International Executive Search

Finding and empowering leaders to transform our world.

We are committed to the highest standards in client and candidate care

Our success is achieved by the depth and breadth of our international networks across the international development marketplace. It takes years to develop an understanding and gain the expertise needed to effectively navigate the complexities of our markets and at Red Sea we bring over 100 years collective experience in our sector.

We are committed to the highest standards in client and candidate care, with the emphasis on integrity, transparency, and confidentiality.

We are proactive in finding candidates who are potentially not looking or are off the radar of the job market. This has led to success in searches in potentially difficult markets and hard-to-fill roles.

We partner with you from initial briefing through to onboarding for senior and executive leadership, board and trustees.

Whether you require a one-off senior or executive level search or you’re building entire senior teams, we offer you a tailored and personal approach to recruiting in the Global Development and Social Change sector.
