We recently worked with Calibre One on an important hire within our executive team, and I was hugely impressed from start to finish. From understanding what we needed, accessing the very best talent in the market and managing the process with great efficiency and precision, what Calibre One delivered was exceptional.
Hayden Wood
Founder
Calibre One came highly recommended through our board and so my expectations were quite high going into the engagement. I can safely say James and the team exceeded all expectations – their delivery, speed and attention to detail throughout the process ranked as the best experience I have had dealing with any third-party supplier/ consultant let alone a search firm.
Dugald Macdonald
Founder & CEO
We appointed Calibre One to support on our SVP Engineering search. We were impressed with their ability to produce a diverse slate of candidates both in Europe and the US and we couldn’t have been happier to appoint a US based Engineering leader who is having a huge impact. The team worked with pace and diligence and communication was clear, concise, and straightforward throughout, it was a thoroughly enjoyable process, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.
Rich Waldron
Co-Founder and CEO
We initially retained Calibre One to identify a Chief Digital Officer to lead the digital transformation of BP. Calibre One managed a quick and efficient global search process that delivered a strong diverse shortlist of candidates from which we were able to make a great hire. They have since gone on to manage a number of other digital leadership searches across the organisation in Europe and the US, with great success. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Scott Lavers
Talent Acquisition Director
We have worked with Calibre One a number of times on Board and CEO searches and they have done a great job for us every time. Their ability to search internationally in order to produce a diverse shortlist and deliver strong candidates that were previously unknown to us, is very impressive and they have become a valued strategic partner to our firm
Simon Hitchcock
Managing Partner
I’ve been lucky enough to be a client of Calibre One on both sides of the service. I found them to be very helpful in finding the company that best fit me, as well as placing senior talent for me at that same company. I’ve met very few organisations with a greater attention to detail or professionalism. In fact, during one Search for Grapeshot – where I was placed by C1 as CTO – we were acquired by Oracle. Calibre One were able to adapt to the change in circumstances, and still closed the preferred candidate. Impressive.
