Welcome to Burden Dare

Burden Dare provides Executive Recruitment and Board Support Services to the top four tiers of large companies or organisations.  

Our core Executive Recruitment services include providing interim managers and permanent senior executives or directors where salaries are the equivalent of £80K p.a. or upwards. 

Our Board Support Services include finding the right Non-Executive Director for your business, and executive Coaching or Mentoring, and Business Consultancy.

Our network provides close links to a number of partner Venture Capitalists and Private Equity firms, as well as other professional advisers giving us an ability to support all companies with a turnover upwards of about  £20m

We pride ourselves in providing a personalised service to clients, specialising in finding the right people for roles that may sometimes be difficult to fill.

We have a broad base of loyal clients and a network of over 5,500 board and senior interim management executives.

We source candidates for a wide variety of roles including:

• CEO/ Chairman / NED
• Turnaround Practitioners
• MD / Managing Director
• CFO / Finance Director / Financial Controller 
• COO /Manufacturing Director
• Commercial Director/Marketing Director/Sales Director
• Other Functional Directors
• CIO / IT Director
• Human Resources 
• Logistics Director / Purchasing / Procurement
• Change Management Executives
• Programme and Project Management Executives

85% of our business is either repeat or referral. By building up a detailed knowledge of the types of people and management styles that are successful for each client, we identify candidates with the potential to succeed across all business disciplines, so when a skills shortage is identified we can greatly reduce recruitment timescales for both interim and permanent placements. Our clients can simply concentrate on defining the skills they need and the length of time they need them, while Burden Dare puts our experience and that of our candidates to work on our clients’ behalf.

Driven by market request, and in addition to traditional pricing and service recruitment models, Burden Dare also offers a unique pricing model tailored to individual client needs. We will:

• agree an annual fee to cover an approximate number of executive level roles with an appropriate mixture of interim and permanent candidates, 
• defer our part of our fees until our candidates have proved their success, or 
• even take shares in lieu of some fees.  In this way, salary negotiations are only vested in our client’s best interests.
