At @SALTER.ME, we are Headhunters who partner with Global Recruitment and Executive Search firms to attract top Senior Executive Search Talent, Professional Search Experts, and Senior Global Leadership Hires.
​
With over 25 years of experience in Global Staffing and Recruitment—including a decade specialising in Executive Search—we bring an extensive network, deep industry expertise, and proven methodologies to deliver exceptional talent for even the most challenging, hard-to-fill roles.
​
Our strong industry reputation and expansive network make us a trusted partner in navigating senior talent markets. We are committed to providing clients and candidates with "white-glove" service, ensuring integrity, confidentiality, and unparalleled support throughout every step of the process.
​
While our dedicated searches are exclusively run on a retained basis, we also offer an agile speculative contingency model for clients seeking flexibility in less specialised hiring scenarios. This reactive service can deliver results but does not provide the same guaranteed outcomes or rigorous, targeted practices as a retained search. It is best suited for clients who prefer not to fully engage the market but still want access to the exceptional senior professionals we meticulously present. These non-retained partnerships often evolve over time. Many clients, after experiencing our detailed "white-glove" approach, choose to engage with us on a deeper, fully retained or exclusive basis for future hires. By offering both retained and contingency options, we adapt to your unique requirements, ensuring the right talent solution for every situation.​ Our retained search assignments are thorough, discreet, and held to the highest confidentiality standards. We dive deep into market mapping, proactively engaging top candidates with precision and care. With our global reach, we deliver comprehensive market assessments across any time zone, ensuring no talent is out of reach.
​
CANDIDATE REPRESENTATION:
Our Candidate market insight, advisory, and representation services offer a discreet pathway to uncover and navigate new career opportunities, whether it's an individual trajectory or leading a team into a fresh organisation. With over 20 years of experience, our ties with leading Global Recruitment and Executive Search Firms, Public & Private Recruitment businesses, Private & Institutional Investors, Recruitment Holding Companies, M&A Advisors, and others bolster our esteemed position and wide-reaching network within the industry.
​
With each individual, we dive deep into understanding their aspirations, motivations, and ambitions. Hand in hand, we devise a discreet strategy for market navigation. Our engagements are chiefly at the Owner/Board tier. Rather than relying on traditional CVs, our reputation and nuanced grasp of both the individual and the potential organisation set the stage for substantive dialogues. Acutely aware of the profound trust entrusted to us and potential risks, we exercise rigorous confidentiality, revealing identities only when a tangible, reciprocal opportunity surfaces.​
