International Reach
Because geography is no barrier when it comes to today’s executive search, Howgate Sable has worked hard to develop its international reach.
As a founder member of the European Executive Search Network (EESN), we have successfully extended our overseas recruitment capabilities to identify, attract and present to clients the very best in Europe’s management talent bank.
We are the only UK member of EESN, which has offices in every major European city, is present in 20 countries across Europe, and also has alliance partners in Brazil and in China. The Network was recently ranked Number One in the European League Table, and equal Sixth in the Top 20 Global Ranking, by the independent and highly respected Search Consult survey.
Most ambitious firms are at ease working on a worldwide scale – and happy to throw their net worldwide for the right candidate. At the same time companies are increasingly refining their criteria for new senior personnel, demanding ever greater sector-specific expertise.
So the searches we carry out are venturing further and further afield, and becoming increasingly specialist. Internet technology, our global contacts, and membership of EESN, mean we can identify, locate, find and recruit candidates in the furthest corners of the Globe.
Recent Assignments
2007 saw the completion of our first assignment in Australia for American firm JLG, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of powered aerial access platforms.
The Maryland-based firm, with an annual turnover of $2.5 billion, asked us to find a new Managing Director for the company’s Australia and New Zealand subsidiary, which is headquartered in Sydney.
Another major recent assignment was the pan-European search for a new Group Taxation Director for the Athens-based Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC), which operates across 28 countries and employs around 45,000 people globally.
The successful candidate, appointed just eight weeks after we were given our initial instructions, was a Dutch national who had been working in Switzerland for a multinational corporation.
