What do you do?

I recruit any Director, C-Suite or Non-Executive roles.  I do this specifically for private sector customers. I have facilitated the successful introductions of CFOs, CEOs, CHRO/CPOs, COOs, CMOs, CSOs, CROs, CIOs, General Counsels (and their Director equivalent roles) to businesses of all sizes and ownership models.

What are you known for?

I’m me.  And guess what… you are you.  Let’s meet and decide if we can work together.  I can’t be any more authentic than that.   

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Ever written something over and over but kept deleting because if makes you cringe? That’s me right now. How about this - if we meet, I’ll let you into my wider world (if you want me to that is)!

🍹 Go-to Drink

Water. It’s just that I might add things to it depending on context, like coffee, tea or an appropriate ratio of good whisky.

🎧 Office Soundtrack

I’m an incredibly gifted air drummer and guitarist, so for productivities sake, I tend to work without a soundtrack.

🏖️ Out-of-office Vibe

Appreciating all that Mother Nature has created such as mountains and birds. Especially birds that live on mountains.

🦸 Superpower

Appreciating the magic of diversity.

People love Richard Haaker

"Due to our rapid UK and international expansion plans we urgently needed a Franchise Director who could help deliver against those plans.  Macildowie Executive Search found, engaged with and secured a number of candidates for us to meet, out of which one was the perfect candidate.  This was all delivered by Macildowie against very niche search criteria and tight timeline."
Muhummed Ibrahim, Chaiiwala Co-Founder
"We needed a Director with a very specialist set of skills and experience at very short notice. We decided to work with Macildowie thanks to a personal recommendation. Macildowie’s service was excellent – very responsive. They understood, quickly, exactly what we needed and provided three candidates in a very short turnaround time. We had two very strong contenders, one of whom we offered and is doing a fantastic job. The speed of response and quality of match to our requirements was what surprised me the most. We have had a great experience with Macildowie. I would strongly recommend anyone making a similar Director level appointment to try them!"
