Executive Search for Professional Services

At a global level, the professional services sector is a rapidly expanding sector that drives any country’s economic growth, as well as increases the demand for specialized services. This sector includes diverse industries such as consulting, accounting, architecture and legal services.

Professional Services

A professional service is a kind of expertise offered by a specialist or a company to help a customer handle a particular part of their business.

Professional service providers are specialized in specific areas, which allows customers to concentrate on their core business challenges. Unlike a consultant who might offer guidance alone, a professional service provider can take responsibility for achieving the desired results as well.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an accelerated inflection point and companies are in need of all kinds of professional specialized services.

Case Study of Executive Search

CEO for an Underperforming Region (APAC) within a PE-Backed Company

Diagnosis of situation: A Consulting company needs to rearrange its organizational chart. Sales have skyrocketed over the past 5 months and the team is overwhelmed.

New approaches, redefinition of internal structure and tasks as well as new incorporations are needed to be able to cover and control all the activity that is being generated and take advantage of the momentum.

Implementation: We have carried out a study of the current organizational chart, which is indeed out of date, both in the number of workers and how they are organized, bearing in mind the results the company is achieving. Two new possible structures are proposed as well as the creation of two new teams (a formal HR department among them, which the company did not have) and 3 candidates are presented to fill the positions of functional leaders (COO and CHRO) and head of project management.

Results: This restructuring, firstly, allowed employee satisfaction to increase remarkably in the first-year climate survey mainly due to vacancies being filled and a defined learning and development plan for all employees. The incoming COO and CEO planned an increase of 15 % in sales within the next year.
