Our success
Our Success
Our partnerships with our clients are the driving force behind our overall success. We partner with the best candidates in the marketplace to provide transformative search and selection offerings to meet business strategies and achieve objectives.
Our consultants will typically have one of three ambitions; continue in consulting with a fast-track to partner, transfer their skillset into an industry position, or transition into private equity. With our primary focus on retained search assignments, we also dedicate time to establishing a clear understanding of the career ambitions of all of our long-term candidates, allowing us to build a long-term strategy around their requirements. G&E Partners search and selection processes include liaising continuously with key industry leaders, sometimes up to eighteen months ahead of their desire to move to a new position. This method offers the opportunity to develop a unique understanding of the candidates’ requirements and their preferred career path.
G&E Partners executives possess an in-depth knowledge of a candidates motivations, drivers, objectives and key goals, which ultimately allows us to identify high potential individuals whose aspiration are closely aligned to that of our clients.
Business partnering services
Business partnering services
At G&E Partners, we strive to maintain the highest quality of expertise. Through restricting our business partnering activities to senior finance and HR roles, we are able to offer a more succinct service which truly understands the requirements of our clients.
The critical roles that finance and HR play within a business, when it comes to strategic performance, result in the need for highly skilled and knowledgeable talent within these sectors. When we consider talent management processes, we are able to recognise the top talent through the manner in which they display their value and evidence their experience of facing challenges within the workplace.
Our speciality lies in search and selection processes which focus on working with individuals over the longer term, allowing us to identify skills gaps, offering them valuable advice which will allow them to progress to the next step in their career. For example, a Divisional Finance Director often handles all day-to-day aspects of the CFO role but also needs additional exposure to non–executives, or a stronger relationship with banks and analysts, beyond meetings when results are declared, or finance is been raised.
Through tapping into the G&E Partners talent pool of exceptional candidates, we are able to locate the ideal candidate to suit your appointment. We harbour the capability to easily select potential Group HRD or CFO’s by reviewing their evidence of success and match the skills on their resumés to your objectives.

A project looking to find strategy consultants – high potential’s who can hold C-2 roles in 2-3 years, based in Brazil, China – Mainland Europe.
Finance Head – EAA (stock Exchange Listed)
Listed international business, $6B group, sought an experienced individual able to develop the finance teams geographically dispersed over 12+ countries.
This appointment had two equally important mandated objectives, this hire represented the best external opportunity to strengthen as the role had clear line of sight to become the successor for the hiring manager who was currently blocked from advancement by a lack of a successor.
Hire complicated by the need for a firm commitment to a continental relocation in 2-3 years’ time. This was achieved by locating a person based in the UK who had a family completing education in 2 years and a partner who wanted to return to Australia once the schooling had been completed. Thus, reducing the risk of a change of heart.
