WHEN IT'S TOO IMPORTANT TO NOT GET RIGHT.

FIRST TIME.

SHARED DESTINY.

It can’t be overstated how important it is to source effective leadership. Organisational success relies upon leaders who can devise, develop and execute against a vision and associated strategies.

Our executive search capability is designed to partner with you to identify, engage and on-board inspirational individuals for those roles where it’s too important not to get right. First time.

I set Macildowie a tough challenge - needing a high calibre individual with a unique set of skills, in tight timescales, to help our rapidly-growing business and they delivered.
- Geoff Love, CEO - Commify

What We Do.

We are proud to be one of very few agencies to have an executive search function based in the Midlands with a sole geographical focus on the Midlands. Why is that important in your decision making process?

1. We know the local economy, we’ve been helping customers here for the last 25 years - we will know where your next critical hire works.
2. Whilst we will consider candidates looking to relocate, the risk associated with candidates needing to move is exponentially higher than those in the Midlands and surrounds.

Our vetting process is extremely robust. We utilise a multi-layered vetting methodology that matches your requirements against sector, technical, behavioural and motivational fit. This multi-faceted approach will be tailored to your requirements and is a tried and tested way to identify, engage and on-board the very best talent for you.

Interim Support.

Sometimes you need to look outside of your organisation for niche skills, fresh perspective or simply greater capability. Whether it is change management, project delivery, ramp up for investment, acute problem solving, market exploitation or any other reason for hiring extra firepower, our networks are incredibly strong when it comes to securing such talent.

  • We wanted to say thank you for finding our new CEO. I am really excited about the future or our business and am also looking forward to not always being at the helm! You have been a pleasure to work with on this appointment
    - Margaret Mason OBE, Founder/CEO Children 1st Nurseries
  • We have had a great experience with Macildowie. I would strongly recommend anyone making a similar Director level appointment to try them!
    - HR Lead, Health Services Company
  • 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, Co-Founder, Chaiiwala
  • 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.
    - HR Lead, Health Services Company
  • Jo is very focussed and has an extensive candidate knowledge. I was delighted with the high quality candidates she found and she successfully filled both roles. I would recommend Jo and will certainly use her in the future.
    - Director of Finance
  • 'Macildowie kept in contact with me throughout the process of recruitment so I knew what was happening. Providing excellent interview guidance, notes and preparation, which I found very useful, they also gave me feedback after every stage. I was fortunate enough to be selected for the position and they have made sure that everything was OK and kept in contact. I would more than happily recommend Macildowie.'
    - Julie, Candidate - HR Director
  • I set Macildowie a tough challenge - needing a high calibre individual with a unique set of skills, in tight timescales, to help our rapidly-growing business and they delivered.
    - Geoff Love, CEO - Commify
  • 'The team at Macildowie took time and made the effort to really understand what our needs when we were recruiting for our FD. It was a nice change to have candidates appropriate to our requirements rather than simply the job title. From the top down, the Mac’s ethos of a greater understanding of the business needs makes recruiting so much easier.'
    - Carl Gamble, Managing Director - The SAA
