What we are
Steve Banks & Partners is an Executive Search Firm that helps our clients gain competitive advantage by enabling them to hire, retain and develop outstanding talent and build high performing leadership teams and businesses. We aim to deliver appointments that make a real difference, creating growth stories, transformation and turnarounds, success!
We seek to build true partnerships with our clients where we can assist across a broader range of issues and our Executive Search mandates are always executed in line with the clients long term strategy and goals.
Our aim is to add significant value through helping clients make appointments which will make a meaningful difference to their businesses.
In this respect we believe we are instantly differentiated from most Global Search Firms.
How we operate
We provide a highly personalised service and with the support of exceptional research and consulting partners, we are able to advise across a range of issues, working dynamically with pace and flexibility to provide the highest levels of client support.
We listen and are not afraid to challenge, delivering unwanted messages when necessary - we are driven by our clients objectives and not constrained by internal issues or external stakeholders.
We are characterised by high levels of repeat business and personal recommendation which are testament to our ethos of building long term relationships based on transparency and consistently high quality delivery.
We aim to assist clients in a straight forward and transparent manner, de-bunking the mystique often deliberately created by search firms - we focus on client objectives and results delivery!
