The Benefits of using First Future Executive Search and Selection
Research
All research will be conducted by Director Keith Payne, who for the past 6 years has been continually refining the First Future database to ensure unrivalled quality.
Confidentiality
All search, approach and conversational work is solely completed by Keith Payne, ensuring complete confidentiality and 100% discretion on all assignments.
Maximum Coverage
Credible headhunting companies should not headhunt from their own clients - doing so crosses the boundary of ethics and professional business practice. For this reason, hiring a large headhunting company often results in the ruling out of strong candidates who belong to the recruitment firm’s clients.
First Future’s client portfolio is uniquely small, benefiting our partners and candidates by offering deeper insights, a wider talent pool, and the capacity for better matchmaking. Our boutique approach to recruitment operations gives us a genuine edge over nationwide competition.
Referrals
A strong market presence since 2013 has ensured a continuous flow of referrals and recommendations of candidates within the UK manufacturing and engineering sectors.
Various accreditations and membership with the Recruitment and Employment Confederation offer further advantages to existing networks and assures a receptive approach at Director level.
Experience
Keith Payne is a respected and industry-leading executive recruitment director, with specific manufacturing market knowledge that delivers quality with speed.
Track Record
A reputation built on successfully placing senior candidates within Manufacturing and Engineering companies, including for Management, Materials, Commercial, Engineering, Logistics, IT, Finance, Quality and HSE disciplines.
Keith’s experience and knowledge of the industries’ processes offers our clients a unique peace of mind that they will be working with a genuine industry professional. Our unrivalled expertise ensures we deliver pre-qualified candidates in the most cost- and time-effective way.
