Adamson & Partners is an established and highly-respected Senior Executive Search & Selection Consultancy who enjoy a fine reputation in a number of niche markets, including Intellectual Property, International Legal, and Pharmaceutical Healthcare. We pride ourselves on the delivery of a professional, integrated service and, since our inception in 1985, we have built up an impressive ‘blue-chip’ client portfolio of industry-leading, multinational organisations.

Adamson & Partners’ in-house research function plays a vital role in the successful completion of assignments and, with a view to strengthening our team, we are now seeking an experienced Senior Research Associate.  The main duties of this role will be comprised of:

• Preparing presentation documents and when appropriate, search parameters & analysis;
• Accompanying consultants on client briefings and preparing search strategies;
• Identifying and investigating suitable candidates using various research techniques;
• Discussing opportunities with candidates and assessing their suitability;
• Providing a shortlist of candidates for the Consultant to interview;
• Assist in the preparation of candidate profiles for presentation to clients; and
• In the absence of the Consultant, act as the direct client representative on behalf of Adamson & Partners.

Your previous experience should have been gained with a major executive recruitment consultancy in the search function.  All our researchers are trained and developed with a view to advancement to consultancy status and we are therefore only interested in talking to high calibre graduate candidates, who possess an analytical mindset, sound judgement and outstanding communication skills. Due to the international nature of our business it should be noted that overseas travel will be required from time to time and fluent German is a necessity.

This is an exceptional career opportunity for an ambitious individual to ensure both personal and professional development within a success-orientated, close-knit team. Demands are high, but the potential rewards are excellent, with the salary and bonus on offer accurately reflecting the importance of this position.
