Executive Search

leadHR provides executive search for senior People and Culture appointments in organisations that run an in-house People and Culture function.

  • Appointments span Chief People Officers, People and Culture Directors, Heads of, Talent Acquisition Leaders, Centre of Excellence specialists and HR Business Partners.
  • Candidates reach the shortlist by direct approach rather than advertising or a database, and are assessed on capability and judgement rather than age, tenure or pedigree.
