About us

Catalyst Search & Selection, part of Catalyst Business Dynamics Ltd, (a successful assessment, placement and training organisation) is a leading specialist recruitment practice that handles recruitment assignments across all business sectors both nationally and internationally. Our aim is to work closely with our clients and candidates in understanding their needs for growth and development. We have established a reputation of integrity and trust. We are not simply a CV fodder service, we have devised a rigorous assessment process to identify and match the skills and attitude required to match the needs of our growing client base - we choose to work closely with our clients and candidates on an individual basis, by appointing a Partner/Senior consultant to handle your instructions.

Simply put, our business mission is to find the right candidate for the right company by matching talent, values and aspirations.

What makes us different?

We are a proactive and high-achieving specialist recruitment practice whose aim is to be the best in its class. Through our innovative approach involving a full range of integrated services including Profiling & Coaching, we aim to consistently exceed your expectations. Our highly experienced recruitment team are not just recruitment processors but successful individuals drawn from the world of business with a broad spectrum of corporate business experience to call upon.  This, we believe, differentiates us from our competitors as they are able to see more than just a fee when instructed.

Profiling

Catalyst Search & Selection is one of the very few recruitment consultancies to be equipped in-house with the professional profiling system Belbin®, as we have been accredited assessors for over 5 years now, which provides comprehensive behavioural profiles for both candidates and clients.

Our team uses Belbin® Team Role Analysis output in the screening and interviewing process to analyse candidates’ behavioural patterns and to determine how their personality will match up to the job requirements and job description. This is part and parcel of our end-to-end recruitment offering and the services we provide to clients for analysis of jobs and roles, team profiles, managing, training, coaching and selling.

Whilst we are equipped with up-to-the-minute software, our consultants ensure that this forms only a part of their interaction with candidate and client. Equally important is the time spent listening to clients’ requirements and gaining an intimate and accurate picture of the company structure, its vision and aims for the future. This feedback is then applied to the meticulous matching of candidates and leads to our delivery of a perfect talent match for the job.

Coaching

Coaching also forms part of our integrated recruitment service. It has become one of the most widely used resources for executive development in high profile organisations and is regarded as a powerful tool, either for those requiring support in raising their performance standards or those on a fast track management scheme.

Research shows that coaching can deliver more effective measurable business results than conventional classroom training. Clients who have invested in coaching have reported less damaging and time-consuming conflict in the boardroom and in the office, higher achievement levels, increased organisational strength and improved cost effectiveness leading to maximum productivity, not only at executive level but throughout the entire organisation.

With a combination of profiling and coaching, we can help contribute to the future success of your company.
