The market for talent has changed.

The way that we consume news and connect with the world today has altered immeasurably since the formation of Alexander Hughes Selection in 1994. Coincidentally, this was the year that Tim Berness-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web) founded the World Wide Wed Consortium (W3C) and awareness of the internet really began to take off. The impact of the internet on recruitment since then has been immense.

When we launched Selection in 1994 Alexander Hughes was already a long-established Executive Search brand, and the proposition then was to provide an advertised recruitment solution in circumstances where Search was unlikely to be effective. This typically meant an advertisement in one of the leading nationals. Today, a straightforward advertisement in a leading journal or newspaper is just one of a number of tools we use in providing a dynamic alternative to Executive Search. For organisations seeking to engage passive and active talent, to attract candidates from diverse backgrounds, and to recruit in today's diverse and fragmented marketplaces, Alexander Hughes Selection has developed a highly effective, hybrid approach to executive sourcing.
