Business-critical leadership appointments should never be left to chance. Sental’s Critical Hire Planning service enables organisations to take a proactive approach to future hiring, identifying and engaging exceptional talent ahead of business needs.

Why choose Sental?

We are a Specialist Headhunting and Executive Search firm. Our Directors and Talent Executives partner with our clients across the UK, EU and Globally on confidential and transformational business needs.

Building Balanced & Diverse Leadership Teams

 

At the core of our approach is the belief that diverse teams drive business success.  Our headhunting strategies attract top talent while ensuring the teams we build reflect a range of perspectives, fostering innovation and long-term growth.  This commitment is demonstrated by the fact that, on average, 51.2% of hires through Sental come from groups underrepresented in leadership, highlighting our dedication to bring balance to business.

 

Days to Hire

Our efficient headhunting strategies consistently deliver an average days-to-hire of just 25 days, significantly outperforming the market average.  This quick turnaround is vital for clients who are focused on meeting hiring targets, helping to sustain engagement and prevent top talent from being lost to competing offers.  By securing the right candidates swiftly, we ensure our clients stay ahead in a competitive talent market.

Attrition Rates

We achieve exceptionally low attrition rates by aligning candidates' aspirations, goals, and values with the right roles and clients.  On average, we see Executive retention with clients ranging from 3 to 10 years, reflecting our approach of ensuring long-term commitment. 

Specialisms

At Sental, we focus on understanding how different business units collaborate within an organisation, enabling us to deliver tailored headhunting solutions for each unique role.  Unlike traditional agencies that focus narrowly on individual specialisms, we take a broader, more strategic approach. Our expertise spans multiple industries, countries, and cultures, ensuring we provide talent that not only fits the role but also integrates seamlessly into your organisational structure.  

Brand Representation

We treat your brand as our own, ensuring it is represented with integrity and professionalism.  By deeply understanding your values and goals, we engage with top talent who aren’t actively seeking new roles, demonstrating why your organisation is the right fit for them—protecting and enhancing your brand’s reputation throughout the process.

Outcome Focused

We take a strategic approach to recruitment, ensuring every placement aligns with your business goals and drives measurable success.  Our outcome-focused approach guarantees that we provide Executives and Specialists who deliver lasting impact, supporting your long-term objectives.

Our Group Structure

 

 

Our unique group structure is designed to seamlessly partner with clients across every aspect of talent management. We specialise in securing Executives and Senior Leaders while also supporting transitions through our expert Outplacement Services, providing a comprehensive solution for both growth and change within your organisation.
