Sam Eveleigh began working in executive search in 1995 primarily for a London-based headhunter on a range of top level executive searches for positions in general management, sales and marketing across a wide range of sectors including consumer goods, retail, conferencing, publishing, etc.
More recently Sam has worked for various clients for both headhunters and directly for blue chip companies on numerous assignments in construction, rail, property development, consumer goods, etc. at a variety of salary levels ranging from £35K to £250K across numerous different functions. Sam is used to working on top Board level assignments, but also enjoys working at lower levels. Sam has also been involved in business development and staff training for another headhunter.
Sam is particularly interested in understanding client companies in depth, finding a good fit of candidates' characters with company culture as well as focussing on the usual skill set, experience, etc. Sam enjoys building a long term commitment with clients and through this providing a thorough and effective service.
At Ridge Research we have established relationships with other experienced professional research associates who we work closely with on assignments. At all times confidentiality and professionalism is given the highest priority.
