executive search

What we do

We offer clients both executive search counsel and expertise across the following disciplines:

Corporate communications/Affairs Internal & change communications
Investor relations Corporate responsibility & sustainability
Public affairs/External affairs Corporate & financial public relations
Digital Communications Government relations & political risk

Day in and day out, we are identifying, meeting, tracking and screening senior practitioners (and others with transferable skills who want to move into these disciplines). Our understanding of where best practice is implemented also enables us to provide valuable insight when it comes to identifying candidates and knowing where to focus a search. As a result we start every search with a level of candidate intelligence and discipline understanding that few others can match.

The depth of our expertise and knowledge also gives us the authority to advise and challenge our clients rather than simply to provide a transactional response to their search mandates.

I very much value the service, insight and unstinting support I get from Watson Helsby – they are always incredibly thorough and I have been very pleased with the hires I have made through them
