Board Services

Corporate Governance has long been regarded as the yardstick. However, the regulatory environment has become more complex than ever before, impacting the non-executive role on listed boards; in particular, the role of the Chairman. As a result, boards have increasingly sought executive search firms such as Parsity Group to help advise on the Chair recruitment market. Our prowess in this space led our team to conduct an increasing number of Chair searches in 2018 and 2019, reflecting excellent client confidence in our competence and network.

Our global candidate pool reflects our total commitment to boardroom diversity.

As we continue to grow we will continue in our efforts to support our clients navigate through the dynamic challenges boards face in the future.
