Executive Search

At 4c, headhunting is our core focus – discovering and attracting the best leaders for our clients business-critical roles.

We understand that a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not the answer and as such have devised three distinct methodologies to cover Executive, NED and Interim assignments.
