AMTIL partnered with FindStaff’s Executive Search Team to identify and secure the right CEO. FindStaff adopted a multifaceted approach to ensure a comprehensive and targeted search:

Candidate Targeting:

Candidate Targeting involved leveraging extensive networks in the manufacturing, technology, and government sectors. The role was promoted through relevant platforms and LinkedIn to attract active candidates.

Headhunting & Passive Candidate Search:

For Headhunting and Passive Candidate Search, direct outreach was made to influential leaders with experience in manufacturing and government. Referrals from industry contacts and tools like LinkedIn Recruiter and FindStaff’s database were used to identify suitable candidates.

Screening & Shortlisting:

During Screening and Shortlisting, candidates were rigorously evaluated to ensure they met AMTIL’s technical and strategic criteria. The focus was on those who could foster government relationships, secure funding, and bring leadership experience from the intersection of technology and manufacturing. Visionary thinking aligned with AMTIL’s growth and innovation goals was also essential.

FindStaff bespoke executive search process enabled AMTIL to secure an exceptional CEO who will drive the organisation’s strategic initiatives and build on its role as a leader in the Australian manufacturing technology space. This engagement exemplifies FindStaff commitment to delivering tailored solutions and matching the right talent with organisational needs, ensuring long-term success for both the client and the candidate.
