What Good Talent Is All About
Good Talent is a professional search consultancy that’s all about driving growth for values-led companies. The core idea? Finding the people who not only have the skills but also live your culture and share your values. Because, let’s face it, your future depends on just a handful of people. And those people need to be the right fit to transform your business and, ultimately, change the world.
The Main Benefit: Finding the Right People for Growth
When it comes to hiring, Good Talent goes beyond the usual. It’s not just about filling roles; it’s about finding the cream of the crop who truly get your mission. Here’s what sets them apart:
- Expertise in values-based search – matching candidates to your culture and values
- Focus on senior management and “hard to find” key hires
- Proactive search methods – no relying on just databases or ads
- Professional search for “non executive” roles to ensure top talent
- Deep understanding of purpose-led organisations and their unique needs
How Good Talent Works Differently
Unlike traditional recruiters who might just pull candidate files from a database, Good Talent takes a proactive approach. They search far and wide for the perfect candidate who fits your values and has what it takes to propel your business forward. Plus, they take the time to really get to know you – your mission, your values, what makes your business tick. This means they’re not just filling roles; they’re championing your business with genuine insight.
Services That Support Growth and Leadership
Good Talent offers a range of services designed to help businesses scale and lead with authenticity. These include:
- Values-Based Search: Finding candidates who fit your culture and growth needs
- People Strategy: Designing organisational and people strategies aligned with growth goals
- Leadership Coaching: Helping senior teams lead with skill, passion, and authenticity through coaching and development
Why Values and Culture Matter So Much
In today’s world, hiring isn’t just about skills and experience. It’s about finding people who truly “get” your business – who live your values and fit your culture. Good Talent’s search methodology gives proper weight to values alongside skills and expertise. This approach helps businesses assess candidates’ motivations, attitudes, and cultural fit, which is vital for long-term success and positive impact.
