Our services
The search, selection and assessment of senior managers and professionals is a very intense and exciting project. Glasford International minimizes the risks normally involved in hiring or promoting an employee or manager. Because prior to search or assessment we take care we've got all details right. The position's level, the team composition, the scarcity of possible candidates, the competencies required, the openness in which we can operate, your direct and indirect competitors, the companies' strategy and forecasts; these are some key issues which we like to attribute to. We prefer such an approach to the trial and error method, which, unfortunately, is all too common.
Based on a thorough environment and job analysis we choose the best possible search strategy. Whether through direct search, competition search, media search, file search, database search, silent search or any multi-channel approach, our aim is to identify and present a shortlist of the best qualified candidates within a short period of time. Combined with efficient selection and assessment methods and our many years of experience, this will prove to you that the risk of recruitment can be eliminated without enormous investments.
In short, we tailor our methods to the nature of the job and the branch of trade or industry in which your company operates. We conduct complete recruitment and selection campaigns, but you can also come to us for modular, tailor-made support in any stage of the recruitment process. From start to finish we regularly update you on progress, findings and results. Throughout the entire process we prefer to service you fully transparent. So, no black box principles.

Our story
Mission
Our mission is to excel in all that we do and to provide the best executive search and assessment solutions that deliver optimum success for our clients and the finest career opportunity for our candidates. It is our focus to make our client's teams stronger and granting our candidates the opportunity to grow and excel. That is what we have been working on from 1996 on with local and global executive search projects, selection and development assessments.
Vision
According to a Swedish saying, "When the sea is calm, every boat has a good captain". 'Economic seas', however, are seldom smooth. Globalization and innovations can provide both opportunities and threats. What clients ask for today, may be different tomorrow. Your market, too, is probably fluctuating more and moving at a faster pace than it was in previous decades. In this context there's a high need for a professional consultancy in order to find, select, keep and develop the right people. It is our expertise and vision to keep on moving forward and be universally recognised as a leading international search organisation that actually does what it says.
Values
All Glasford International partners share common values that transcend cultural and international boundaries. Simply, we:
put the interests of our clients first
succeed together with our clients
are a trusted and advisory partner to candidates
strive to be proactive, innovative and forward thinking
behave in a flexible, responsive and ethical manner
provide transparency to our processes
listen and communicate quickly and openly
believe confidentiality is absolute
accept responsibility for our actions and our commitments
promote mutual respect, trust and team working throughout our partnership
develop our people and partner businesses through shared knowledge and experiences
enjoy what we do and do it well

Our approach
Why work with us?
Quality first
Glasford thinks, breathes and delivers quality. In our work we make extremely careful distinctions. Prior to search we take care we've got all details right. The position's level, the team composition, the scarcity of possible candidates, the competencies required, the openness in which we can operate, your direct and indirect competitors, the companies' strategy and forecasts; these are some key issues which we like to attribute to.
We delve down deep, far beyond the surface. So with us, it’s never just 'someone' we happen to know. After all, you do not want so-so or average, you want the best candidates in the market. Targeted, screened and tested for the right knowledge, experience and behavior. Always with guarantees included.
Experienced and committed
We are successful thanks to the many years building and maintaining a strong business network, a close business relationship with clients and candidates and a commitment with heart and soul on every new project. For the optimum results, each project is assigned to a team of (minimum) two senior consultants. That's the way a carefully chosen route can also lead to quick results. With 50 network offices and over 300 consultants in 40 countries on five continents, there is always somebody on the doorstep – to provide clients and candidates with personal advice and help people and businesses grow together.
Exclusivity
We work on exclusivity of assignment. This makes it possible to really dig into each and every project, from job definition, search, selection to the final decision on who's hired and the implementation afterwards. Just consider, your best new manager would rather be contacted and interviewed by a consultant with full knowledge of the position available then by a recruiter that might be able to introduce him to some client.
Transparency
We conduct complete recruitment and selection campaigns, but you can also come to us for modular, tailor-made support in any stage of the recruitment process. From start to finish, we regularly update you on progress, findings and results. Glasford International thus accompanies you throughout a structured process. So, no black box principles.
Short term actions, long term results
For us, it is not just about fulfilling a position. It is about creating success for our client, making teams stronger and giving amazing opportunities to candidates. So, although we are able to complete projects on a short term notice, it is all about the long term success. That is why we come back to client and candidate, evaluate progress and opportunities. In this, we provide 360-degree support and a variety of coaching and development tools to clients and candidates – because behind every assignment, there’s always a broader picture.
