What is Values Based Search?
Who are we?
VBS (Values Based Search) specialises in executive recruitment and interim staffing solutions for organisations large and small in the not-for-profit sector. We work in partnership to source executive and non-executive leaders, with either a proven ability or the obvious potential to help you to strengthen and develop your organisation. By realising potential and spotting talent, we will help you to form diverse leadership teams and boards which truly reflect the people you serve. We help you to think differently about complex recruitment challenges. How do we do this?
Listen
We learn about your business model, your strategy and hopes for the future. We take the time to understand your challenges and opportunities and find out what is important to you. We learn about your values through meeting your leaders, employees and the people you serve - we then find people who share them.
Challenge
We challenge assumptions, bringing a new and fresh perspective to your search for talent. We don’t settle for the easy option.
Choice
Our aim is to provide a wide range of applicants from all walks of life. With a proven ability to attract applications from all sectors, we can help you to strengthen, develop and diversify your leadership teams. We work in partnership with you to creatively source new talent, making your choices difficult but exciting.
Courage
We encourage you to make brave decisions, we share the risk by providing guarantees for the work we do. A braver approach to hiring in our experience always leads to a stronger more diverse leadership team.
Pride
We pride ourselves in doing what we said we would do, when we said we would do it. Simple.
Result
Successful senior recruitment is about matching the skills, experience, behaviours and potential of leaders to the right organisation. We believe that our additional focus on values leads to more engaged teams and crucially, improved retention.
