Our headhunting services provide access to the widest talent pool, including approaching passive candidates who may not be actively seeking new MD and CEO opportunities.

Part-time and interim CEO and MD roles are an affordable way to build your company’s leadership team. These more flexible executives can fill your company’s skills gap, or a part-time role provides the opportunity to trial-run a candidate before transitioning them to a permanent, full-time position. These executives can be hired on an interim or project-by-project basis.

We’re seeing a sharp rise in the number of executives working on a part-time basis, on contracts that range from 8 hours to 4 days a week. Part-time recruitment means appointing an MD or CEO is more affordable and accessible than ever before. A part-time hire also removes additional recruitment expenses, including relocation, training, and equipment costs.

Outsourcing your executive recruitment is the most affordable and time-effective option for most companies. Conducting your recruitment internally can be expensive and time-consuming, particularly for SMEs and scaling companies with a smaller workforce and leadership team. The average internal recruitment process takes 30 days, during which time the employees involved in the hiring process become less productive due to the increased workload.

Working with an agency like FD Capital provides a clear framework for hiring a CEO or MD. We start by establishing a job description and candidate profile to determine exactly what your company needs from a CEO or MD. Executive candidates are increasingly coming from a more diverse range of backgrounds, including from non-financial sectors, providing a fresh perspective for companies. Developing a candidate profile allows you to focus on the transferable and soft skills your ideal CEO or MD should have.

Working with an executive search agency enables your company to outsource the heavy administrative workload, freeing up your time to focus on day-to-day responsibilities. Your company will still be actively involved in the hiring process without the stress of screening candidates, chasing references, or conducting interviews. Our recruitment team can shortlist candidates within a limited period for time-sensitive positions.

Exec Capital specialises in part-time, interim, and fractional recruitment for executive and C-suite roles. Part-time executives, including CEOs and MDs, can be recruited on a project-by-project basis or in a long-term role, providing scalability to the role in line with company growth.
