Case Study: a leading international professional services consultancy appoints a Group Commercial Controller with Morgan Philips Executive Search

Leading International Professional Services Consultancy - Customer Case Study

A leading international professional services consultancy engaged Morgan Philips Executive Search to appoint a Group Commercial Controller. The challenge was to find a candidate who was not only a qualified accountant but also capable of managing a large international team, navigating a major organizational restructure, and being groomed as the CFO's successor. This required deep insight into candidates' capabilities beyond their resumes and CVs.

The solution from Morgan Philips involved shortlisted candidates completing psychometric and personality profiling assessments. These Pulse assessments provided data on behavioral preferences and cognitive abilities, which the team used to create detailed candidate reports with tailored interview questions. Morgan Philips successfully filled the critical role, and the client reported that the subsequent coaching report was instrumental in onboarding the new hire, who perfectly matched the brief.
