Everything You Need To Know About Working With Talent Diamond
What services does Talent Diamond offer?
We deliver six core services: Executive Search, Board Advisory, Leadership Assessment, CEO Succession Planning, Leadership Advisory and Talent Intelligence. Each is designed to strengthen leadership at the most critical levels of your organisation.
How is your executive search process different?
We map the full candidate landscape before approaching anyone. Every search begins with deep market intelligence, sector analysis and a clear success brief — so the shortlist we present is always intentional, not just available.
What does Board Advisory involve?
We support boards on composition, director appointments, governance effectiveness and succession readiness. We work with chairs and nomination committees to ensure the right independent voices are in the room.
How do you approach CEO Succession?
Confidentially, and well before the moment of need. We work with boards and outgoing CEOs to identify, develop and assess internal and external candidates — reducing risk and protecting continuity.
What is Leadership Assessment?
A rigorous psychometric and competency evaluation of senior leaders or final-stage candidates. It gives boards and hiring executives objective data to support their most critical appointments.
What is Talent Intelligence?
Market mapping, executive benchmarking and competitor analysis. We give organisations the strategic data to understand where leadership talent sits in their sector — before they need to move.
Do you work with startups or only established businesses?
We work with any organisation making senior leadership decisions — from scale-ups appointing their first independent board member to global corporates managing succession across multiple markets.
What's your pricing model?
Our fees are engagement-based and agreed at the outset. We do not charge on contingency — our retained model ensures full commitment and confidentiality on every mandate.
How do I know which service is right for us?
We offer an initial consultation at no cost. In that conversation we diagnose your leadership challenge and recommend the most appropriate service — or combination of services.
Where is your team based?
Our consultants operate across North America, Europe and the Middle East, with deep sector networks in each region.
