This global logistics and transport business needed to scale its senior team. As new divisions grew, so did the pressure on existing leadership – and without the right structure in place, critical projects were at risk of stalling.
They needed to bring in experienced leaders quickly, but the roles couldn’t be filled through open-market advertising as confidentiality was key. Alignment was crucial, with no room for error, each hire had to deliver capability and cultural fit from day one.
As a lean internal team, they didn’t have the resource to search for or engage the right senior-level candidates effectively – or the capacity to represent the brand professionally in a competitive talent market. These roles were too critical to risk a misstep.
We worked closely with the HR Director to understand what success would look like in each role – beyond the job description. We helped shape the brief, clarified leadership expectations, and built targeted search strategies for each position.
Every candidate we introduced brought not just the right experience, but the right approach. Most weren’t actively on the market – they were engaged through our networks and approach, not applications.
Each hire gave the business the leadership capacity it needed to move forward with confidence – enabling key initiatives and unlocking momentum across the operation.
Bis Henderson took the time to deeply understand our business culture and the unique requirements of each role. That strategic and tailored approach meant the candidates presented were not only qualified, but aligned with what we needed – in both fit and experience. They became an extension of our business: strategic, discreet, and completely aligned to our goals. Every hire strengthened our leadership team and accelerated our growth.
