Leadership Consultant jobs

You have built a successful career in recruitment.

Now you are looking for something more strategic, more consultative, and more impactful.

At Faststream Recruitment and GOOSE Recruitment, you will work on exclusively retained executive search assignments, helping shipping companies, cruise lines, shipbuilders, airlines, and aviation businesses appoint CEOs, board members, and senior leadership teams around the world.

This is an opportunity to move from high-volume contingent recruitment to low-volume, high-value executive search.

No maritime or aviation experience is required.

• Deeper relationships with CEOs, boards, and investors
• Exclusively retained assignments
• Fewer, higher-value mandates
• Greater professional prestige
• International search opportunities
• The opportunity to become a trusted adviser to senior leaders
• Higher earnings potential

If this resonates with you, this could be the next step in your career.
