EXECUTIVE SEARCH
LEADERSHIP TEAM BUILDOUTS
High Impact Hires at Pace and Scale
We support companies during phases of rapid growth, market expansion or organisational change by delivering senior leadership teams quickly and effectively.
This service is built for moments when time is short, stakes are high, and multiple roles must be filled by people who can hit the ground running and shape the business around them.
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Cohesive Leadership Teams for Demanding Growth Phases
Rather than hiring individuals in isolation, we build out leadership cohorts designed to function as a unit. These projects often involve a combination of executive and functional leadership roles brought in to establish capability, structure and momentum. We work closely with founders, CEOs and investors to understand what the business needs across the team, not just within each role. This service is typically used during:
Commercial scale-ups following investment
Entry into new markets or regions
New business launches inside larger groups
Post-merger integration or leadership restructuring
Over 60% of our multi-hire clients return within 12 months for additional senior appointments.
HOW WE WORK
Structured Search with Cohesion Built In
We apply the same rigour as we do in single search mandates, but with the additional complexity of aligning multiple hires across function, style and trajectory. Our process is fast, controlled and built around clear communication. Our approach includes:
A defined team buildout brief based on business priorities and current gaps
Close coordination between hiring timelines to preserve momentum
Candidate benchmarking across each role to maintain consistency
Ongoing advisory support to ensure team dynamic is considered, not just individual fit
WHY NICHOLAS ALEXANDER
Sector Knowledge and Hiring Clarity That Saves Time
We understand the commercial pressure that sits behind a multi-hire search. You need strong leaders who can deliver early and build for later without holding up the rest of the business. Our experience means we can act quickly and still maintain a high standard of evaluation and presentation. Clients choose us for:
Complete functional coverage: Search experience across all key leadership roles; commercial, digital, operations, finance, people, and more.
Multi-role delivery expertise: A proven approach for managing several appointments at once, without diluting quality or attention.
Commercial and organisational insight: Clear thinking and senior judgment at every stage, from brief to offer.
Real relationships with top talent: Trusted by senior candidates who take our calls, engage quickly and move decisively.
