Othrys People Services

Led by Tim Cook, our Director High-Trust Search, we use our networks to help you recruit talent from across our international alumni networks. If you are considering senior or unusual interim or permanent hires, or you need people with specific skills at extremely short notice, we would be delighted to help. We can either contribute to your long and short-list processes or run a recruitment campaign for you.

Certain roles within an organisation require high levels of trust and confidence and unique skills. We assist by filling a variety of embedded positions such as analysts, investigators, and security professionals, on a short-, medium- or long-term basis. We have an internal recruiting and human resources team that works with you to find the right fit for your company.

Our professionally qualified and highly experienced team offer a discreet service that identifies strengths, weaknesses and professional-development requirements for key individuals in management and succession positions. Our assessment can help you to identify options for retention, executive development and succession planning. It also helps benchmark your executive team against industry best practice.

The assessment is based on a competency-based interview (on-line or face to face); 360-degree references, which may include customers; psychometrics; and AI facial expression detection analysis for personal development.

We produce individual or team-based reports for senior management including benchmarking; identification of individual and team-based development priorities; and individual leadership development reports with an 18 month priority action plan.

A number of our most inspirational leaders are using team mentorship and personal coaching to give organisations, businesses and individuals the benefit of their vast experience. These are immensely impressive people who remain humble and grounded, whose insights into life skills, leadership, culture and human behaviour were forged in the most demanding of circumstances and under intense pressure.

Whether you want to review your priorities in life, or develop your leadership skills and management relationships, or prepare for specific events, or assess and develop a key team or group, our coaching and mentoring team is here to help.

Many businesses use Advisory Boards to very good effect to support the achievement of specific goals. This may be a light touch to simply add substance and gravitas through relationships with people who are known and respected in their fields; or it could be a Board created to help achieve very specific and time limited objectives, perhaps to achieve an acquisition or merger. Or to support a cultural change or leadership programme; or to navigate a period of transformation (such as digitisation); or to break into new markets, new geographies, with new products; or to help accelerate aspects of business growth.

We can help you create, populate and operate your Advisory Boards. We can help you define your Board strategy, write your Terms of Reference, identify the skill sets you need on your Board, find the right people for you, provide Chair and Secretariate functions as required, and help deliver the Board outputs.
