At Lotus Executive Search, we bring the same human-first philosophy that has defined Lotus People since 2015 to the most senior and business-critical appointments.

Executive search, done properly, is never transactional. It requires insight, discretion and a genuine understanding of what great leadership looks like, not just on paper.

We partner with mid-market and growing organisations to appoint CEOs, CFOs, COOs, GMs, Heads of People and senior leadership teams who shape culture, performance and long-term success.

Leading our Executive Search practice is Hayley Martin, with 20 years' experience in recruitment. Hayley's approach is grounded in understanding how organisations really work, the dynamics, the decision-making, the non-negotiables, long before a search begins.

We know that executive hires rarely fail because of capability. They fail because of fit. That's why we map your culture, align your stakeholders, and identify what will truly make or break a leadership appointment before we ever go to market.
 
Our retained search model delivers an average 8-week timeline, access to passive talent, and a 6-month replacement guarantee because we're invested in getting it right, not just getting it done.

Whether you're planning a pivotal leadership hire or exploring your next executive move, we'd love to connect.
