A CLEAR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE ‘WAR OF TALENT’

Recruiting the right people has always been

key to successful businesses and never more

so than today. With the economic shift from

the West to the emerging markets of the

East, there is now unrivalled competition for

candidates. This ‘War of talent’ has resulted

in a volatile and unpredictable recruitment

market, which coupled with the urgency to

find successful candidates first time, means

organisations are increasingly rethinking the

way they recruit.

The next chapter in global executive search

With the consumer boom of the 1950s and the rise of

the modern corporation, companies found it increasingly

difficult to find high calibre executives. However, the

emergence of search firms readdressed the balance and

gave companies the commercial insight and innovation

they demanded to maintain an edge.

Today, with the growth of the internet,

businesses looking for recruitment services

have unprecedented choice. However few

general recruitment consultants have the

sector-specific expertise to understand the

increasing complexity of executive and board

member recruitment, or the resources and

knowledge to undertake a global search.

Fewer consultants still have the focus, drive or

acute insight of Mackenzie Stuart.

Consistently outstanding client service since 2005.

SPECIALISTS IN GLOBAL EXECUTIVE SEARCH & SELECTION SINCE 2005

Mackenzie Stuart was founded in 2005 with the sole aim of setting a new standard in

recruitment services. Today, it remains an innovative, results-driven business that prides itself

on delivering one-to-one service, accurate market insight and proven business acumen. Our

highly tailored approach to recruitment places lasting client relationships before short-term

gains and makes openness, integrity and honesty a priority. We also understand that our

reputation rests on the strength of our last placement and consider each and every position

unique – wherever in the world it may be.

A team with insider knowledge of each sector

While many companies possess general recruitment experience and create one-size-fits-all shortlists from their

existing databases, Mackenzie Stuart excels in delivering bespoke, sector-specific services and expertise.

We apply this in-depth knowledge in recruiting our own people, and hand-pick the leading graduates from across

the UK. They then embark upon an intensive training programme monitored by Senior Managers, which equips each

consultant with an in-depth understanding of individual sectors.

This single-minded approach allows us to quickly grasp the requirements of complex roles and consistently select

candidates of the highest calibre.

One-to-one service, accurate market insight & proven business acumen.

THE ART OF SEARCH & SELECTION

From mid to senior appointments and vacancies that require unique skills or experience, to

recruiting individuals from specific business functions, companies or markets, we provide a

suite of specialist services.

In each instance, personal expertise is key. Although we bring our clients the benefits of

the latest technology, we never overlook the importance of individual experience and the

advantages our inside knowledge of the market, sector and role can deliver.

Bespoke Executive Search

As a business nothing is more important to us than

our clients and working on a retained basis allows

us to deliver a truly personal search experience.

We start with a detailed client brief to define the key

parameters and take time to listen and understand

your role requirements. This enables us to define

the position and candidate specification and gauge

experience, qualifications and competencies.

We next undertake targeted research to identify

the best people and take independent views

and opinions to outline their experience and

qualifications. Finally, we personally undertake

rigorous, competency-based interviews, and once an

offer has been made, assist with negotiations.

For extra peace of mind, we also ensure the success

of the hire by assisting the integration of the

individual into the organisation. This level of detail

and scrutiny guarantees the best possible outcome

and candidates that feel like trusted members of

the team from the very first day.

World-class contingency search

Our contingency recruitment service provides our

clients with access to a unique global database

of job seekers. Candidates come to us because of

our presence within the industry and regular on

and offline advertising attracts some of the most

highly-qualified individuals. In addition, high

quality individuals are keen to work with us, to find

a career move that meets with their qualifications,

experience and aspirations.

At the beginning of our relationship we listen to

your requirements, then create a shortlist of suitable

candidates and present them to you for interview

and selection. All candidates are then interviewed

and fully reference-checked by Mackenzie Stuart.

Forward – thinking PSL Recruitment

Our PSL Recruitment service offers the skills and

experience of a dedicated individual or team to
