Castle Peak Group...not Your Ordinary Executive Search Company

Issue 118

When it comes executive search companies, Castle Peak Group does things differently. They ask questions that other recruitment firms don't consider.

Why?

Because Castle Peak Group offers a new approach to leadership acquisition. They study the background to every company they deal with and then ask one seriously important question.

How diverse are they?

Once Castle Peak Group has got the answer, they’ll then search for an ideal candidate…someone who can ensure that the board of directors or senior managers are diverse and help the business to become more inclusive.

Castle Peak Group was founded two years ago by James Carss. A lot of you will know him because James has been on the recruitment scene long enough to be called a veteran and has a reputation second to none.

“If there’s one thing that counts the most in recruitment, it’s experience,” said James. “I’ve spent close to 25 years working in executive recruitment and have seen how firms operate both here in the UK and in countries like the USA, China and Hong Kong. During that time I’ve realised companies are missing out on potential growth in terms of sales and profits because, in many cases, their leadership does not reflect either their workforce or their customer base…or both.

“Consequently, when I returned to Newcastle, I made it something of a mission to ensure that firms became more diverse and inclusive in terms of their leadership. The crazy thing is that research shows when a firm has a mixed and varied board of directors, executives and decision makes, it will invariably flourish….so why not ensure when new appointments are made that they fit in what can be a hugely successful framework. Okay, it’s not going to happen overnight, but this is something that needs to be considered every time a senior vacancy becomes available. Diverse boards and leadership teams make better decisions, and when executives make better decisions, the company will make more money. Simple.”

Your first step to do recruitment the right way is to contact James and his team at Castle Peak Group do.

They study your business and find someone who will not only be ideal for the job but also help you evolve in the right way.

That’s why Castle Peak Group is different from other recruitment agencies. They are diversity?driven.

“The North East of England has tended to lag behind the rest of the UK in terms of diverse leadership teams…,but we’re missing a trick. All you need to do is look around your local town or city and see how the population has changed. Society is becoming more and more diverse so companies should also follow the same trend. Firms need to focus their executive recruitment not only on ability but also on ethnicity, neurodiversity, race, disability, and sexual orientation. Don’t just go for the quick fix…think more long term.”

And that is precisely what Castle Peak Group will help you achieve.

And if you fancy delving into James Carss extensive recruitment experience…contact his company and you most certainly will because James deals with all new assignments. He’ll guide you by the hand to do recruitment the right way.

Oh…and they’re obviously seriously good at what they do because they’re award winners. They won a gong for Professional Services Start-Up of the Year at the National Start-Up Awards. The awards were founded by the folk behind The Great British Entrepreneur Awards and the Fast Growth 50 Index and champions the best and brightest start-ups from across the UK.
