More Than a Name

Binding is more than our founder’s surname; it reflects how we work and the values we uphold, delivering with the same precision, care, and permanence that the word ‘Binding’ has always represented.

Across industries, the term Binding takes many forms.

  • Finance & Insurance is underwriting a commitment or a ‘letter of intent’.
  • Legal refers to an agreement, decision, or obligation that is enforceable and binding.
  • Industry is the craft of stitching pieces into a seamless whole.
  • Technology connects elements with purpose.

We provide a traditional executive search approach coupled with precision proprietary technologies, giving our clients a unique advantage over the market—ensuring that they secure leaders with proven industry excellence.

Our approach is tried and trusted.

This model is our most efficient methodology for securing mid-level positions. We provide a focused and tailored approach where every candidate is profiled accurately and carefully evaluated, therefore fit for purpose.

We deliver an efficient, effective and thorough process.

We provide emerging advisory solutions to empower your organization with strategic advisory services that shape and transform your business. We provide this with the following services:

We don’t just provide you with a list of candidates. Our people are problem solvers, transition drivers and leaders in their field. They will have been rigorously researched and vetted beforehand, including a thorough interview and selection process to produce optimal results.

Clients return to us because of the high calibre candidates, strategy and service we provide. We’ve earned their trust in building the foundation of a long-term relationship. You’ll notice a difference when you bring us on board. These are just some of the benefits:

Our Exclusive Placement process is suited to clients looking to find one or more top-quality candidates for mid-senior level management positions.

Right from the get-go, you’ll notice the difference in how we work with you. From our interaction and strategic focus to our expertise and guidance, we’re confident you’ll realise that, like our network of candidates, we stand out from the pack.

We go beyond your deliverables, with a process that delves into the detail of each individual professional when seeking to fill your critical role.

So, when we present you with your candidate shortlist, we already know about their background, their aspirations, what motivates them and why they will be right for, specifically, your business. They’re maximum-potential candidates ready to make the difference.

Think of us as an extension of your team, ready to solve your problems and rise to your challenge. And at the end of the process, we expect you to be truly satisfied that we’ve found the best person available that fits into your firm, with the strongest cultural fit and the ability to add major value to your team, your department and business as a whole.

We operate a flexible approach, working hard to provide a tailored service that fits around you and your requirements.
