AMA Talent Executives

AMA Talent Executives has gone INTERNATIONAL. Today we've made our first placement outside of the United Kingdom, in none other than the wonderful region of Dubai UAE. We're committed to challenging the status quo of what quality search services look like not only at home but also abroad. We look forward to many more of these placements in the future.

AMA Talent is pleased to announce it's first Contractor placement for an Associate Change Lead for a Global Management Consulting firm. Although this isn't our typical placement, we were excited to solve a problematic bind a client was experiencing where a quick turnaround was needed. Contract Desk is now open for business. Whether you're looking for a long term permanent engagement or for a quick solution. We're pleased to say we can now engage in both!

NEW EXECUTIVE ALERT! AMA Talent is keen to welcome Wolf Wilson to the Team as a Principal for the firm. He will be working with our Partnership to establish a more robust client base in the US Management Consulting market. His combined skills of placement delivery and business development will enhance the firms goals for 2025.

What is the biggest problem for Management Consulting Partners and Business Leaders currently? Talking with a business yesterday the answer became very clear as two fold. 1. High attrition in middle management and especially top performers that can secure new opportunities with competitors 2. A costly and underutilised bench of 2021 junior hires that have neither the capability nor desire to win business during this time period. The forecast for this market indicates a desirable candidate as someone who can win new business and pull a bunch of staff off the bench for projects. Meanwhile smaller boutique practices are picking up these middle management candidates promising more control over their work and an improved company culture without needing to compete on salary. If you're a Manager or Senior Manager in this market at the moment, it's a good time for you.

Ask the right questions! Seems like an obvious statement, but one that we're hearing is a massive pain point when it comes to prospective conversations with new businesses and they're relationship with current PSL agencies. Apparently it seems obvious to a client when you are reading from a script, attempting to get all the questions on a form answered, even if completely irrelevant. What is the solution when training new staff as obviously, "you'll get the hang of it with time" doesn't really stack up either. An interesting thought for a Thursday morning...
