"Seed Knowledge Capital (SKC Future Enterprises - the Parent Company of Extraordinary Outcomes Executive Search) have been working with us on the development of a Quality Assurance Programme, which involved the development of Standard Operating Procedures for every department, conducting Staff Training Workshops and the development of an Online SOP Library. Concurrently we also engaged with EO Executive Search to search for an Executive Sous Chef and later an Executive Chef - owing to their intimate understanding of Members Clubs and Hotels as well as their reputation in the marketplace. The team delivered exceptional results in a very short time-frame, and this first experience of partnering with SKC will certainly ensure that we'll partner with them again when we have needs in the future."

"EO Executive Search were retained by the Hebe Haven Yacht Club for two critical assignments - Club General Manager, and Club Human Resources Manager. EOES were retained after an extensive selection process with Members of the General Committee involved. During the selection process, EOES invested significant time with us to gain a detailed understanding of the Club's operations, key people, committees, culture, and history. EOES prepared comprehensive and descriptive Opportunity Profiles (extended job descriptions) for each position, both of which presented the Club in an engaging manner whilst being fully transparent about the unique challenges of each role.
EOES conducted thorough research and due diligence in the local and international market before presenting us with several well-qualified and suitable candidates for each role. EOES aided us through the final selection process and assisted with the compensation package negotiations. We are delighted that both the General Manager and the Human Resources Manager have settled in very well to their respective roles and are making significant improvements to the Club."

"I was introduced to Scott through a mutual friend in the hospitality industry - someone who he had placed through his Executive Search firm. At the time I was seeking a career move and so I booked a one-hour session with Scott where he provided me with some amazing insights and advice gained from more than a decade of experience in the Executive Search industry. After following his advice, a couple of months later and I was working for the very same company that I had expressed a desire to work with. I can highly recommend his career consulting services."
