Signium United Kingdom

Signium is a worldwide executive search and leadership consulting firm, best retained by Organisations wanting exceptional leaders who will fit within their team to deliver transformational change.

We’re passionate about finding the right leadership fit.  

Research reveals almost half of senior appointments do not deliver as expected for one or both parties after 18 months usually due to poor leadership fit. We’re told by Clients and Candidates we make a real difference through our focus on getting this right.  Recognising that assessing leadership fit involves both science and intuition, we draw on our FIT methodology and straight forward approach to getting this right.  The success of this methodology is reflected by 92% of our placements still with our client after 18 months in either the same or a more senior post.  Our strategic consulting delivers results in a way that mitigates risk, protects reputation, and identifies and engages talent to your Organisation.

As Executive Search specialists we recognise that we are part of a dynamic community of great people and we work hard to make sure that we deliver results for everyone that we come into contact with.

However we engage you are our business; whether you are looking to build your business,  manage your talent, or further your career. Our skill is in nurturing relationships between you and your peers in the community you're a part of, to deliver real value in executive search.

But connecting great people is only the start. We're passionate about the role Executive Search and leadership consulting plays in driving organisations forward, and we're in this for the long haul. Our approach is built on values that set us apart from our competition, sustaining long-term relationships with people who come back to us time and again.

Signium was founded on the principle of ‘Success through Quality’ as a spin-off from McKinsey in the U.S. more than 60 years ago. Today, quality still is the business’s most important guideline. It has attracted and continues to attract the best consultants in the world of Executive Search to work together in providing outstanding service to its clients; thus helping you to find, retain, and develop the executives you want.

We are proud to be a founder and member of the Association of Executive Search Consultants, the global professional body responsible for improving the quality, value, ethical standards, and methodologies delivered by the industry.
