Digital Leadership Recruitment

At the leadership levels, digital fluency is about the comfort to leverage technology for strategic gains.

Digital fluency leads to increased performance and revenue. However over 70% of digital transformations fail. According to research the major reason is the lack of senior leadership to oversee and steward the digital transformation efforts.

Bricoleur can help you find strategic talent, having implemented placements like Managing Director, Regional Head of Digital, Regional Head of Client Service, Regional Head of Planning and Regional Head of Product. Our track record includes:

  • High retention and interview rates
  • Almost half  the placements being women, many in leadership roles
  • Recognition at Asia Recruitment Awards for Best Client Experience and Best Candidate Experience
  • Top 500 SME in Singapore

Evidence Led Consulting

Evidence Led Consulting

We offer evidence based consulting. We look at existing data from people analytics and other data related to the team and organisation, to analyse and connect the dots. We then execute customised qualitative research if needed to fill gaps to complete our understanding before developing the way forward.

Leadership Stay Interview

Leadership Stay Interview

Just like everyone else leaders too have had ‘Covid Clarity’ as a result of the pandemic. CEO attrition has increased and research is indicating that over 70% of senior executives are thinking of resigning.

The challenges of a VUCA world combined with changes in expectations of different stakeholders has created unprecedented stress for leaders who are also expected to inspire by example. To address this, we have developed a Leadership Stay Interview process to address potential burnout and attrition before it’s too late.

Strategic Exit Interview

Strategic Exit Interview

Exit interviews that go much deeper. We deploy qualitative research and look for patterns. To get real insight, use an objective third party like the Bricoleur Consulting team to make strategic use of your exit interview findings. Unearth what people are really thinking and feeling; go beyond the rational responses that you see in survey after survey. Tap into the underlying feelings and patterns.

Testimonials

We engaged Bricoleur to conduct a comprehensive interview with our 2nd line executives to understand their motivations to unleash their potential and get their feedback on our company’s growth trajectory since our inception 4 years ago. We wanted to understand their perspectives on our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, as well as their suggestions for improvement and innovation.

'Real' Insight can Move the Needle

The evolution of HR to incorporate People Analytics tools has dramatically changed people practices in many organisations. With this evolution there has been an emphasis on quantification of people related aspects. While extremely useful, the picture can get clearer in two ways to get to ‘real’ insight:

1. Qualitative research to get to the ‘why’ in any issue. For example in the case of DEI, when after years of trying to actively move the needle on improving inclusion when you hit a roadblock, qualitative research  can help you look behind the numbers to see what’s going on inside people’s heads. Qualitative research and its various methodologies can be instrumental in behaviour change to help develop a more diverse leadership pipeline.

2. We are deluged with data today.We help connect the data points from different sources both quantitative and qualitative. Making sense of it requires sifting through the peripheral to get to the nub of an issue.

No HR plan, especially when looking at engagement and burnout related issues, is complete without delving deeper, into the feelings, emotions and perceptions of the people involved. Qualitative research methodologies are designed to tap into those. After all, neuroscience research shows that 90-95% of all our decisions are emotional, not rational.
