Management Recruitment

Looking beyond the CV.

A manager helps shape the direction of a team, a department or an entire organisation. The impact of that decision is significant. That calls for a recruitment consultant who understands the difference between someone with the right experience and someone with the right fit.

Luke specialises in management recruitment. For over fifteen years, we have been finding managers who not only fulfil the role, but who also fit the culture, the team and the ambitions of your organisation.

What is management recruitment?

Management recruitment is the specialist process of attracting and selecting candidates for leadership options from team leader to director. These are roles that carry direct responsibility for people, results or strategy.

The candidate market is smaller, and fewer professionals are actively looking.
Selection criteria go beyond professional expertise: leadership style, decisiveness and cultural fit are equally important.
A poor fit at management level has greater impact on the organisation than at operational level.
The process demands active search, not advertising alone.
