Professional Services Executive Search Recruitment

Candidates ready to help power and transform your business from day one.

Introduction

The Professional Services sector is a knowledge-based industry where businesses are made and broken on the calibre of their workforce.

Whether your organisation advises on mergers and acquisitions, business transformation, audits or accounts, or legal and regulatory environments, it’s essential to put in place individuals with the required knowledge and expertise to deliver that advice.

Spencer Riley work with Professional Services clients across the globe to seek out, recruit and retain the highest calibre of clients, and to provide maximum return on investment for executive recruitment campaigns in this competitive and challenging sector.

An example of some of the Professional Services roles we can recruit into:

  • Accounting
  • Audit
  • BPO/Business Transformation
  • Corporate Finance/M&A
  • Risk disciplines
  • Tax
  • Transaction Services
  • Transfer Pricing
  • Valuations

In addition to these, we can recruit into niches throughout the Professional Services industry. We are committed to finding the most capable candidates via our executive search and 'headhunting' services, to fill senior-level vacancies ranging from consultant and managerial roles right up to C-suite and directorships.

Executive Search for Professional Services

More than most disciplines, Professional Services is all about the individual: their experience and expertise, their qualifications and accreditations, and in many cases their enthusiasm and alignment with your company culture.

Get all of these right in your Professional Services recruitment campaign and you can benefit from a new appointment who represents your company and your brand in the most positive light, and whose high job satisfaction means they stay with you for longer.

At the same time, high-quality candidates are even more important in regulated industries, where you need to be able to trust senior-level individuals to do their job with good autonomy, while complying with all of the rules and regulations of your sector.

Find the ideal candidate

Professional Services Recruitment in a Competitive Climate

This relatively heavy focus on the individual, from contract and interim executive roles through to boardroom positions, means there are high levels of competition within Professional Services recruitment, especially for candidates with strong track records.

Our data-driven approach to executive search and recruitment means you will always receive a shortlist of pre-screened candidates who are a strong match for the role (or roles) you are trying to fill, complete with details of any background checks required to ensure they are able to work in your industry.

About Our Clients

Spencer Riley's client base spans the global Professional Services sector, with fast-growing service providers, national and multinational leading brands. We are committed to finding the best talent no matter if you have one vacancy to fill, or an ongoing talent pipeline to supply.
