Career Mentoring 15% Discount Until End of July - Mid/Senior Professionals at a Career Inflection Point: With the Financial Markets in the UK in their current state, I have had a lot of recent conversations with established professionals who are looking or thinking seriously about a career change from what they have known their whole careers. This is often driven by a number of things: - Frustration with current career and a feeling that there must be something more fulfilling outside of the industry they have always known. - A certain amount of burnout. - A desire to do something more socially impactful outside of financial services. - A desire to see family grow up which has its barriers when working in a intense, long hour City role Monday - Friday. There is sometimes a mix of all the above and many more reasons. If you are looking to get some plan in place for 'Phase 2' then plse see my website - www.thejobmentor.co.uk for details/prices and get in touch. I can help get the clarity you are looking for, put an actionable plan in place and then action that plan to a finish point.

KRS-Associates is hiring recruiters for both our Surrey and London-based offices across numerous levels. If you have experience in recruiting for strategy consultancies and are open to a new challenge, there are a few key points about KRS that are worth noting. 1) Our commission structure hits 40% and we have zero thresholds (e.g. you're earning commission immediately upon billing). I've heard of some strange commission structures recently which seem deliberately opaque or unrealistic. We genuinely like rewarding those who have achieved. 2) We are highly specialised, focused exclusively on the consulting sector. Everything internally is aligned (training, coaching, collaboration, peer-support) to the consulting sector only. This deep specialisation has helped us navigate the tougher market and continue to grow. 3) Your career path can be tailored to being client-centric, an independent biller or a team manager - the choice is yours. If you display the right ability and characteristics, we'll co-create the path with you. For more information on opportunities available, please reach out to Meredith Hone or myself directly for a confidential discussion. #krsassociates #hiring #recruitment #strategyconsulting #managementconsulting

Q4 predictions 💬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 Early conversations with a lot of clients have suggested that Q1 2025 is expected to be a boom period in a lot of sectors across financial markets. Hiring will be done in anticipation of that, and competitive packages will be put together for the best people. 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬 Companies that have ridden out the tough market and had a couple of successful quarters are beginning to re-invest. Candidates with the capacity to build new desks are in high demand. 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 It has been a slow year for majority of the search world, and there has been less movement than previous years. Bonuses are likely to be less generous than previous markets and search consultants will flood the market. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲? I'm still not convinced on this one, but it is quite clear that delivery roles are returning, and R2Rs are being mandated on more delivery roles. I still believe that the best firms will have learned from the mistakes of being too delivery focused in the last two years but we will see... Keen to hear thoughts from around the market. 📱07909622418 💻[email protected]

When it comes to high performance, I have always been fascinated in the parallels between the worlds of sport and business. But it’s the differences that may offer the most lessons and challenges to us - whether it’s maintaining a work-life balance, finding the right training, long term planning in a short term world, managing growth through peak stress moments, or deploying data correctly. Every four years, we’re reminded of those differences and how the best corporate leaders keep finding ways for their firms to compete. Delve deeper in our latest Korn Ferry Briefings edition. #highperformance

Every Friday we will give you an insight of the Recruitment Process here at Football Recruitment ⚽💼. With 35 years of experience in Executive Recruitment we have designed a Selection Process tailor made for the world of Football utilising our Headhunting Experience in over 3000 executed Searches integrating world famous Neuroscience Techniques with the use of AI Tools and Big Data statistics to identify the best available and most suitable candidate on the market 🧠📊. This week we will discuss the 5th Step: Conducting Competency Based Interviews Here at Football Recruitment, we know the importance of correctly interviewing a potential future member of staff for one of our clients. 🌟 The word Interview comes from the French word Entrevue meaning “to see each other, visit each other briefly". That’s perfectly fine but to just “meet someone briefly” isn’t going to be sufficient to establish the suitability of a candidate, therefore we always practice “Competency Based Interviews”. 🎯 This Interviewing Style was developed by Harvard Business School professor Mr. David McClelland. Professor McClelland was able to identify 5 types of Interview Competencies: Motives, Traits, Self-concept, Knowledge, Behavioural Skills. These 5 Competencies are what we call the “Success Factors”. 🔍 During our extensive Competency Based interview process, we use questions aimed at finding out if in any of their previous work experiences our candidates have used skills needed to perform the role they have applied for. We also find out how the candidate approaches problems and different tasks, and we always understand how the candidate responds to challenges whilst using their ability to think quickly and respond adequately in different circumstances. 💡 The word Competency comes from the Italian Word “Competenza” and the French Word “Competence”. They both derive from the Latin Word “Competentia”, a word that means “To meet Together, in Agreement and Symmetry”. 🤝 Here at Football Recruitment, we take these words very seriously because Together we can help our clients to solve their Problems and once we Agree with them our Symmetry of thought is the natural next step meaning that with us, our client and candidates, are never over the line. 🏆 If you are looking to employ a New Member of your Staff or if you are looking to join a New Football Organisation then get in touch with www.footballrecruitment.eu because with us, you are never over the line 🏆

📊 Trend Alert: The UK's senior hiring landscape is undergoing an interesting shift. Data suggests a decline in C-suite minus 1 and 2 level appointments over the past six months, with organisations pivoting towards internal succession planning. What's driving this change? Multiple factors are at play: 🔹 Economic Headwinds Market uncertainty affecting hiring decisions Global geopolitical tensions impacting business confidence Recent mortgage rate increases (affecting candidate mobility) 🔹 Strategic Shifts Enhanced focus on succession planning Growing emphasis on diverse leadership pipelines Increased scrutiny of DE&I initiatives at senior levels Here's where it gets interesting: While organisations are strongly committed to increasing diversity in leadership (and rightly so), we're seeing some unexpected dynamics: Longer tenure among current senior leaders Reduced overall movement at top levels Heightened competition for diverse talent Evolution in succession planning strategies The Big Question: How do organisations balance these competing priorities? Building diverse leadership teams Maintaining healthy succession pipelines Ensuring fair opportunity for all qualified candidates Creating sustainable long-term leadership structures 🤔 I'm curious to hear from my network: Leaders: How are you approaching succession planning in this environment? HR Professionals: What strategies are working for maintaining both diversity and dynamism in your leadership pipeline? Senior Executives: How has the current landscape affected your career planning? 💡 Share your experiences: What innovative approaches have you seen? How is your organisation balancing these priorities? What solutions could help address these challenges? Let's have an open, constructive dialogue about creating truly inclusive leadership pipelines while maintaining organisational dynamism. ✍️ Thoughts? Experiences? Let's discuss in the comments below. #ExecutiveLeadership #SuccessionPlanning #DiversityInLeadership

Every Friday we will give you an insight of the Recruitment Process here at Football Recruitment ⚽💼. With 35 years of experience in Executive Recruitment we have designed a Selection Process tailor made for the world of Football utilising our Headhunting Experience in over 3000 executed Searches integrating world famous Neuroscience Techniques with the use of AI Tools and Big Data statistics to identify the best available and most suitable candidate on the market 🧠📊. This week we will discuss the 6th Step: Skill Assessments and Neurological Assessment 🌟 Football And Recruitment 🌟 These two words make up the name of our business. We Recruit within the Football Industry, is that simple. But we do it with a difference. We carefully select our candidates, we interview them, and we create a shortlist to present to our clients. Up to this point we are not that different from any other Recruitment Agency, but here is when it gets interesting. Once the Shortlist has been submitted we will start our Neuropsychological and Neuroscientific assessments working with Dr Timothy Royer (https://lnkd.in/dMqWq-AR - https://lnkd.in/dAQ3V22q). 🧠 Our aim is to verify candidate’s competencies using assessments including examination of lateral vision, breathing techniques, brain activity, sleep pattern and many more. These tests results will help our clients to evaluate the candidates' technical, professional, and interpersonal skills in ways that are just not possible without the use of these very advanced techniques. At the end of the process, we will also supply our clients with a written report to help them make their final recruitment choice with absolute piece of mind. The result is simple, and this is why we are different: If you use any other generalist Sports Recruitment Agency you will try your luck employing any candidate available on the market place and you will probably end up with another run of the mill soldier, but if you use Football Recruitment to select your next team to join you on the battle field, chances are that you will find yourself standing next to your very own Captain America, and this, dear followers 🏆, is why we are better than the competition, and why with us, you are never over the line!

SENIOR REWARD RECRUITMENT MARKET UPDATE • An everso slightly slower than predicted market in April and May portends an earlier pick up on the other side of summer. • Early activity in 2024 in Retail, Oil & Gas, Pharma, FinTech has clearly slowed. • Global Asset/Investment Management remains active. Carried Interest / Co-investment expertise remains highly prized. • Confidence remains high in the candidate market suggesting no need for concern, but patience required until the market reawakens. • Slight downward pressure on packages already visible and expected to remain for a while. Flexibility here vital.
