Private Sector

The whole private sector has changed immeasurably over the last few years as organisations increasingly globalise, the distinction between private and public sectors become blurred, and the focus on outsourcing, commissioning and global collaboration grow. As a retained search firm, Rockpools works with many leading corporates and professional services businesses across a broad range of industries. Our business comes from multi-national clients and those located in particular geographies, demonstrating our ability to develop long term strategic partnerships with them by delivering high quality services and understanding their needs and organisational culture. Our international clients include Arvato Services (part of Bertelsmann), BBC, BP, Bull Information Solutions, Dangote Group, Detica, Ernst & Young, Northgate Public Services, Tiger Global.

As consultants experienced in recruitment to a variety of roles, Rockpools is well positioned to assist clients with senior hiring across a range of functional areas, geographies, and challenging market sectors. The talent for some of these difficult hires may not be found in one sector, indeed not even in the one country or continent, our role is to identify and assess individuals who best fit the client’s profile.

Our areas of expertise includes:
FTSE 250 companies requiring general management, commercial, and operations professionals. We have a proven pedigree of hiring high caliber individuals who have a strong affinity to your business requirement and a track record of delivery.

Private sector organisations which trade or engage with the public sector. As the boundaries between public and private sector become blurred we are increasingly seeing a demand for professionals who have the experience of working on the cusp. We have vast experience recruiting people who can work effectively with the public sector in relation to business development, tendering, service or product delivery and joint venturing.

Government organisations wishing to bring in private sector experience. Increasingly, public sector bodies are looking for experience and skills drawn from the private sector yet still want people who are sensitive to their organisational culture and socially-driven business drivers. Whether those roles are in general management, HR, procurement, strategy and policy or finance, we are well placed to help organisations in attracting appropriate candidates.
