Why Executive Intelligence Group?

Who we are

After almost 20 years in executive search and recruitment, working primarily to the Commonwealth government, Executive Intelligence Group has developed our signature style of professionalism, efficiency and, most importantly, judgement and insight.

Our team brings a value to executive recruitment that far exceeds the assignment fee and the process itself. We fundamentally believe in helping organisations succeed and understand this can only be achieved by employing, and contracting the right people. For you, Executive Intelligence Group is the right partner to help with this.

Why we are different

Executive Intelligence Group is not a standard executive search and recruitment agency:

We specialise in senior executive assignments for the Commonwealth. This market is different and requires a nuanced approach that we intimately understand not only from a candidate perspective but also what senior decision makers, and selection panels, need to make informed merit based decisions.
The ‘human touch’ is paramount to our assignments and we strike the right balance between appropriate automation of our processes and personal contact with clients and candidates.
Our candidates are as important as our clients.
We exceed expectations on timelines and never disappoint or delay.
We exercise astute judgement.
We don’t shy away from the hard conversations.
We provide faultless administrative support.
We use a custom built online application system ‘Insight’ or departmental systems as required.

Our capability

We have completed numerous senior, complex recruitment assignments across government and worked in almost every agency. Specifically, we have managed SES Band 1, SES Band 2 and SES Band 3 recruitment assignments involving thousands of applications and assisted with numerous statutory and Agency heads and other high-level appointments. We are uniquely positioned to manage both bulk recruitment rounds and single or specialist roles including, but not limited to, finance, IT, HR, communications, policy, program, national security, CEOs/equivalent, cyber, security, law enforcement, research, data and corporate. We have an extensive list of specific assignments we have undertaken and can provide these on request.

Repeat clients

Importantly, most of our Commonwealth work comes from repeat clients who understand the level of support, advice and market intelligence from Executive Intelligence Group is unmatched.

Over the last 24 months, 49 of our assignments have been for 6 Commonwealth agencies.
