Our Approach
Executive Experience
Our recruitment approach is rooted in actual C-suite experience. We understand executive roles from both sides of the table, having built and led high-performing teams ourselves. This perspective allows us to see beyond surface qualifications and identify candidates that possess the qualities of a motivational leader that fits your organisation’s vision & goals.
Value Alignment Methodology
We prioritise spending significant time with organisations and hiring managers to understand not just the skills needed, but team dynamics, company values (beyond what’s written on walls), and challenges the new hire will need to address. This deep understanding allows us to identify candidates who truly belong and will contribute maximum value.
International Expertise
International businesses need leaders with an international mindset. Understanding the cultural differences that impact the way you do business abroad – as well as at home – is essential. We specialise in finding talent with the type of curiosity that drives them to find deeper understanding and new perspectives – propelling their organisations to new levels of success.
Continuous Support
Our involvement doesn’t end with placement. We maintain regular contact with both clients and placed candidates during the critical first six months, ensuring successful integration and addressing any challenges that arise.

our Process
cut through the fluff and dive straight in
Let’s be frank; Pike & Owl isn’t a fit for everyone, much like how a high-speed train isn’t designed for leisurely sightseeing. But if you’re all in for a journey that cuts through the fluff and dives straight into creating real value and explosive growth, welcome aboard. If you need a commitment to probe deeper, look farther, and aim higher, look no further.
We start by spending a lot of time with hiring managers and the team so we can get to really understand the team dynamics and composition. We look at your company’s true values – beyond the ones written on the wall – and most importantly, we’ll identify what needs to be accomplished and the organisation’s vision so we can understand the specific challenges the role needs to address.
Focusing on alignment, we aim to ensure that candidates share your values and believe in the direction your organisation is taking. We’ll evaluate their skills and technical qualifications, cultural fit and potential for long-term success. By conducting in-depth conversations with potential candidates – spending approximately an hour with each one – we aim to uncover their true strengths.
For international placements, we can:
- Help address specific contractual differences
- Provide guidance on cultural integration for both you and candidates
- Share awareness of country-specific workplace norms and expectations
- Discuss potential challenges for international talent relocation
- Advise on appropriate onboarding processes for international hires
For cross-border recruitment, we can guide both organisations and candidates through the complexities of international placements – ensuring smooth integration so talent can hit the ground running.
We aim to maintain transparency with both employers and candidates, providing honest feedback to talent about potential opportunities, helping employers understand what makes a candidate successful in their role, and discussing potential challenges openly to ensure realistic expectations. By being open and honest, we can focus on creating sustainable matches rather than transactional placements.
We’ll follow up with both parties after placement to ensure successful integration of the candidate and address any issues that might have come up during the initial period. We care about long-term success, not just immediate placement and by providing you with ongoing support, we can help to ensure that success, not just now but well into the future.
