ABOUT US
Wyman Bain is a client-focused transparent Executive Search and Headhunting firm.
We work in close partnership with our clients to build comprehensive knowledge of their company. Truly understanding how your business works allows us to create a compelling story to entice, engage and present the very best executive talent for you.
Our Methodology
At Wyman Bain, we take pride in delivering a research-led executive search process that sets us apart from traditional, database-dependent firms. By focusing on bespoke research tailored to each client’s needs, we ensure a comprehensive and transparent approach to identifying and securing exceptional talent. Below is a detailed comparison of our methodology against the more conventional database-dependent approach.
| Aspect | Research-Led Approach (Wyman Bain) | Database-Dependent Approach (Traditional Firms) |
|---|---|---|
| Research Methodology | Bespoke research conducted for each assignment, ensuring tailored results. | Reliance on pre-existing candidate databases often leads to limited options. |
| Talent Pool | Access to hidden talent, including candidates not actively seeking roles. | Limited to candidates listed on platforms such as LinkedIn or internal databases. |
| Market Mapping | Comprehensive market mapping to provide a complete snapshot of the talent landscape. | Restricted to profiles available within the database, missing broader market insights. |
| Candidate Engagement | Proactive outreach and direct engagement with potential candidates. | Passive candidate sourcing, relying on those who have already expressed interest. |
| Focus of Researchers | Dedicated researcher working on one project at a time, ensuring undivided attention. | Researchers often handle multiple assignments simultaneously, which can dilute their focus. |
| Quality Assurance | Rigorous verification and evaluation processes, both objective and subjective. | Limited quality checks, often based on database information alone. |
| Client Collaboration | Close partnership with clients to develop detailed briefs and specifications. | Minimal collaboration, often relying on standardised processes. |
| Retention Success | A high success rate, with 80-90% of placed candidates remaining in their roles beyond the first year. | Lower retention rates due to less personalised candidate matching. |

How are we different?
We have created a completely unique search experience for our clients. One which is founded on how search should work, and not how it has always worked; a fully auditable and transparent experience with every relevant organisation dissected and every possible candidate identified.
Our aim is not to merely tell you how we work, it's to fully understand your commercial objectives and preferences. We then provide an appropriate solution based on the unique needs of your business.
Not your traditional ‘head hunting’ agency
We offer you a highly proactive and controllable resource, which eliminates many of the risks associated with a more traditional means of recruitment.
In the purest sense, we give you access to talent that is not available on databases via agencies or ‘traditional Headhunting companies’.
Our motivation as a company is to enable and enact our clients’ successes and through this develop a long-term relationship through delivering outstanding results and exceptional service levels.
