Sam Allen Associates
Sam Allen Associates is a boutique executive search firm with the expertise, tenacity and reach of a global search firm. We have a strong track record of working successfully with a wide range of FTSE, private and PE backed businesses and have developed relationships at Board level across a broad range of sectors including consumer goods, retail, retail banking, telecommunications, digital, transport, leisure, insurance, healthcare, utilities and sport.
We work with international clients to appoint critical hires including Chairmen, Non-Executive Directors and c-suite Executives at Board and Executive Team level. Our main areas of business are:
Executive Search
We deliver Executive Search for clients in the UK and internationally, recruiting Chairmen, Non-Executive Directors and executives.
Board Effectiveness Reviews
We have a track record of working successfully with clients to lead external Board Effectiveness Reviews. We partner with key stakeholders to reach a practical action plan that provokes reflection and challenge.
Succession Planning and Assessment
We help our clients to understand and develop their existing talent, providing an external perspective to help benchmark against strategic drivers. SA Associates is qualified to lead a range of assessment tools.
Referencing
We help our clients to "de-risk" critical hiring decisions through extensive due diligence. Hiring the wrong people is extremely costly in terms of money, time, reputational damage and the disruption to a company's strategy. We provide comprehensive and meticulous referencing on individuals, gaining the confidential opinions of their superiors, peers, clients, ex colleagues and other informed market intermediaries. Referencing supports the selection process and can help identify areas to address in "on boarding". We consider a candidate's impact on a company's long term performance as a measure of our own success.
