EXECUTIVE SEARCH
Established 1982
OVERVIEW
Russam GMS is one of the UK’s most established and experienced
executive search fi rms, with an award-winning track record of
providing permanent senior level talent solutions to our clients.
Our search and resourcing capability is broad and deep and we are a
preferred and trusted supplier to a number of well-known organisations
across multiple sectors – this breadth enables us to source the best
candidates wherever they are.
We advise our partners on identifying and retaining outstanding and
impactful leaders at senior executive through to Board level, including
Chief Executives and NEDs, across all disciplines.
Our ApproachOur approach is based on three core beliefs:
Firstly, client and candidate care. We take the time to really understand your
organisation, strategy and culture; we work closely with your stakeholders
so the brief is clear and the search process is project-managed to ensure
all expectations are met.
Secondly, our industry knowledge enables us to search and identify a
talent pool of high quality candidates; we are rigorous in our assessment
processes so you can be assured of its quality.
Thirdly, we keep you informed about the process all the way through
and we do exactly what we say we will do at the outset. We focus on the
goal of identifying the very best talent who will make a difference to your
organisation.
Our CommitmentAs an executive search business we know that organisations expect high
standards and as such we are constantly challenging ourselves to exceed
expectations.
We are therefore always looking at innovative ways to identify the best
talent for you and to ensure that identifi cation and retention go hand-in-
hand.
We also provide data, market intelligence and benchmarking against your
competitors because we know the importance of the brief and getting it
right from the start.
We operate in a wholly honest and transparent manner and we work with
our candidates and clients in the same way – ensuring the highest quality
of service for all those involved in your executive search process. Whether
successful or not, we provide support and coaching for all candidates so
that they are able to reach their goals and objectives.
“If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings you almost don’t have to manage them. The team with the best players wins.”
Jack Welch, GE CEO 1981 - 2001
Russam GMS offers your organisation exceptional, consistent human
capital support, having provided executive search and interim management
solutions in the UK and internationally since 1982.
Our ValuesOur values are to be reliable, innovative, open and trustworthy and this is
evident in everything we do. Our experience and track record speak for
themselves because - as a business and a team - we’ve never stood still,
constantly anticipating what’s to come and delivering best value to the
people we work with.
Placing your interests fi rst – whilst delivering lasting change - has seen us
successfully expand into specialist markets and services, whilst staying
true to our core values and promises. We constantly innovate (it’s even
in our logo) which has seen us attain a wealth of credentials and awards
during our history.
Our NED CommunityRussam GMS has created a peer-2-peer meeting group for the Non
Executive Director (NED) community, designed to develop talent, and build
and support strong business leaders. Senior fi gures in industry contribute
to this critical area of market success at our regular NEDgroups, NEDtalks
and NEDdebates.
To support this community, we operate a thriving NEDsearch practice –
matching substantive talent to organisations across all sectors, from major
corporates and public sector bodies to charities and start-up businesses.
Trustees UnlimitedWe also handle senior executive roles in the non-profi t sector, through our
joint venture organisation, Trustees Unlimited.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
“If you don’t have a great workforce, you’re not going to have the next eBay
– and you will fall behind a whole new competitive context.”
Meg Whitman, Ebay CEO 1998 - 2008
ADDING VALUE
On-boardingAt Russam GMS, we want to actively help our clients and candidates achieve
their full potential because for us, the work doesn’t stop at the point of
placement – it never stops as part of our long-term working relationship.
We have therefore developed a better way to on-board executives into
your organisation. As part of our offering, every new hire is offered our
executive on-boarding programme to take them through their fi rst months.
This will involve a complete psychometric assessment and full coaching
schedule aligned to their objectives and key performance indicators.
Combined with our knowledge of business trends and the changing world
of work, this allows for a more productive, richer and seamless transition
into your organisation.
Coaching & MentoringAs the demands on senior executives increase and with more limited
timelines to deliver results, the need to align and share the challenges in a
way that accelerates success is essential.
Whether newly appointed to your organisation or transitioning to the
next level, the evidence is clear that executive coaching and mentoring, at
stages throughout an individual’s career, produces signifi cant benefi ts in
productivity, relationships and engagement.
Russam GMS is able to deliver tailored coaching and mentoring programmes
at all stages of an executives career cycle.
PsychometricsNot only do we realise how important getting the right person in the right
position is – we truly understand how to do it.
For this reason we are able to provide you with a full range of psychometric
testing that can be tailored to a particular role, team and Board dynamic.
These detailed assessment tools can give you a clear line of sight as to
a candidate’s thinking style, culture fi t, motivations and potential success
factors - assuring the best possible fi t for your organisation.
“I believe very strongly in the value of having a diverse team around me that comes from very different backgrounds and different points of view.”
Irene Rosenfeld, Kraft CEO 2006 - present
As leadership requirements evolve and change, the need to recruit
individuals with highly developed cultural awareness and the ability to work
effectively across borders becomes more important.
Whether you’re already a global business or a start-up looking at your
fi rst international market, in this increasingly competitive environment,
you need executives with a world view. It’s essential that you partner
with a search and leadership development organisation that is agile, while
thoroughly understanding your business and culture across all regions.
Working closely with our clients, we are able to provide advice, guidance
and the implementation of global resourcing strategies. Having recruited
senior executives across Europe, Asia Pacifi c and the United States, we are
able to identify key talent in any sector, discipline or jurisdiction.
INTERNATIONAL CAPABILITY

Angela Ahrendts, Burberry CEO 2006 - 2014
