On May 31st 2017 the company completed a Management Buy Out (MBO) in partnership with Beechbrook Capital. In addition to providing an injection of capital into the firm, this has also created opportunities for the next generation of leaders to step up; there has been a very successful progression of several team members from delivery into revenue generation roles. Whilst this has had a positive impact on the top line of the business, it has also meant that there are fewer delivery resources available.
As a result, Wilton & Bain have identified a clear requirement to appoint an Associate to play an integral role in the delivery of complex and strategically important search mandates.
Role Description • Support delivery of Executive Search mandates on roles ranging from £150k - £500k+ in size, working with a diverse project team.
• Participation in the execution of research, setting search strategy, market mapping, initial candidate approaches, candidate interviews and assessment, documentation and shortlist presentation.
• Become an integral member of the team and become crucial to the collegiate and collaborative culture.
• Able to manage a demanding search load and balance multiple projects, whilst maintaining concentration on priorities and targets.
• Innovative and resourceful in finding solutions, often in tight timeframes and under pressure.
• Strong analytical and writing skills. Is able to produce professional client documentation with a clear focus on quality, content, and client-value.
• Comfortable and competent using technology as an enabler to delivering Executive Search services.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with ability to influence and lead. Is personable and confident enough to build strong relationships with candidates, clients and colleagues.
• Focus on team achievement, not just individual ones. Willingness to have fun and celebrate success - we are a playful culture with a serious intent.
• Highly ambitious and career-motivated: dedication to growth and improvement in a continuously evolving industry.
