Richard Wilson

Richard has worked on clients’ interim management needs since 2001, specialising in this type of executive recruitment after an earlier career in search and selection for many years.

“Everyone…on both sides of the deal…has their own motivations, preferences, skills, aspirations and foibles. Achieving the right match is about lots of issues but ultimately it comes down to two people and do they click? To get it right, all parties have to invest time to meet and tune in.”

“Whatever type of interim executive is required I will have access to a wide variety of potential candidates. To do the job properly I have to make a choice. I can only do that if I have met the decision makers, got a feel for their working environment, understand their issues and sensitivities and have a clear idea of what success means to them in terms of the particular assignment. Sitting at a desk, sending CVs provides no kind of service.”

“My clients range across all sorts of sectors and vary in size and ownership. I’m always intrigued and fascinated by what they do and how they do it.”

David Hay

David works in partnership with PILOTinterim working on both interim and permanent executive appointments.

David has been a recruiter in the UK since the 1980s, following an earlier career in high technology sales. His recruitment career began with PA Consulting Group, firstly as an IT recruiter, later managing the consultancy’s recruitment activities in the Midlands, the South West of England and Wales.

He left the corporate world behind in 1995 to found his own firm operating an extremely flexible business model. The firm specialises in recruiting in the UK for small, ambitious overseas companies seeking to set up a UK or European operation and for start-ups.

Leveraging extensive experience of and contacts in the UK and international recruitment businesses, David provides a single point of contact for all of a client’s UK recruitment needs, from shop floor to board room and cross sector.

David says: “Interim executives play a crucial role in the start-up and early stages of an inward investment project, when companies have need for high-level, specialist skills to ensure rapid ‘go to market’. On occasions, there is the opportunity to extend this into a longer term advisory and/or mentoring relationship.

The combination of PILOT’s impressive track record in Interim placements and David’s expertise in rapid Search & Selection services for permanent appointments is a powerful combination for ambitious companies at any stage of their development”.
