Our reputation at the top of executive search goes back 40 years.
In the UK our team of nearly 380 people includes 60 partners and spans 8 offices. Internationally we have over 300 partners in 51 cities.
Our approach is based on our belief that what we do adds immense value to our clients and our candidates and can help transform organisations and individuals' lives. We believe we have a duty to do our work outstandingly well because of the impact it has on all the people involved. Getting it right matters.
All our work is underpinned by flair, rigour, teamwork and choice:
Flair comes from very bright, experienced and motivated professionals who have a passion for finding interesting people who are right for the role.
Rigour underpins the flair. Good process ensures that the ground is thoroughly covered; it ensures that candidates are treated impeccably and that excellent results are consistent and not a flash in the pan.
Teamwork means that every search is contributed to by many of our people in addition to the partners and researchers who take the lead roles. Choice is what we provide for our clients. Diversity is implicit in this choice.

Twenty years ago, CHPD started its work in the area of leadership development. We began with one simple question - what makes some companies more successful than others? In our original research, we studied over 3,000 leaders and identified 12 different characteristics that would impact on organisational success. We named these high performance behaviours.
Today, we assess leadership preference and capability in around 25,000 people every year with our unique tools. In just one day we can objectively measure someone's potential and capability to lead - a process that takes most organisations years, and even then it's often subjective. Our workshops and development programmes have helped more than 80,000 people in their journey towards reaching their full potential.
At the Centre for High Performance Development, we make the business leaders of today, the success stories of tomorrow. www.chpd.com
