Clients
Who we work with
At Northwood, we aim to develop and create partnerships with our clients and offer them an elite level of service. We want our clients to be as proud to be working with us as we are to be working with them. We continue to work with some of the most innovative and exciting companies in the Medical & Scientific markets and are amazed by some of the ground-breaking technology that our clients are involved in.
We partner with companies ranging from large multinational organisations, mid-sized companies and start-up enterprises. Each different business we work with offer their own unique and exciting challenge and we relish the opportunity to work with them.
We have a flexible and agile approach to our work.See the areas we specialise in below.
Global Retained Search
Predominantly the way that we work at Northwood is on a retained basis. Working in this manner allows us to provide a bespoke and extensive executive search service tailored to the specific requirements of the hiring company we are in partnership with. We provide a detailed shortlist to timescales dictated by the needs of our client and are always on hand to consult our clients on the process. This includes helping with the job specification, collaborating with the client to decide salary range for the position, taking the lead on package negotiations at offer stage and placing a big emphasis on the onboarding process.
Offering flexibility in the way we structure the search gives our clients a variety of options and peace of mind that the search is being completed how they wanted with a successful conclusion.
Proactive Contingency Recruitment
In certain situations, we work with our clients on a contingency basis, offering a proactive and dedicated service. Although our preferred method of working is in an executive, retained manner, we recognise that there are times when a client is looking for an alternative way of recruiting which involves internal candidates or multiple recruiting partners. We can offer both exclusive and non-exclusive search options which fit to the individual needs of clients.
PSL Recruitment
We are a preferred supplier of businesses of varying sizes and work with companies who operate a PSL framework for their recruitment needs. Our adaptability allows us to work as the sole supplier for our clients or as part of a group of preferred specialist companies who can each concentrate on a specific product area, function or geographic region.
Market Analysis
We can provide organisations with extensive information when they are looking to enter a new market, whether it be from a product perspective or in a geographical sense. Having placed candidates in over 30 countries in many product verticals, we are in a strong position to advise candidates on the market potential and what talent is available in the geographic area they are exploring.
Psychometric Testing
In the highly competitive and technical markets that our clients work in, recognising and nurturing the best talent is essential. Businesses are increasingly using personality profiling as part of their hiring process and to aid the development of their current staff. Our team offer psychometric testing – we have an accredited and qualified individual within the business who will deliver this service.
Salary Benchmarking
With our vast experience in placing candidates in the Medical & Scientific markets, we assist our clients on salary banding and benchmarking globally. Northwood offer advice on what the standard salary is in particular regions and currencies including advising on the standard benefits packages in specific regions.
