Placement of a Partner and Head of Audit & Accounts, Large Independent, Midlands
Overview:
The candidate in question was a partner at a national practice considering a move, however they were unsure exactly how they would go about making the transition to another firm.
Process:
Adlestrop took the time to find out the candidate’s ambitions and reasons for wanting to explore new opportunities. From this, they were then able to tailor advice and market knowledge to suit the candidate’s personality and situation.
“When I first met Adlestrop, I was considering a move, but was unsure how I would find a new firm with the right culture and ambitions. Adlestrop were enormously helpful with their insights to the local marketplace.”
When exploring opportunities with the candidate, it was important that Adlestrop provided the right amount of support, ensuring that they worked at a pace that was right for them.

“Adlestrop was a sounding board for me throughout the process, and I had every confidence that they would work with me to find the right opportunity. I found it helpful to share with Adlestrop my reasons for considering a move. During the early stages of the process they were a ‘sounding board’ and I appreciated the time they spent with me, both on the telephone and over our regular coffees. They took the time to properly understand my reasons for considering a move and applied this to their search for an appropriate firm.”
Through a series of successful meetings and interviews, the candidate received an offer from a firm of their choice and with the help of Adlestrop they were able to negotiate terms and communications regarding the starting date.
