Success stories / Filling a Senior Operations role discreetly

Filling a Senior Operations role discreetly

When a business needed to replace its Head of Operations without alerting the incumbent or the wider team, Achieve Recruitment ran a confidential search that delivered the right candidate within six weeks.

The solution

We ran a fully confidential search — no advert, no LinkedIn post, no reference back to the client during initial conversations. Approach work was led by the founder, with longlist candidates briefed only on the role, not the business, until trust was established. Interviews were arranged off-site to maintain discretion.

The outcome

A Senior Operations leader was placed within six weeks of brief, signing under NDA before the existing incumbent’s notice was issued. The transition was managed cleanly, with no disruption to the team or external partners and the new hire is now 12 months into the role.
