ABOUT MAYFIELD

At Mayfield we are passionate about delivering valued management level recruitment services to our clients.

We believe undertaking recruitment is more than matching skills with vacancies, it’s about matching attitudes to values, and behaviours to performance. Our expertise enables our clients to build management teams which not only possess the appropriate skills, but reflect the positive behaviours, necessary to deliver their strategic objectives.

Our methodology enables Mayfield to identify talented individuals appropriate to our client’s positions. We perform behavioural assessments on our assignments, enabling our clients to make informed choices with their hiring decisions, regardless of sector or location.

This is demonstrated by the wide range of appointments the Mayfield team has fulfilled.

These include:

CEO – Trade organization
Managing Director – Engineering business
Group HR Director – Oil service company
European Business Development Manager – IT consultancy
Chief Finance Officer – Drilling contractor
Head of Performance – Government agency

THE PROCESS

By combining the most advanced search techniques with industry leading selection tools, Mayfield has the capability to identify, verify, assess and successfully appoint high achievers appropriate for our client’s organisations. Crucially we are:

Prepared

Mayfield understands each recruitment campaign is unique, that is why we spend time with our clients during the early stages of each assignment to understand their organisation and their expectations for the new appointment. This consultation exercise clearly establishes the search scope and selection criteria for the project. A timetable is then agreed and delivered against.

Transparent

Mayfield operates an open book policy which includes regular progress reports detailing pertinent information regarding the candidate research exercise. During the selection process Mayfield works with its clients establishing the core behaviours to be assessed and providing detailed reports once the assessments have been undertaken.

Accessible

During each assignment our clients are allocated a Project Lead who will be the main interface through-out the recruitment exercise. The Project Lead is available 24/7 partnering with their clients ensuring Mayfield is aligned with expectations, providing reassurance and clarification when required.

Diligent

At Mayfield our main focus is delivering the best possible service for our clients. Our processes are not only market leading but comprehensive and thorough in its delivery. This ensures no stone is left un-turned, and all assignments are undertaken to the highest possible standard.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Despite being based in Denver my contact at Mayfield was always available to take my call and provided regular feedback during the entire recruitment exercise. Mayfield produced an exhaustive list of potential candidates during the mapping process, and provided insightful reports on short listed candidates. Such was the quality of candidates we could have recruited any of the final 3 interviewed. I also received excellent support from Mayfield during the offer negotiation for the preferred candidate.

I have used the services of Mayfield in sourcing senior staff for Commercial and Procurement roles. On all occasions, I have found Mayfield to provide an excellent service. Mayfield consultants take the time to fully understand the requirement at the outset to build a comprehensive role profile. They are then able to add real value to the search process by only proposing suitable candidates who match those requirements.

Mayfield care about the long term client relationship, and make a point of staying in contact after placing a candidate so they can ensure expectations have been met, and also take on board any lessons learned which will help for any future placements.
