Appointing experienced leaders who can shape strategy and drive performance is essential.
Executive Search
Finding exceptional leaders takes more than posting a job advert. An executive search firm takes a proactive, relationship-led approach to identifying and engaging senior talent before they even think about making a move. It’s built for C-suite recruitment and board-level hires, where discretion, cultural fit and long-term impact are key. At Rullion, this executive search service is led by Asif Salam, Practice Director of Executive Search. Asif works directly with CEOs and board members across the UK and mainland Europe to understand what’s coming next and shape a tailored search. Whether you're hiring a permanent executive or exploring a fractional executive search model, we focus on finding the right person – not just the first available.
Who is Executive Search for?
Executive Search could be the right fit if:
Hiring into the C-Suite is on the horizon
Discretion is non-negotiable
Leadership transitions need to be handled with care and confidentiality.
Access to passive talent is a priority
The best candidates aren’t always actively looking—but they’re open to the right opportunity.
A more tailored, strategic approach is needed
For high-impact roles, a search partner who understands your long-term goals can add real value.
Fractional leadership is under consideration
Senior expertise is needed, without adding a full-time headcount. Our network includes experienced fractional CEOs, CFOs, CPOs, CISO, CTO and more.
