About Us
“I have worked with Sarah for a good many years, both as the recruiter and, on occasion, the recruit. The diligence, quality and overall engagement has always been exemplary. From initial introduction of an opportunity through the, sometimes staccato, process and ultimately to the conclusion, I have found Sarah to be highly communicative and always fully focussed.”
About Cyan Exec
Our philosophy is based on demonstrating an outstanding level of professional ethics in everything we do, in how we engage with our clients and candidates, with relationships built on trust and openness, to ensure we reach the right successful outcome for everyone.
Our approach
Each assignment is unique and requires a bespoke approach. Whether contingent or retained, we invest time to develop an in-depth understanding of each search; the organisation, products & services, market position, key challenges of the role, background and experience needed and why someone would be motivated to leave their current role and join the business.
Our experience means we know exactly where to look. We can also look beyond the obvious to find the additional qualities that make a candidate exceptional. They might not yet tick all the boxes, but have the core competencies, flair, drive and ambition, to bring a fresh approach and new ideas.
“Sarah and her team have a strong track record of finding outstanding candidates on a consistent basis. They are amongst the very best companies I’ve come across when it comes to interpreting a brief and finding suitable people.
They work extremely hard and have found good people for me very quickly. They negotiate offers with considerable skill and, as a client, I feel as though they are acting in my best interests when it comes to closing out an offer, rather than closing it at any price. Their judgement is excellent; this comes across in their communication style which is appropriate and effective for interaction with the most senior of people and the most sensitive of situations.”
Our relationships
Our relationships with many of our clients and candidates are long lasting and stretch back for years. We are also able to make an impact quickly and from a standing start have become a trusted recruitment partner in a matter of months.
