for a new perspective

We are an executive search firm dedicated to levelling the playing field for diverse talent. We believe in the importance of diversity of thought as the biggest competitive advantage to any leadership team, so we always cast a wider net when looking for talent and think outside the traditional search parameters when partnering with our clients. Audeliss is dedicated to levelling-up executive and non-executive opportunities for women, people of color and LGBT+ candidates.

WHAT WE DO

Diverse recruitment & talent pipelining

We aim to provide a collaborative and personalized approach to service by delivering innovative and reliable solutions to recruitment challenges. Ultimately, we are brand ambassadors for both our clients and candidates and we will do best to embody and deliver in respect of that, at every opportunity.

We have expertise in four core practice areas:

 

Executive Search:

We understand that finding the right person is difficult; we make the finding process simpler. Our consultants identify and engage diverse senior leaders, assess potential based on the client brief, foster relationships built on face-to-face meetings, and oversee the recruitment lifecycle, even after the offer and start date.

 

Talent Pipelining:

We take a proactive approach to identify high-potential, diverse talent to supplement your organization’s traditional recruitment database and process. Before the need even arises, you will be tapped into a pool of unique and qualified candidates ready to be considered for the role.

 

Board Practice:

Appointing your board is one of the most business-critical tasks you’ll undertake. Our consultants will partner with you to develop the best candidate profile. We’ll engage with our network of leaders to find the right non-executive to add value and strategic leadership to your organization.

 

Market Intelligence:

In an ever-changing landscape, it is crucial to keep up to date with insights, trends and data that shape your marketplace. Our consultants will go to market, conduct research and provide you with the information required to assess and make a critical business decision.

What they say about us

“It’s a daunting endeavour to enter any competition when you know the competition is going to be fierce due to many outstanding candidates and where the winner takes all. Having entered the open competition for the role of Chair for the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), I was delighted not only by the professional service given by Audeliss throughout the process but also by the personal commitment given by their Chief Executive, Suki Sandhu and his team, who ensured the navigation through a very thorough, fair and transparent process was met with clarity, support and good humour – making the process both enjoyable and a pleasure” 

The Baroness Zahida Manzoor CBE

“Audeliss is a truly unique executive search firm. The entire team provides an exceptional breadth of experience and insight. I’ve worked with them on multiple roles at Aviva and I’m particularly impressed with their level of perseverance and tenacity to deliver. Finding rockstar diverse candidates is something we take seriously and Audeliss are as passionate about that as we are. Their due diligence and assessment methods always result in an accurate picture of the candidate that stands the test of time and performance.  If you are used to working with the traditional search firms, give Audeliss a go, you will not be disappointed. I look forward to working with them again in the future.”

Sarah Morris, Chief People Officer - Compass

“From the very beginning, Audeliss understood exactly what we were looking for. Their team practised close communication with complete professionalism throughout the search. Despite a challenging brief they provided a variety of diverse candidates, whose skills and experience consistently impressed the Nationwide Board at every stage of the recruitment process.”

David Roberts, Chairman - Nationwide Building Society

“The role required a very specific brief that called for niche candidates with both analytical and communication skills who would also be a good cultural fit for the unique environment at Ofcom, and we were eager to increase the diversity of the team. Audeliss presented us with a diverse shortlist that included excellent senior female, BAME and LGBT talent with a broad range of skills and experience.”

Sharon White, Chief Executive Officer - Ofcom

“STEM is a notoriously difficult industry in which to find diverse candidates, so we engaged Audeliss knowing they were executive diversity specialists. Audeliss rose to the challenge, delivering a global shortlist that included exceptional female and ethnic minority candidates, with whom we were incredibly impressed. I would thoroughly recommend Audeliss for their unique ability to source excellent diverse talent and to provide a positive and productive recruitment experience.”

Gordon Pitman, Chief HR Officer - GKN
