Hiring senior leaders is high-stakes and role-specific. These practical guides cover how to hire each C-suite role, how sector context changes the search, and how the executive search process works — all drawn from how leadership hiring actually succeeds.
Practical, role-by-role guides to hiring each member of the senior team.
How leadership hiring changes across beauty, fashion, hospitality, and luxury.
How executive search works, and how to run a successful one.
Norman Consultants runs confidential, rigorous executive search for beauty, personal care, and the broader consumer sector.
Define the real mandate and what success looks like, search proactively and widely rather than advertising, assess rigorously for judgement and fit as well as track record, run an efficient and respectful process, and invest in onboarding. Getting the brief right up front removes most of the risk.
For senior, confidential, hard-to-fill, or specialist roles — especially C-suite roles — an external search firm brings wide market reach, proactive access to leaders who are not looking, rigorous assessment, and independence. In-house teams handle most other hiring well.
