About Us

THE BACKGROUND

The company was formed following an MBO of a previously established business by a team of Search specialists from a leading global search firm. The business was established to provide quality delivery of key executive talent in a sector specific and a cost-effective manner to the retail & leisure industries and the VC and private equity houses that invest in those areas

THE PRODUCT

Capitis is an innovative provider of executive search, coaching & mentoring, competitor analysis and internal/external benchmarking solutions with a comprehensive network of contacts across UK and Europe. Capitis recruits Senior Management in the following disciplines:

• Finance and IT
• Operations (Retail and Supply Chain)
• Sales and Marketing

• Buying and Merchandising
• Human Resources
• Non-Executive

We can carry out Executive Search with complete discretion. The sector knowledge combined with high results-driven focus enables Capitis to offer a TWELVE-MONTH GUARANTEE PERIOD on all assignments.

THE PHILOSOPHY

Know your sector and know it well. We know where people sit and the market perception of them. Just as important, they know us. Capitis Partners focus on exceptional talent and the executives of tomorrow who are well regarded by their peer group and market place. The company thrives on change and the individuality of the people that work within it. With a methodical project-driven approach, Capitis manages all Thirty-Nine stages of a rigorous Search process ensuring complete transparency to our clients at each and every stage.

THE NETWORK

The passive network is a working process of tracking and talking to the key senior management and board level executives. Our close relationship with a small number of chosen clients enables Capitis to source key talent from a very wide pool. We NEVER have more than ten "hands off clients" in any calendar year, unlike many of the "larger" Search firms, therefore restricting the talent pool you can tap into when conducting a Search. Capitis is constantly mapping management teams through researchers and consultants, refreshing the network even when we're not retained to do so. As opposed to the usual method of only indulging in the above on receipt of the client's brief. We organise periodic events with industry bodies, client's and potential candidates.
