JML Executive Search

JML Executive Search provides Executive Recruitment and Outsourced Human Resources Services for Financial Institutions and Industrial Companies. Services are focused towards Nordic based clients with interest primarily in the UK, Europe and US regions.

JML Executive Search is based in the City of London and was founded in 1999 by Juha-Matti Lampola and Tony Willis. JML consultants are located throughout the regions it serves and it has a wide international network of associations and partnership.

The core business is mostly Executive Recruitment. JML specialises in the recruitment of senior managers and executives, and also project manages the recruitment of large teams of people when companies are expanding and growing their operations. A typical case would be the recruitment of the senior management team for a Nordic company entering the UK market, then to recruit the respective department of people necessary to make the venture succesful.

This would be as a staged process involving Human Resources Consultancy and advice on structure, employee teams, legal employer obligations in the UK as well as the practical issues of planning to ensure the necessary people structures are in the place at the right time to ensure the milestones in the business plan are met.

In this respect JML’s advice can be of key importance in the early stages of the business planning process. This avoids untested assumptions being included in the plan which can lead to short term expedient decisions being made to correct the situation later on. A pertiment example for a company entering the UK is often an underestimation of the time it takes to recruit a quality team of people.

JML’s Recruitment and Human Recources services are not just targeted to growth situations. The company is also involved with companies undergoing acquisition, restructure and redirection which often involves specialist Recruitment and Human Resource services such as Personnel Audits.

This way JML is positioned to be a valued partner in the board room as well as taking on board ad hoc assignment and projects for its clients.

JML’s strength is its flexibility and thorough knowledge of its focus countries and industries. Unlike many large international consultancy firms the Nordic region is a core rather than marginal area of business. The services delivered are robust and of high quality. A nominated consultant is appointed as ”Programme Manager” in charge of all inputs which will satisfy a particular client’s needs.
