Senior Executive Next Steps (SENS)

Purposeful, strategic career management for seasoned leaders.

Why choose SENS?

Our extensive experience in executive search has revealed several key insights:

  • Winning through storytelling: For senior leadership roles, the final shortlist often comprises candidates with similarly high levels of skills and experience. Those who succeed are the ones who can best articulate their narrative, establish strong connections, and leave decision-makers eager to learn more.
  • Clarity drives success: Candidates who know precisely what they want—whether it’s targeting a specific company or role, and understanding their unique contributions—tend to stand out. They receive quicker feedback and make a stronger impression in the hiring process.
  • Job hunting is not second nature: Even senior executives can be unpracticed at job searching. Lack of market knowledge and self-awareness often leads to unfocused efforts, longer searches (averaging 6-12 months), and mounting frustration. This can erode confidence in one’s abilities.
  • Facing reality is essential: For experienced leaders looking to pivot or advance their careers, it's vital to have an objective assessment of their current situation, recognize barriers, and spot missed opportunities.

Who Is SENS For?

Senior Executive Next Steps (SENS) is designed to address these challenges for executives who:
  • Seek not only economic but also psychological success in their next role,
  • Are committed to evolving their skillset and enhancing their leadership competencies,
  • Are exploring career transitions but lack a clear direction,
  • Are reflecting on their professional journey and how much they’ve invested in growth and development,
  • Wish to maintain momentum and pursue their passion with renewed purpose.

What Does SENS Offer?

SENS is delivered in two tailored formats:

  • The INTERVENTION Program: Focused on fast-tracking re-employment. This includes refining your Resume, LinkedIn profile, Personal Biogram, and providing tailored interview preparation.
  • The STRATEGY Program: Geared towards long-term career development. This includes identifying key career drivers, enhancing core competencies, and familiarizing candidates with modern job search strategies.

How Does It Work?

The SENS process begins with a comprehensive analysis of your current situation, based on the documents and insights you provide. Our seasoned career consultants will then conduct an initial consultation to define the scope of support and desired outcomes. The number of sessions is flexible and determined by your individual needs and the agreed-upon scope of assistance.
