Securing a Transformation Leader for Strategic Growth in Record Time
Location: Europe
Sector: Content & Media
Job Title: Director of Transformation, Europe
Service Provided: Specialist Recruitment
Shortlist timeframe: Within 2 weeks
Project brief to closure: 6 weeks from brief to placement
The Challenge:
Our client, like many others in the industry, was undergoing a strategic transformation to enhance their service offerings and operational structure. To support these changes across their European divisions, they needed an experienced Director of Transformation. This individual had to possess a proven ability to influence senior leaders across diverse geographies while working hands-on and cross-functionally to build a strong PMO and governance framework.
Our Solution:
neuco partnered closely with the HR team and the hiring manager to ensure we fully understood the complexities and demands of the role. Leveraging our extensive network, we identified and shortlisted five senior leaders from across Europe, each with a strong track record in transformation and leadership. Within just two weeks of qualifying the position, we presented this carefully screened shortlist, with candidates immediately available for interviews.
The Outcome:
Within a month of delivering the shortlist, final interviews were completed, with two candidates emerging as strong contenders. The client successfully secured their top choice, who accepted the offer and resigned from their previous role that same week.
What the candidate said:
“I recently had the pleasure of working with neuco and their consultant, Abi, during my job search, and all I can say is good things about them and the process. From the very first interaction, Abi was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure that I understood her customer needs, and that I was a good match for the position. Her expertise and insights into the media industry were useful to guide me through the process. Abi took the time to understand my skills and aspirations, matching me with a fantastic opportunity that I’m thrilled to have secured. The support I received from neuco was top-notch, and I truly felt like they were in my corner every step of the way.”
