Two recent appointments, each delivered within five weeks of the initial brief.
Client names are withheld to protect confidentiality.
A search multiple agencies had already tried.
An Irish multidisciplinary engineering and environmental consultancy had an Associate Director, Structural position open for more than six months. Multiple agencies had already worked the brief. The market for structural leadership at that level in Ireland is exceptionally tight, and the same small pool of names had been circulated without result.
Tallann didn’t repeat the search. We re-mapped it. That meant identifying who held the required calibre across the wider market, including people who weren’t looking and had never been approached.
Outcome From initial brief to signed contract in five weeks.
A national remit from a regional base.
A Waikato-based civil and infrastructure contractor, delivering projects across New Zealand, needed a Senior Engineering Manager to lead technical delivery nationally. National scope and a base outside the main centres narrowed the addressable market considerably.
Tallann mapped the discipline, not the postcode. We identified the right technical and leadership calibre across the wider civil and water infrastructure sector, then tested willingness to relocate against the strength of the opportunity.
Outcome From initial brief to signed contract in four weeks.
Discuss whether RPM is the right structure.
The next step is a single conversation, not a proposal.
