• Saxton Bampfylde is one of the world's leading independent global executive search and assessment firms. I was recruited as a researcher through a graduate programme.
• I researched executive and non-executive roles in government and regulation, arts and culture, education (schools and higher education) and various charities.
• Each search was conducted over three weeks, much of which I was working independently. For some searches, I was looking for two different roles within the same organisation.
