential candidates. We assess candidates based on your needs and what success they have brought to your industry. During the interview stage, we gather feedback and manage candidate expectations – serving as your trusted advisor throughout the entire recruitment process.

We understand the competitive pressures you face in finding the best prospects for your company. It starts with the questions we ask. We view your open position as it relates to your organisation as a whole. We are management consultants helping companies understand where and how they can be more successful and providing them with talent to pilot that success.

We take time to understand your company, from core values and culture to annual performance objectives. We will meet with superiors, peers and subordinates to fully understand the dynamics of your company. The steps are simple: Researching, Sourcing, Screening, Interview, Evaluation & Selection 

We represent you not the candidate. We let the experience and track records of our candidates speak for themselves.

We understand the urgency of your search for qualified candidates. We respond quickly yet thoroughly to find the best selection in your industry, so that you can fill vital leadership roles to keep your company moving forward.

The consultants you engage to work with you manage every aspect of your executive search, providing you with a distinctly personal service and direct accountability. The people you see are the people you get. Yet each time you engage us in an Executive Search you gain access to all of our consultants and all of their networks.
