Identifying Great Leaders

Executive Search

Solutions driven with a human approach

Looking for your next leader?

At the core of ground-breaking organisations are creative, visionary leaders. These people change the course of their respective industries and set new standards. Whether an organisation is headhunting a CEO, MD or a COO, in Africa, Hong Kong or the United States, our dedicated Executive Search division specialises in headhunting C-Level executives across the globe.

Over the last two decades, as an organisation we have cultivated a vast global network of Directors and C-suite executives across over 180 countries. Our deep market insight has led to successful senior-level placements for organisations nationally, cross-continent and globally. Sourcing strategic leaders who can drive organisational growth can be challenging. Even when the right candidates are identified, making meaningful connections isn't always straightforward. Whether you require tech executive search, telecoms executive search or data center executive search, First Point Group’s Executive Search team can help.

Our market mapping tool is also widely used by telecommunications, technology, data center and energy organisations to help them assess the strength of the competition. Fundamentally, our goal within executive search is to help our clients find greatness in their leaders and drive their businesses forward.

Case Study: Mobileum

Mobileum is a leading provider of analytics solutions for the Telecom industry. They needed our expertise to deliver two hard-to-fill roles: two Sales VPs for Latin America. One to be based in Mexico and one to be based in Brazil. The first challenge we faced was that Mobileum was seeking a highly skilled Sales candidate with experience in their specific domain; Big Data and Analytics. They needed us to find candidates who not only had the requisite sales skills, but also had a technical understanding, and also existing contacts with target clients
