EXECUTIVE SEARCH

People and Partners Group is a Pan-African executive search firm. We help multinationals and Fortune 500 companies find senior leaders who can perform in complex, fast-moving markets. For over seven years, our executive search practice has focused exclusively on retained, senior-level mandates. Our focus spans FMCG, construction, mining, agriculture, and energy.

Unlike generalist recruiters, we prioritize depth over volume. First, every mandate starts with a structured briefing. This defines the leadership profile, market context, and cultural fit the role demands. Next, we map the market using our network of 100,000+ vetted senior professionals. As a result, we deliver a shortlist within 5 working days. Most searches are completed within 15 days, and we don’t cut corners to get there.

Why Clients Stay With Us

Our clients stay because the placements last. We maintain a 98% retention rate across completed searches. In addition, every placement is backed by a 1-year+ free replacement guarantee. Because of this combination of speed and durability, multinationals across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and the wider continent trust us with roles they can’t afford to get wrong.

We work across industries where leadership gaps carry real risk. For example, FMCG businesses manage distribution complexity, while construction and heavy industry firms scale infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, agriculture, mining, and energy companies navigate regulatory and workforce challenges unique to African markets. So our sector depth means we already understand the pressures your next leader will face.

Beyond search itself, we also support clients with compensation benchmarking, salary surveys, and onboarding guidance. This ensures the leader we place is set up to succeed and stay.
