What we do

Executives in Africa is the largest team of Search Experts focused purely on senior executive positions based across Africa both North and Sub-Sahara. Our multilingual team have completed over 650 mandates in 42 countries in over 12 years.

Our defined Search methodology comprises an 8 Step Process which includes our proprietary EiA SuitAbility Assessments. Whilst the critical requirements of each Executive Search are bespoke, in overview, we proactively access candidates in the market, thoroughly assess them and then partner with our clients to advise throughout the client interview process and the subsequent appointment.

With an extensive international network, combined with the understanding of recruiting into local markets in Africa, we offer an unrivaled ability to deliver our clients’ needs for hiring C-level and senior executives. We have experience hiring both local African candidates, Africans in the Diaspora and expatriate managers where required. 66% of our placements in the last 3 years (to 2020) have been African nationals, which is a growing requirement for multinational companies as well as for local indigenous businesses.

With the increasing momentum in Africa resulting in high demand from our clients to identify quality leaders, we are committed to ensuring our clients & candidates receive the best service in the search industry. We recognise that it is financially crucial that our clients hire the right candidate first time and with over 94% of our placed candidates staying beyond the first year, it is clear that our process works. Above all, we pride ourselves on delivering what we promise – usually in only 4 weeks!

We believe that we can have a positive and lasting impact on Africa.
