Executive Search
The Process
Specification
We work closely with our clients at the outset of an assignment to really understand the role we are hiring for so that we are able to formulate a job description and ideal candidate specification that we can utilise to benchmark executives against throughout the process.
Research
Our research is split into two parts, the office-based component involves researching the internet to explore employer websites, conference delegate listings, LinkedIn, as well as utilising our extensive in-house database. The second component is field-based research and involves meeting with our network of long-established market contacts gaining their unique insights on the top performing executives in a specific arena.
Client collaboration
updates coupled with briefing and debriefing calls throughout the process, ensuring we keep all parties informed of developments.
Closure
This is where we work closely with the preferred candidate during their resignation process ensuring that any counter-offer is rejected. Once this is achieved, we stay in regular contact with the appointed executive until they start their new role.

Testimonial
“I am very impressed with Meridian Human Capital’s career management service, they utilized a focused approach and arranged five interviews quite quickly, resulting in two companies who wanted to offer me a new job. They were able to identify job opportunities for me within a targeted list of companies where seemingly no obvious opening existed, despite me having asked market contacts in those very firms. I really appreciated the effort, consistent support and the advice given to me throughout the process. I would highly recommend this service, especially in the London Market where the need for confidentiality is paramount. “
Corporate Introductions
For Sellers
If the time has arrived to sell your business, refinance existing obligations, release some cash or obtain further investment for business development, then Meridian Human Capital can introduce you to suitably qualified and interested buyers with available funds at their disposal. The process will involve producing a marketing presentation summarising your business and then making discreet introductions on your behalf with our panel of acquisitive broking groups.
For Buyers
We will undertake research utilising our market intelligence database and extensive contact network to identify a business that represents a suitable acquisition target, one which will enhance your product offering and distribution.
For both buy-side and sell-side, we act as management consultants where our role covers:-
- Research
- Introductions
- Preparation of marketing documents
- Briefing/debriefing
- Liaison
- Negotiation
Example
A UK based MGA operating internationally looking to grow revenue in new lines of business in Continental Europe especially in the emerging markets required a unit underwriting niche products for SMEs. After looking at potential hires for 6 months they settled on buying an owner managed MGA with five personnel. Although this was a more complex process and took a further nine months to complete it resulted in our client having a ready-made licenced business in the territory with an established team and market presence from which to build. The MGA owners obtained much needed development capital and enhanced distribution for their products.
