Attract the leaders who can move your business forward

Senior appointments can shape the direction, performance and culture of an organisation. KESS specialises in attracting experienced leaders for business-critical roles, from key heads of department and senior specialists to directors and C-suite executives.

We take a focused, proactive approach, looking beyond active applicants to identify and engage high-calibre candidates who may not be openly seeking their next opportunity. By understanding your strategic priorities, leadership requirements and organisational culture, we help define the role and create a compelling proposition for the right people.

From targeted market mapping and discreet candidate engagement to detailed assessment, interview management and offer negotiation, KESS provides senior involvement throughout the process. Our personal, informed approach helps reduce appointment risk and secure leaders with the experience, judgement and ambition to make a lasting impact.

“KESS have been a trusted recruitment partner to Holiday Extras for many years. They are hardworking, diligent and refreshingly no-nonsense: they take the time to understand our business, use their extensive network well and consistently deliver excellent candidates. What sets them apart is their judgement. They do the hard work of filtering the market properly, so they only put the right people in front of us, they won’t send three candidates when one outstanding candidate will do. They always follow up, always deliver and I would recommend them without hesitation.”
