Our Customer Feedback…..
I have dealt with a number of Executive Recruitment Consultants but have found that such great Executive recruiters that understand your business are unique.
Most are after the ‘quick placement’ and then move on – the vast majority push candidates that are not even close to a match to my needs but are put forward because of a single word in a candidates CV, like ‘project’, ‘strategy’ etc.
Paul Simms from Wright Executive Recruitment is different. He takes the time to understand, at a detailed level, the specific requirements and skill sets and any unique client needs.
He has maintained an ongoing relationship with me that has allowed the firm to tap into resources the firm would not otherwise be able to secure. Paul has a high sense of personal and business ethics, is well respected and it is a pleasure to work with him.
After working with several other agencies in an attempt to fill a challenging role, we decided to give Paul & Wright Executive Search Recruitment an opportunity. After an initial meeting to discuss our brief, he came back quite quickly with two candidates who meet all our requirements.
Paul is a professional who understood our needs and expectations from day one.
We would highly recommend Paul and Wright Executive Recruitment to other professional firms and we would most certainly use him again."
Wright Executive Recruitment are highly capable of thinking outside the square when advising job seekers and clients.
Many of the vast number of executive recruitment consultants I have dealt with as both a job seeking candidate and as a hiring client do not seem capable of this approach.
Wright Executive Search provide an impeccable level of professionalism and high-quality service. In addition to this, they ask the right, intelligent and intuitive questions to understand what really motivates all parties.
This adds value to the process of ensuring a mutually beneficial match and you know that you are obtaining expertise rather than participating in a box ticking exercise.
Paul, I would like to express my thanks for the way in which you managed the executive recruitment process.
Firstly, you quickly understood the need that I had, and the short timeframe within which I needed to fill, what is a crucial role within my team. It is clear to me that you explained with clarity the nature and requirements of the role to (candidate) and indeed, the opportunity that presented itself for her against the background of the aspirations that (candidate) would have shared with you.
Given your effective matching of my needs with those of (candidate), from the first meeting with her it was clear to me that she was the right person for the job. It is relevant not to underestimate the importance of you matching needs with opportunity as it meant that I did not waste valuable time evaluating marginal candidates.
I thank you for the real interest you showed in the way you managed the process, I look forward to working with you again and would wholeheartedly recommend you to professional firms seeking an efficient executive recruitment experience.

How does the Executive Search process work?
As a highly respected Executive Search Firm, we will arrange a time to meet with you in person. In the meeting we will go through a comprehensive job brief surrounding the role. Also we will take the time to get to know you and your company, why it would be a great environment for a candidate to join, and more importantly understand precisely the talent requirements that will match your needs.
Following the meeting we then get to work utilising every tool and process available to confidentially and discreetly reach in to the market, networking with potential suitors, building a long list and then ultimately a shortlist of suitable candidates to present to you.
It’s at this point the process is over to you, however we help you manage and deliver a robust interview process to determine which of the candidates are most appropriate to hire.
Once a decision is made, we complete background checks at your request, manage the offer process, paperwork and commencement date.
It doesn’t stop there, we are committed to ensuring that any placement is a successful one and that we have fulfilled your goals. Continued conversation will be maintained with you and your new employee, way beyond the date at which they join your team and become a valued member of staff.
