“My experience with Ben from a candidate perspective was excellent from start to finish. I received a high quality initial brief about the role from the perspective of both the business need and the opportunities the role would offer for my career progression. Throughout the process I received regular and timely feedback on the interviews and any delays that we experienced in the process ensuring my continued commitment to pursue the role. Prior to my final interview, Ben took the time to ensure that I was fully prepared, including areas to focus on during the meeting to demonstrate my fit for the role. I have always felt that Hewett recruitment are focussed on ensuring the right fit for both business and candidate, it is not just about a ‘bum on a seat’.”

What is happening in the current Executive Talent Recruitment market?

Ben Mannion, Director and Owner at Hewett Recruitment

“ Executive level employment within Herefordshire & Worcestershire has always presented an interesting point of view when considering salary and benefits. Across a region populated predominantly by SMEs, mostly on the smaller end and often owner-led, we again see a very broad range of salary offerings for senior positions. As always, this tends to tell just a small part of the story, with owners and Directors commonly rewarded further through dividends and other performance related incentives. Demand for C-Suite talent has been buoyant in 2024, as a number of local companies look at succession planning and in some instances, exit plans for founders. Looking ahead to 2025, it will be interesting to see how Exec level salaries stand up in the face of increased wage pressure caused by the next upcoming increase in the National Living Wage. This legislated pay increase, allied with the increase in Employers National Insurance, will put a significant – and unavoidable – strain on the cost bases of all employers. One way these challenges may be mitigated against is by looking at smaller percentage increases for higher paid employees, indeed it may even be that senior management receive zero increase. This has obvious impacts on employee engagement so expect to see the aforementioned performance related pay incentives come to the fore as owners and Directors look to balance their own rewards with the productivity and profitability of their businesses.”
