Executive Search

GCC Search

Successful Executive Search begins with market insight, and outstanding reach. You want a partner who know every African market, and has an outstanding talent pool in each country.

The true differentiator of a leading executive search solution is the consultant handling the project. Our GCC Associates are Principal Consultants with decades of experience in senior resourcing across Africa.

An executive search via GCC Search is the way for African employers seeking game-changing people at the senior level to bring diverse, internationally-experienced talent into their organisations.

Our Offerings

Executive search is a focused, sensitive and direct way to manage critical hiring. These positions are business critical, with downtime an unacceptable risk and the careful handling of both reputation and relationships essential. This is why leading organisations continue to prefer a retained search approach, rather than a success-fee model where these requirements are jeopardised.

GCC Search’s executive search is for board members and senior business leaders motivated by business continuity, protection of relationship and reputation, who wish to secure the perfect hire in each key post.
