Frequently asked
Questions about working with EBC
What kinds of roles does Edward Brown Consulting recruit for?
We are a retained executive search firm focused on board, C-Suite and VP-level appointments — including CEO, CFO, CIO, CTO, CHRO, COO and Non-Executive Director mandates — across Supply Chain, IT, HR, Finance, Commercial Operations and Corporate Transformation. Assignments range from £100K to USD $3.5 million.
Where do you operate?
Headquartered in the North West UK, we deliver searches globally — across the UK, EMEA, the Americas and Asia-Pacific — through long-standing regional networks built over two decades.
How long does an executive search typically take?
Most retained searches reach a curated shortlist within 4–6 weeks of briefing, with offer acceptance commonly inside 10–12 weeks. Interim assignments can begin within ten working days.
How do you approach diversity, equity and inclusion?
DEI is embedded throughout our methodology. Every long and shortlist is consciously diverse and we report transparently on the demographic composition of every search at each stage.
Is my approach to you kept confidential?
Always. Confidentiality is the foundation of executive search. We will never represent you, share your details or approach your current employer without your explicit consent.
What makes EBC different from other executive search firms?
We combine more than two decades of retained search heritage with an award-winning, AI-centric approach to talent mapping and assessment. This blends the precision of advanced technology with the judgement, discretion and human insight that only experienced consultants can provide — delivering organisational transformation, not just appointments.
How does your AI-centric methodology work?
Our proprietary, technology-enabled process accelerates market mapping, candidate identification and assessment while reducing unconscious bias. AI augments — never replaces — our consultants, allowing us to reach deeper, more diverse talent pools faster and present better-calibrated shortlists.
Do you offer interim and fractional leadership solutions?
Alongside permanent C-Suite Leadership we’re able to deliver exceptional, fractional leaders — typically within ten working days, to stabilise, transform or bridge critical leadership gaps during periods of change, growth or crisis.
What is your fee structure?
We operate on a retained basis, with fees structured in transparent stages aligned to the milestones of each assignment. Exact terms are agreed at briefing and reflect the seniority, complexity and geographic scope of the mandate.
Do you provide guarantees on placements?
Yes. Every permanent placement is backed by a free replacement guarantee. In the exceptionally rare case an appointment does not work out within the agreed period, we’ll conduct a thorough, replacement search under the original terms
How do you support candidates through the process?
Candidates receive a confidential, consultative partnership — from initial conversation and briefing through interview preparation, feedback, offer negotiation and onboarding — ensuring every senior leader makes a fully informed and well-supported career decision.
How do I start a conversation with EBC?
Simply contact us through our enquiry form, by email or by phone. Whether you have an upcoming search or are quietly considering your own next move, every conversation begins in complete confidence.
