Growth and Exit Strategies
Most c-suites are looking to do one of three things; grow their company, work towards an exit plan, or both
Talent is attracted to join a growth organisation because they see the potential for their role to grow. But knowing you plan to exit can make them nervous
We help you attract and hire talent for every eventuality and can help you manage expectations so your people are onboard with the bigger plan
Growth
There are times when – all being well – you will experience excessive growth. Finding the right talent in time to leverage market conditions and the fair wind of increased turnover can be the difference between success and almost there
We partner with you early enough to be able to predict some of the curves and pre-plan your hiring needs… and when it is less expected we are able to deploy extra members of our team to focus solely on acquiring your new people
We take your success as seriously as we take our own. We know how important it is to be able to hire in a timely manner to hit business objectives. As trained headhunters we have skills and abilities to reach talent others may never see (ie people not on LinkedIn!). We also know how to position you to be attractive so you can cherry pick from the top of the tree. As Steve Jobs quite rightly said:
I noticed that the dynamic range between what an average person could accomplish and what the best person could accomplish was 50 or 100 to 1. Given that, you’re well advised to go after the cream of the cream. A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players
Exit Strategies
When your current team, or new hires, know you’re planning to exit they get understandably nervous. The key question they need you to be able to answer is:
How will my job be affected?
If you can answer this question in a coherent way that suggests full disclosure you can typically get your current team – and even new hires – behind you. The problems only come when you make the announcement to your new talent as they walk through the door on their first day
Utilising our HR solution we can help you manage your people through your exit plans and ensure they are fully onboard with your strategy
