Operational leadership
Operations Directors, Manufacturing Directors, Plant Managers and Site Leaders responsible for delivery, people and performance.
A dedicated search for the people your business needs — including those who are not actively looking.
For a business-critical hire, relying solely on applications can limit the field. Our retained approach begins with the requirement and then searches the market systematically.
We identify relevant businesses, map potential talent, approach individuals discreetly and assess their experience against the outcomes you need.
Throughout the assignment, we provide a clear process and meaningful feedback from the market.
Some vacancies can be filled effectively through conventional recruitment. Others need deeper research, sustained engagement and a shared commitment to the process.
A defined brief and agreed approach allow focused time and resources to be invested in the assignment.
Targeted market mapping and direct approaches bring suitable professionals into consideration, whether or not they are actively looking.
Progress, candidate feedback and emerging market realities are discussed throughout, not only when a shortlist is ready.
We work alongside your decision-makers and internal team to manage the process from briefing through appointment.
Our UK-wide retained searches are designed around the outcomes a business needs, not simply a job title.
Operations Directors, Manufacturing Directors, Plant Managers and Site Leaders responsible for delivery, people and performance.
Engineering Directors, Technical Directors and senior engineering managers leading complex technical teams and programmes.
Programme Directors, supply chain leaders and scarce technical specialists where the available candidate market may be limited.
We agree the brief and candidate proposition, research relevant organisations, approach suitable people directly and assess their fit against the business requirement.
Alongside a carefully assessed shortlist, employers benefit from informed conversations about salary expectations, market perception and potential barriers to appointment.
Based in Worcestershire, Arqentis supports engineering and manufacturing employers throughout the UK, including the West Midlands.
Let's discuss the challenge and whether a search-led approach can help.
