We are intentionally different, and we seek to add value through our creative thinking, original research, compelling advocacy and exceptional candidate care. These are the hallmarks of Perrett Laver’s approach. We understand how to engage with candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds, how to advocate persuasively and authentically on behalf of our clients, and ultimately how to create the conditions in which the best candidates are 44% willing and able to engage meaningfully with an appointment of our appointments process. This requires considerable care, professionalism, last year were empathy and tenacity. female We are proud of our work in the global schools sector. 33% Our significant presence in the UK market has seen us appointed from advise on 20 Bursar and equivalent searches in the last two outside of the years alone, and we are increasingly partnering with sector international schools on Bursar and equivalent searches. We highlight in this brochure the ways in which we look to add value in Bursar appointments, together with our full track record and outline appointment process. Global Schools Practice, Bursar Appointments | 2 Working in Partnership We are proud of the long-term client relationships we have built over the last seven years and highlighted here are four examples of successful Bursar assignments which have resulted from – or led to – other assignments.
