Executive Search
Retained, research-led searches for leadership appointments where the right person will shape the future of the business.
Global executive search since 2008
The people your business needs are rarely the people applying.
We help professional hair, beauty, cosmetics and personal care businesses find senior talent beyond the obvious shortlist.
Where we add value
Senior hiring built around a specialist market.
We understand the commercial realities, people and personalities behind this industry, from salon economics to global growth.
Commercial Leadership
Sales Directors, General Managers, Country Managers and business builders who can turn strategy into sustainable growth.
Brand, Marketing & Education
Leaders who understand the relationship between brand, professional advocacy, education, community and commercial performance.
Market Intelligence
Honest insight on salaries, talent movement, competitor teams and how your opportunity will be received in the market.
Beyond the visible market
We look where job adverts cannot.
The best senior professionals are often performing well, valued by their employer and not actively looking. Reaching them takes credibility, discretion and a compelling reason to start a conversation.
EB Talent becomes your eyes and ears in the market. We position the business properly, map the relevant talent and speak to people as individuals, not entries in a database.
