Rubicon, an employee-owned company, has relaunched Rubicon Executive to enhance its recruitment of top executives across the UK. In a rapidly changing business environment, finding the right leaders is crucial. Jessica Comolly-Jones, Rubicon’s Commercial Director, emphasises that executive hiring involves more than evaluating resumes; it’s about cultural fit and understanding individual industry nuances.
Rubicon uses advanced methods like psychometric testing to better assess candidates, ensuring they align with company values and are effective in their roles.
The importance of correct hiring is underscored by a REC report, revealing that 95% of HR decision-makers admitted their business made significant hiring mistakes last year, costing an average of £132,000.
The company also prioritises diversity and maintaining a strong talent pipeline, preparing businesses for future challenges with the necessary leadership. The relaunch of Rubicon Executive marks a strategic move to differentiate their executive recruitment services from the broader Rubicon Recruitment portfolio, offering specialised, high-quality solutions.
Jessica explains, ‘Rubicon Executive’s mission isn’t just to fill vacant positions; it’s to influence business success across the UK by identifying top-performing leaders.’
