About 4C.
Trusted Leadership Search, Built on Partnership, Performance & Precision
At 4C Executive Placement, we don’t just fill roles — we deliver long-term leadership solutions that shape the future of organisations across Northern Ireland, the UK, Ireland, and beyond.
Founded in 2013 by industry veteran Gary Irvine, 4C Executive was born out of a clear vision: to raise the bar for executive search in Northern Ireland. Over a decade later, our results speak for themselves — a 92% success rate across over 800 retained assignments, far surpassing industry norms.
In 2024, we were proud to be recognised in the Financial Times UK Leading Recruiters list — the only privately-owned Northern Irish firm to achieve this distinction in the executive search category.
Our Mission
To connect visionary organisations with exceptional leadership talent — through a rigorous, bespoke search process that prioritises discretion, alignment, and long-term impact.
