Case Study: Retained Search

Muirhall are a highly regarded Lanarkshire-based developer of renewable energy assets, who were looking for a fresh recruitment approach to a specific business critical hire in a highly competitive skills-market.  As such, Muirhall engaged Melbury to undertake a Retained Search.

Muirhall employ great people.  Appreciating Muirhall’s appeal was as important to our Search as identifying requisite skills and knowledge.  So, we took time to understand Muirhall’s exact requirements at an initial brief before researching the market and confidently contacting dozens of target professionals – a longlist of over 50 names.

Through our screening process, Melbury refined applications to a core Shortlist of six candidates, whose CVs we presented to Muirhall within five weeks of starting the assignment.

Melbury supported Muirhall and all applicants throughout the selection stages.  We advised on negotiation, presented offers, and are delighted to have confirmed start dates for not one but two new appointments.
