Your career, in experienced hands

How our process works

Ccentric is retained by organisations to find leaders for senior and board-level roles across healthcare and the broader health economy. Most of our work is confidential and relationship-led: we approach the market directly, assess candidates rigorously, and present a considered shortlist rather than a high volume of applications.

For you as a candidate, that means a smaller number of genuinely relevant conversations, handled with discretion, and honest feedback at each step.

How we handle confidentiality

Confidentiality is central to how we work, particularly for senior people who are not actively looking.

• We never share your CV or profile with a client without your express consent.
• We do not approach your current employer or referees without your agreement.
• Information you share with us is held securely and used only in connection with roles you are interested in.
• Early conversations can be entirely exploratory, and remain confidential whether or not you progress.

What to expect at each stage

1. Initial conversation. A confidential discussion about your background, what you are looking for, and whether a particular role, or our network more broadly, is a good fit.

2. Briefing. If there is a match, we brief you fully on the role, the organisation, the leadership context and the selection process, so you can decide whether to proceed.

3. Assessment. We discuss your experience in depth and, for some mandates, use structured assessment or referencing. You will always know what is involved before it happens.

4. Shortlist. With your consent, we present you to the client as part of a shortlist, with a profile that reflects your strengths accurately.

5. Client interviews. We coordinate interviews, prepare you properly, and give you candid feedback throughout.

6. References and offer. We manage referencing and support both sides through the offer stage to a fair outcome.

7. Onboarding. We stay in touch after you start, because a good appointment is one that works six and twelve months on, not just on day one.

Register or send your CV

You do not need a live role to get on our radar. If your background is relevant to the sectors we work in, we are glad to have an exploratory conversation and keep you in mind for future mandates.
