Executive Search Practice
Percival are building a skilled approach to our discovery led search process that has proven to expand beyond traditional networks and bring through diverse passive and active talent. We leverage the latest technology and systems to scope out only the top talent in the sector, including the highest access LinkedIn Recruiter tools, multisite role advertising, network mapping, the latest CRM on the market, to name a few.
With our expert recruitment team, led by our Recruitment Director, we work with our not-for-profit and for purpose partners to understand and discover the key business needs before designing a process best suited to finding the most talented candidates on the market. We have built a strong track record with small to large organisations and across a range disciplines, demonstrating our ability to flex our approach to fit a position and an organisation’s needs.

CASE STUDIES
Chief Operating Officer at Apasen
Apasen are a £12 million a year turnover at home care and respite centre charity that operates across London and the wider south east.
They got in touch as they needed search support for a Chief Operating Officer role that has been created just before the pandemic but had gone unfilled and remained vacant.
Through a period of discovery, we met with the Chief Executive, members of the trustee board and the senior leadership team to ensure we created a picture of the ideal candidate, but also the organisations business need. We designed the recruitment process and pack as part of the service, produced the advert copy and worked with the Chief Executive to ensure the role had good visibility.
From the follow up discovery meeting to the appointment of a candidate, who had previously been a Deputy Chief Executive at a similar organisation operating in a similar location, the process took seven weeks. We met with the Chief Executive and the trustee board several times through the process, met with over 25 candidates, used LinkedIn, our network and CRM to reach out to over 200 qualified candidates, and ensured that we encourage candidates from hard-to-reach backgrounds to apply.
