Delivering Against Complex Briefs

Technology is driving transformation across all market sectors and revolutionising the way we operate at every level. This presents huge growth opportunities for technology organisations that have the right leadership, technical skills and people infrastructure to leverage them. However, rapid technological advancement, from artificial intelligence (AI) to robotic process automation (RPA) to cloud services, continues to escalate skills shortages. In such a highly competitive market, many technology companies are struggling to execute their people strategy at the rate needed to sustain their growth trajectory.

This isn’t a problem for Green Park’s clients. Like technology organisations, we operate an agile, forward-looking business model and, at the cutting edge of what drives talent decisions in major organisations, we are quick to adapt and respond to market changes.

Operating in the unique intersection of recruitment, diversity and brand, we not only deliver high-caliber executive leadership talent, but transform cultures, values and teams to make our clients relevant to wider customer groups and increase their overall global competitiveness in the candidate market.

Building Employee Brand

The global technology skills shortage is well-recognised, yet our research shows representation of female and BAME executives remains disappointing in the UK tech sector. Despite industry initiatives to improve gender balance in the technology sector, the proportion of female senior leaders in FTSE 100 technology companies fell last year.

Green Park’s executive search team is committed to providing clients with access to the broadest talent pools in the technology sector, which means they have a much greater potential to fill positions that are notoriously difficult to recruit for. Our diverse candidate networks have been cultivated over 17 years of proactive talent mapping and relationship building, giving us the industry’s most robust data-set. This helps us to identify talent trends and locate skills across-sectors where the existing candidate pool may be limited.

We help our clients to overcome negative perceptions of leadership in this sector, especially on gender. We advocate on behalf of clients, educating the market about their initiatives and ambitions in this area, while our dedicated Diversity, Inclusion, Culture & Ethics consultancy helps organisations to build knowledge, strengthen internal capabilities and develop inclusive workplace cultures. We know that candidates can quickly see-through tokenistic efforts on diversity, so we help clients build solid reputations for inclusion that enhances the power of their brands.
