Private Sector

Rockpools has a proven pedigree of sourcing board-level directors for international organisations across a range of specialisms

The whole private sector has changed immeasurably over the last few years as organisations increasingly need to focus, for example, on a range of business change management and regulatory issues.

As a retained executive search firm, Rockpools works with many leading corporates and professional services businesses across a broad range of industries. A third of our business is from existing multi-national clients, demonstrating our ability to develop long term strategic partnerships with them by delivering high quality services and understanding their needs and organisational culture. Some of our clients are international household names. Our clients include BBC, Royal Mail, BP, Ernst & Young, Easy Group, Arvato Services, Bull, BPP, Pinnacle, First London Buses, the Chime Group, Hill & Knowlton Ltd, Imagination and the Vitec Group plc.

As consultants experienced in executive recruitment to a variety of roles, Rockpools is well positioned to assist clients with senior hiring across a range of functional areas 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 include:

FTSE 250 companies requiring general management, commercial, and operations professionals. We have a proven pedigree of hiring high calibre 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.

We also offer a range of tailor-made services to meet your leadership needs, including talent solutions, leadership development and team building.
