In today's episode I'm bringing you a talent-focused conversation for executives who are aiming to hire - and for executives looking to manage their own career development. I'm delighted to be interviewing two executive search experts - Leathwaite's co-founder, James Rust, and his colleague Gordon Stanley who focuses on marketing, product, sales, and CEO hiring.

Both individuals are enormously experienced in the business of (international) executive search - Gordon actually placed me in a number of roles and James has overseen the development of many of Leathwaite's newest service offerings across the years.

Together they were a fantastic team and in the episode, we explore the hiring trends they're seeing in the market, some of the approaches they recommend for attracting and securing international talent, and we also touch upon what you should be doing to move your career forward.

Reach out to James (LinkedIn) and Gordon (LinkedIn) via their LinkedIn profiles and of course you can find out more about the company at http://www.leathwaite.com.
