Senior Executive Next Steps (SENS)
Purposeful, strategic career management for seasoned leaders.
Why choose SENS?
Why 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.
