How We Operate

At Watermark Search, we believe that strong boards make better organisations. In conducting searches, we do not simply look for ‘a name’ but for candidates with the right experience and relevant skills to add real value to a board.

We have established a reputation, built up over 20 years of carrying out stringent research and drawing on an extensive network of experienced executives known to us as well as “rising stars”. Our track-record also makes us familiar with the specific and often sensitive challenges involved in appointing non-executive directors and chairmen with the right personal and cultural fit.

The result is an ability to generate diverse short-lists and to consistently find successful candidates who will help boards to perform at their peak.

Search Methodology

We apply the same stringent standards to a non-executive appointment as we do to executive roles.

We are not going to show you a flow chart of our process because every search is different. However, we have the high level in-house research to identify the best talent in almost any field.

Timetable

Briefing to the presentation of short-listed candidates is typically about 6 to 8 weeks.
