Risorius Search
Specialists in senior and leadership recruitment for the Professional Services sector.
Services
Professional Services firms need first rate business support functions in order to perform at their best. Here at Risorius Search we partner with firms to find them top talent across all their business support areas, offering a range of bespoke recruitment solutions that include:
Executive Search
A bespoke service for any senior hires that are confidential, time-sensitive or high priority. An Executive Search provides clearly agreed timescales, an enhanced level of data and insight on the target candidate market, and a rigorous process with consistent messaging and extensive candidate profiling and competency notes.
Competency Interviewing
Exclusive Contingent
Using competency interviewing techniques as part of the shortlisting and assessment process is an invaluable way to measure candidates, not only against each other, but also against a clearly structured and pre-agreed set of competency framework questions. This gives consistency throughout the interviews and allows for decisions and feedback to be made based on evidence and performance against set criteria.
Where a full Executive Search may not be appropriate, an Exclusive Contingent arrangement is the best way to ensure a 'one voice' consistency of messaging and process throughout the hiring project and avoid the confusion and delays that a multi-agency process can create. Payment is only taken upon completion of the project, with no up-front fees to charge.
Market Mapping
Fixed-Term Contract & Interim Solutions
Salary Benchmarking
Mapping a market before going live on a key hiring project gives you all the data and insight you need to identify where the best candidates are, what the particular challenges may be in recruiting that skillset in a particular location, and what you need to pay in order to secure the best person for your company.
Whether it's an interim hire to bridge a gap before a new permanent employee starts, or a FTC to cover maternity or extended absence, Risorius Search has the networks to move quickly and effectively to cover any immediate or short-term hiring needs.
You only get one chance to launch a new role into the market, so it has to be pitched correctly. With over 20 years' experience hiring into Professional Services firms, Risorius Search is perfectly placed to advise on competitive salaries and packages.

Our Values
Positivity
The recruitment process doesn’t have to be a stressful one. Maintaining a positive mindset throughout and having a trusted partner on your side is critical when it comes to making those big decisions with confidence.
Authenticity
​Recruitment is all about people being introduced to people, and we are the people in the middle of all the people who know the people we are introducing the other people to. That’s a lot of people! So, if you can’t be your true self with them all, then how can you build real and long-term trust and credibility?
Simplicity
​We believe the best recruitment processes are predicated on two simple principles: people need the required skills to do the job, and people need to want to work together. By getting to know our clients and candidates on a deeper level, we ensure those principles are met with every project we deliver.
