Loftus Bradford Executive Search

At Loftus Bradford Executive Search, we believe that cultural fit is the secret sauce in creating the right match between talent and organizations. Technical fit, experience and expertise are also important, however cultural fit is the true game-changer for long-term success. When talent resonates and connects with the company's values, culture and behaviours, they’re happier, more engaged, and more likely to be successful. The proof is in the data and our stats; 86% of our candidates placed are still within our clients' organizations over the last 7 years, and 92% were promoted within 24 months. We attribute this to the deep cultural fit assessment in our interviews. All of our shortlisted candidates have a deep cultural fit interview and assessment with the senior leaders in our client services team, and even if they are the perfect match on paper, we would not progress unless we feel they are spot on from a cultural fit perspective. At Loftus Bradford Executive Search, cultural fit isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the backbone of our success. By making it a priority, we help build cohesive, high-performing teams that stand the test of time. Join us in fostering workplaces where everyone can thrive. Let’s make cultural fit the foundation of our collective success! #CulturalFit #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceSuccess #LoftusBradford

Last month, our Managing Partner opened up the All Hands meeting by quoting Ryan Halliday from his book Courage is Calling that according to him: "Courage is not the absence of fear but the mastery of it, transforming fear into action and obstacles into opportunities." 🌄 👉 Why Courage Matters: Take Risks: Innovate and explore new possibilities. Voice Ideas: Share creative solutions. Challenge the Status Quo: Drive progress and improvement. When leaders and employees embrace courage, resilience and excellence thrive, driving us toward sustained success. At Loftus Bradford, we never, ever, ever give up. We keep going, we uncover every stone, and we consistently keep the bar high to ensure we bring the best talents to our client's organizations. With preparation and a bias for action, and being courageous, we are able to best serve our clients. 🚀 #Leadership #LifeAtLoftusBradford #Courage #RyanHoliday #ProfessionalGrowth

We were excited to see the 2024 Gartner Supply Chain Top 25, and some of our most esteemed clients and candidates within our Supply Chain practice are leading the way! But what sets these top performers apart? A recent article from Gartner highlights three key success drivers: 👥 Put People First to Attract and Engage Supply Chain Talent: Demographic shifts are intensifying talent competition and changing work preferences. Leading companies invest in people-centric strategies, using AI to redesign processes, reduce work friction, and enhance learning and development. They focus on respect, recognition, autonomy, flexibility, and accelerating cultural transformation through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). 🤖 Realize Productivity and Process Transformation Through AI-Driven Advances: Generative AI (GenAI) and established AI techniques, such as machine learning, are transforming supply chain processes. Top companies balance these technologies to enhance supply chain visibility and efficiency. They leverage their strong digital foundations to build practical AI use cases while preparing their workforce for future AI applications. 🔗 Go Beyond Supply Chain Resiliency to Achieve Competitive Advantage: In a volatile and complex environment, the top supply chains move beyond resiliency to become antifragile. They use AI to understand and leverage uncertainty, making more informed decisions about resources and investments. This approach helps them achieve their objectives despite disruptions, with a focus on decentralized decision-making supported by automation. At the heart of this transformation is the circular economy. By embracing recycling, part harvesting, and remanufacturing, manufacturers are building adaptable and sustainable supply chains. By adopting these strategies, leaders can transition their organizations to more sustainable, resilient, and circular supply chains, ultimately driving long-term value and competitiveness. Congrats again to our network for leading the way forward in this highly important and strategic function!
