About Slade Partners

Slade Partners is the executive search division of the broader Slade Group, focusing on placing outstanding individuals into top level organisations.

Led by company founder Geoff Slade, our team of experienced partners regularly fill positions at the highest level including board members and chairpersons, C-level executives, senior academics and business leaders with the vision and drive to succeed. Our combination of proven search methodology and consultant specialisation perfectly positions Slade Partners to source and identify wide-ranging talent that may then be refined to a targeted short list of exceptional candidates.

Slade Partners emphasises honesty and transparency in our search activities with a particular focus on candidate care. Treating all participants in the selection process with this respect has served to foster productive relationships with contacts in a wide array of industries and positions, further enhancing our ability to track and map valuable talent.

Slade Partners operates from offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and is a key member of the global EMA Partners alliance of executive search consultancies. With a presence in more than 30 countries, access to the resources of EMA Partners provides an ability to conduct quick and effective global searches. Where other firms must spend time establishing contacts in a new market, Slade Partners draw on a ready network of like-minded search professionals.

History

The Slade Group of recruitment practices was established in 1967 by Geoff Slade, founding President of the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association and recognised leader in the Australian recruitment industry. In the more than 40 years since, Slade Partners, as the flagship division of the Slade Group, has placed a string of outstanding talent into Australia's top organisations.

Geoff Slade and Slade Group's continuous involvement and leadership in recruitment was recognised by the 2001 award of a Centenary Medal for services to the field of human resources. Geoff's passion for personal and career development continues to influence the organisation's activities; serving as the group's current chairman, he remains active in mentoring senior search consultants and passing on his wealth of executive placement experience.
