Case Study
Michael Page Executive Search was retained by one of the world’s leading PC manufacturers to recruit a Vice President UK & Ireland, responsible for accelerating expansion in this region and growing market share against more established competitors.
Given the confidential nature of the assignment and the specific experience required, the brief was clear from our client, ‘Put in front of us the top people from our competitors’, and that we did. The shortlist consisted of the number one person from each of their Top 5 competitors for interview by their EMEA President, described by the client as an outstanding hit rate.
We backed the process up with several other senior candidates from other industries and from further down the target organisations to ensure our client had a broad selection of qualified talent from which to choose their preferred candidate. Following the success of the search, we are now the senior recruitment partner across all functions for our clients’ EMEA organisation.
Testimonials
“We asked Michael Page to do what we always ask executive search firms to do: "Put in front of us the top people from our competitors." We normally get to see one, are told that a couple of others were not interested. And maybe one or two could not be contacted. You provided us with the number one person from each of our top 5 competitors for interview by our EMEA President. This was an outstanding hit rate. You backed it up with several other senior candidates - from other industries and from further down the target organisation - to ensure we had a fantastic choice to pick from.”
