Case Study: Executive Search – A New CTO

Recruiting for a senior executive with strategic vision…

The Client

A multi-national Pay-TV broadcaster with channels in over 50 countries.

The Terms

Recruiting in competition with other agencies.

The Brief

To recruit a Chief Technical Officer with strategic vision and the ability to lead future technology developments.

Our Approach

Given the nature of this very senior, critical position, our search was highly targeted and direct.

Having built close relationships with executive level staff in the broadcast sector over the years, our consultants worked as a team, pooling our collective knowledge and shared network of contacts to identify prospective candidates fitting the bill.

Through deep searching, active head hunting and referrals, we presented a selection of 10 short-listed profiles to the client for consideration.

The Outcome

We successfully filled the CTO vacancy within a 2-month timeframe.  Our performance and reliability led to further recruitment engagement and placements across the company’s other business areas.
