Recruitment of Directors 

The Canadian economy is experiencing highs and lows.  Companies today are evaluated and judged by the value they create for shareholders.  Now more than ever, firms rely on governance by a strong, experienced Board of Directors.  As a result, Directors are under increasing pressure and shouldering more and more responsibility.  This makes it all the more challenging to attract the kind of Directors that make the difference at your organization. 

Board members used to play a more passive role, mainly reviewing financial results.  But today’s Director is a privileged business partner to top management, who contributes directly to creating shareholder value. 

Lacoste Executive Search has perfected a methodology that pinpoints your needs and then identifies the Director who offers the best added value and balances your Board, not only as regards expertise and geographical representation but also in terms of securing added value:

·         Analysis of corporate strategy
·         Evaluation of composition of Board of Directors
·         Review of Directors’ strengths, complementarity and vision
·         Review of the various committees and needs to be filled
·         Review of compensation policy for Directors
·         Consultation with selection committee
·         Identification of recruitment criteria: scientific or technical baggage, financing and IPO experience, knowledge of international markets, human resources, etc.
