What does joining Agilium Worldwide mean for Sherrington Associates?
Joining Agilium Worldwide gives our team access to a global network of similarly experienced leadership recruitment experts in 50 countries globally, strengthening our existing capabilities in delivering cross-border searches and recruiting senior executives overseas. It also gives us access to a significantly larger talent pool, allowing us to draw on candidates in other international regions by collaborating with our partners in other countries. This is especially beneficial for recruiting niche-sector C-Suite roles, where local talent may be scarce.
Partnering with our other Agilium Worldwide member firms now provides Sherrington with invaluable insights into the nuances of local legal frameworks, cultures, customs and compensation norms, enhancing the effectiveness in the work we do outside the UK.
Members of Agilium Worldwide actively share best practice, learning and knowledge exchange, refining search methodology and allowing continuous development of candidate assessment, sourcing strategies and market trends, strengthening the services we provide to our clients.
