The work
A retained executive search assignment to source a CIO to be based at JCB’s global headquarters in Uttoxeter.
This was a complex project. We used a combination of headhunting, social media sourcing, and traditional advertising to identify the best available talent from both the active and passive candidate markets.
After a very comprehensive screening process and several interview rounds we placed two people, one to head up internal IT and the other to take control of JCB’s digital services.
ABPM have also recruited for JCB for a number of years in various finance roles.
Key Placements:
- Global Head of IT
- Director of Digital Innovation
- Senior Financial Controller/Commercial
