Our approach

Radiant works closely with a small number of executive search firms to help them with their hiring needs. We work on a retained basis and pride ourselves on giving the firms we partner with the same level and quality of service that they give their clients.

We’re not like traditional rec2rec firms. At Radiant, we take a different path:

We have in-depth knowledge of the sectors and markets we cover

Not only do we have strong networks and relationships across search, Radiant carries out in-depth research for each assignment to identify the best potential candidates for any specific role.

We’re client and candidate-centric

We provide a high-touch, excellent service to clients and candidates alike. Our focus is on meeting our clients’ needs – and making the right placement, not just any placement.

We solve the tricky searches

If finding and securing the right people were quick and easy, you’d probably do it yourself! A core part of our identity is tenacity: we’ll work on a mandate until the role is filled.

Messaging to prospective candidates

We craft clear, honest messaging that reflects your values and culture. We know how to differentiate your business from the competition. Our goal is to represent your brand as well as you would (and maybe even better).

We act with honesty and transparency

We want to do the right thing by anyone we work with – be that colleagues, clients or candidates.

“I knew Nick when he worked at my previous search firm, Korn Ferry, and I was delighted to learn that he would be supporting me in finding a new Associate for RRA’s Insurance Practice. He understands search extremely well and took the time to really get underneath our brief. His assessment of fit was extremely good, as was his ability to persuasively sell the opportunity in a competitive market. He was proactive, showed us some great candidates and helped us to make a super hire. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”

“Nick and Radiant are the best executive search team I have ever worked with. His market insight, deep understanding of talent and long term, trusted client relationships mean he is uniquely positioned to match the right people to the right opportunities at just the right time. As a candidate, Nick aligned me with a company and role that was the perfect fit for me and helped set both sides up for success each step of the way. A highly professional team that puts quality and integrity at the heart of their process. I would work with Radiant again in a heartbeat.”

“I've worked with Nick as a client several times and cannot recommend him highly enough. Nick and the team at Radiant work very hard to understand the culture of the search firm they're working with... and this really shines through in how they package up the market insight they generate, and the advice they give around candidates of all levels. They are adept at working with loosely defined specifications and giving a comprehensive market view while also helping us convert the right candidates. Most importantly, and in my view this is the secret sauce of great search/recruitment services, it is enjoyable working with Nick and the team. As a result, I am a repeat client and plan to continue this!”

“Nick is the best in the business. I have worked incredibly closely with him as both a client and candidate and in both cases he has stood out through his integrity, wise counsel and dogged determination. He knows the Executive search market better than anyone and he has always been a true pleasure to work with.”

“Isobel ran the search for my current role at Boyden which was focused on leadership consulting. She was exceptionally professional and great to work with throughout the process, from start to finish. She kept me informed at all stages and kept things moving despite obstacles along the way. I would definitely work with Isobel again as a client and candidate.”
