What do we do?
Executive Search and Selection
Successful organisations are constantly evolving and adapting to the environment in which they operate and we help find the best leaders to ensure you continue to thrive. Our partnership model is proven to lead to the recruitment and retention of strong, passionate and dedicated leadership teams. We approach each search in an open-minded way and have a demonstrable ability to attract applications from all sectors. Our focus on searching for talented senior directors, combined with our ability to spot and develop emerging talent works. We believe long term partnerships between VBS and our clients lead to positive results. We learn about your values, and as your advocates, we find people who match them.
Trustees and Board Members
Your board is important - we have a proven ability to help you to diversify and strengthen it. With experience of recruiting chairs, trustees and paid non-executive directors, VBS can work in partnership with you to help ensure you have a talented and ambitious board, with diversity of background, thought and approach.
Our values-based approach is successful in attracting applications from people who may never have considered joining a board, or who feel that their current non-executive experience won’t be relevant to you. Their lack of understanding of the sector or their assumption that you wouldn’t be interested in them needs a structured and at times persuasive approach. The best boards are the ones where everyone is different. We are able to help you achieve the balance that you need, whether it be on single vacancies or longer campaigns where multiple appointments are required.
Interim Management
Interim managers have been a vital resource for many years, stabilising organisations at times of crisis, and driving transformation at times of transition. The market has changed, but the demand for skilled senior leaders at short notice remains.
We work with not-for-profits to source interim managers from a wide variety of professional backgrounds. Our expertise and networks will help you to find interim directors to cover vacant leadership team or CEO positions, as well as more specific consultants in areas of change and transformation. Our partnership approach, combined with our total commitment to learning about and understanding your values as well as those of the potential applicants delivers excellent results.
