Advisory for senior executives navigating a move, a transition or a board portfolio
Most executive search firms exist to serve their clients — the organisations that pay the retainer. JOlivier & Partners Candidate Solutions exists for a different purpose: to serve the executive who is navigating a transition, exploring a board mandate, or building a relationship with the advisory community before a move becomes urgent.
Chief executives, functional C-suite leaders and directors operating at board level, typically with revenue or P&L responsibility above €50m or an existing non-executive portfolio. We take a small number of executives at a time. If we are not the right fit, we will say so in the first conversation rather than after an engagement letter.
An exclusive executive placement mandate, structured as a strategic partnership, not a transactional career service. This engagement is intended for executives seeking to access on-market and off-market opportunities with genuine advisory support, discretion and strategic positioning throughout.
Support in building a portfolio of non-executive and advisory roles — identifying the right boards, developing the governance positioning and navigating the nomination process with full advisory support.
Strategic advisory for senior executives navigating a career transition — whether repositioning after a departure, pivoting between sectors or moving from executive to portfolio roles.
Development of a compelling executive profile — CV, LinkedIn, board biography and personal narrative — aligned with the positioning requirements of the mandates you are targeting.
Forty-five minutes, no cost and no documentation. We establish what you are actually solving for — which is frequently not the thing you arrived with.
We map where your profile is genuinely competitive, where it is not, and what would have to change. This is written down and it is candid.
Introductions are made deliberately and selectively, through relationships rather than applications. Nothing carries your name until you have agreed it.
Assessment preparation, reference strategy, offer structure and, where relevant, the first ninety days. The engagement does not end at introduction.
We conduct retained search for client organisations and we advise executives. Rather than claim an information barrier that a firm of this size cannot credibly maintain, we operate one rule: we never put forward an executive we advise for a mandate we are conducting, unless both the client and the executive know of the relationship and agree to it in writing. Where that is not possible, the search takes precedence and we say so at the outset.
Engagements are fixed-fee and agreed in advance, scoped to the work rather than to an outcome. We do not charge a percentage of a future salary and we do not take a fee for introductions alone. Indicative ranges are given in the first conversation.
Most of the executives we work with came to us before they needed to.
