  1. 01

    Discovery and Alignment

    We don’t believe in filling seats. We understand that each assignment is unique so we start by immersing ourselves in your world - your strategy, culture, leadership style, parameters for success, aspirations and associated challenges and then we can provide an agreeable plan of action with timescales.

  2. 02

    Market Mapping, Intelligence & Research Team

    We take a research-led approach to every brief. Our team maps the full talent landscape using our networks, data tools and sector knowledge which is less about finding who is available and more about who is right. Our insight goes beyond the obvious and into previous track record, influence, evidence of results and potential to ensure only the most relevant, high-impact individuals make it onto your radar.

  3. 03

    Engagement & Assessment

    Once we’ve identified the right people, we bring your story to life. We engage candidates with a clear, honest message about the role, the business and the opportunity ahead. Every conversation is designed to test capability, motivation and fit so by the time you meet them, you’re seeing leaders who genuinely align with your vision and values.

  4. 04

    Onboarding & Ongoing Support

    Our service continues through the offer stage, notice period and onboarding to support new leaders in settling in, building momentum, and making a difference fast. From introductions to key stakeholders to early check-ins, we stay alongside you to ensure a smooth transition and long-term impact.

Here’s why clients trust FR Executive to find their next leader:

A Consultative Partner

We’re advisors, not just recruiters. We take time to understand your vision and the kind of leadership needed to get you there.

Exclusive Talent Network

Our network runs deep. We’ve built long-term relationships with senior marketing, digital and technology leaders across the UK and beyond who are always happy to pick up the phone to us.

Commitment to ED&I

Diversity forms part of our own DNA & culture and therefore runs through to our searches. We’re committed to building inclusive shortlists that open the door for every kind of leader.

Ongoing Support

Our job doesn’t stop after an offer is accepted. We’ll support you through notice periods, onboarding and check in regularly to make sure your new hire has landed with the right impact.
