NSFR Limited

We are a long established, forward thinking executive search company with world class in-house research, rigorous processes and extensive knowledge and networks in certain ultra-discreet and highly demanding market sectors.

Whether they be long established landed estates, single family offices or new ventures, all operate in a fast-changing global economy disrupted by technical, political and social change. As such they face exciting challenges and opportunities, acting in a socially responsible, environmentally sustainable way to develop existing assets or diversify into new activities and geographies.

We identify, assess and secure high performing individuals for our clients to deliver on their chosen strategy.

We also offer psychometric assessment testing, which is increasingly used as a validation tool and insight into specific characteristics demanded by clients; as well as leadership mentoring and Board Governance.

Research capability

In an increasingly demanding recruitment market, regardless of the sector, the key to ensure a market is covered in both depth and breadth is down to the rigour of the research. Our team of consultants and researchers have decades of experience and have worked across most sectors and geographies. They have the gravitas to engage at the most senior and demanding levels. They identify, profile and prequalify individuals with specific experience, relevant skills and cultural fit, whether that be from the same sector, or relevant and related areas across the UK or around the world. As part of this process, we provide information and insights which help clients make better decisions about people.

Our Solution

One client, a pre-eminent estate, following the planned retirement of the CEO, needed to appoint a new CEO, albeit with different commercial skills. We agreed to target about 80 organizations, ranging from landed estates, to Oxbridge colleges, to property companies and onto entities that had real estate assets. This generated 160 individuals of whom 80 on paper were relevant and we talked to, we then saw 30 in person and discussed 10 of these with the client. They saw 5 and duly appointed one.
