OCT Associates is a specialist in executive search and selection, as well as assessment and benchmarking of senior leadership teams. We also provide outplacement and career transition support to individuals making significant career moves.

Executive search & selection
We provide a full range of executive search and advertised selection services to organisations that need a flexible and client-focused approach to making senior appointments.

Assessment & benchmarking
Our services combine psychometric profiling with market knowledge gained through long experience in senior executive search across a wide range of industry sectors. This service can be either in support of senior recruitment or of wider talent and corporate performance initiatives.

Outplacement & career transition support
We support senior managers and executives as they face significant career decisions – typically involving major changes in industry sectors, roles or working patterns. Our input includes career planning, campaign management, help with CV writing and interview preparation. Outplacement support is provided individually to senior executives. We also run career change workshops for groups, usually in support of corporate restructuring.

Specialist areas
Our executive search and selection service covers the full range of management functions and we maintain a specialist interest in Government Affairs and Corporate Security. We are always pleased to hear from senior people operating in these fields.
