We take the time to listen and understand our client’s business strategy and goals. We take the time to discuss and understand corporate culture, team personalities, competencies and specific skill requirements.

The pace of business is such that time is precious, we ensure we only introduce talented professionals who meet the stated requirements and importantly whose career aspirations are met by our clients offering. It is our aim to make the hiring process as straight forward as possible for hiring managers and once a detailed brief has been taken we will aim to ensure our ‘footprint’ is appropriately light on the hiring manager’s day to day responsibilities.

The objective is long term successful partnerships not short term additions to headcount. Sterling’s focus is executive and specialist financial services technology professionals or roles clients are finding ‘difficult’ to hire. These may be Permanent or Contract positions.

‘Executive Search’ and ‘Recruitment’ are 2 different approaches that aim to achieve the same goal; to identify and recruit the right professional with the right experience, skills, values and personality into the right role.

At Sterling we are throwing away the traditional rule book for Recruitment vs. Search. We are a firm focused on delivery. Recognising that each assignment is unique, Sterling will take the time to work with our clients to ensure that the appropriate solution mix is adopted and executed within agreed timescales for delivery. The Sterling approach is highly consultative and is likely to combine both traditional Search and Recruitment methodologies to ensure a successful outcome.
