"We typically partner with an external recruitment consultancy when looking for executive level roles. The value for us, is tapping into a consultancy’s wider networks, looking for talent in industries different to ours as well as identifying up and coming leaders and future talent in the regions in which we operate. Decipher Group is great at building networks and relationships in a business environment; they have strong connections in the market and Calder Stewart leverage this when recruiting for roles."
Darren Evans
