Learn More What we do Executive Search & Assessment Stirling Hunter was founded as an executive search firm, this remains a cornerstone of our business. Our executive search services are tailored to each client's unique situation, whether you're a regulated bank needing FCA-approved directors, a PE firm building a portfolio company C-suite, or a family business planning founder succession. Our task is to identify, evaluate, attract and help to develop extraordinary culturally aligned executives who will drive new levels of organisational performance for your short and long-term growth. Recent placements include CFOs for fintech scale-ups, Managing Directors for PE portfolio companies, and C-suite executives for regulated financial services firms. Project Recruitment Our "search class" project recruitment expertise aligns high calibre professional and technical talent needs with business strategies. We seamlessly help organisations meet target hiring goals across the full spectrum of the recruiting and resourcing life cycle. From attraction and engagement, to development and retention, we deliver without compromising candidate quality and provide meaningful reductions in both the cost and time to hire. When candidates are thoroughly assessed and culturally aligned, the benefits are clear: fewer interviews, fewer rejected offers, and significantly less management time spent on recruitment. Succession Planning All organisations lose good people, whether it’s for personal or professional reasons, planned or unplanned. The loss of talented employees can leave a large gap and brings periods of uncertainty, change and turbulence. Succession planning ensures an organisation remains ready to continue growing and performing by minimising the impact of losing key talent and leaders. We help build coordinated succession strategies that connect the assessment and development of internal and external candidates with your goals and culture. When working with early stage or family businesses, our consultants help align the founders or family, the board and management with the succession planning process. We can further advise on wider board composition including adding independent directors to a board. This can offer much-needed experience and objectivity when it comes to the planning and the assessment of succession candidates in family businesses. Background Screening Background screening has become a crucial step in the hiring process, enabling employers to make informed decisions about who they are hiring. We can deliver a variety of employment screening and background checks including Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), legal and regulatory referencing (SMCR), online verification and Right to Work checks and executive digital profiling.

< Back Could golf make your employees happier and healthier? David T 17 Feb 2025 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Why golf is a fantastic way to manage workplace stress and improve health and wellness. Golf is more than a game for retirees and the rich, the sport has a much broader appeal and diverse range of participants than is commonly perceived. Those outside the sport may not realise that golf is one of the very best activities for increasing overall physical and mental health and can increase your life expectancy. The R&A’s 2020 Golf and Health report featured a scientific study conducted in Sweden that showed golfers live an average of five years longer than non-golfers. Mental Relaxation & Stress Relief Being Outdoors: Golf courses offer fresh air, green spaces, and peaceful surroundings, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Mindfulness & Focus: Golf requires concentration, keeping you in the moment and helping to clear your mind from work-related worries. Social Interaction: Playing with colleagues or friends encourages social bonding, reducing feelings of isolation and workplace tension. Physical Activity & Health Benefits Exercise Without Strain: Walking the course, swinging, and carrying a bag provide low-impact exercise that boosts endorphins and reduces anxiety. Heart Health & Energy Levels: Regular golf helps improve cardiovascular fitness, leading to better energy levels and stress management. Mental Resilience & Work Performance Improved Decision-Making: Golf requires strategic thinking and patience, which translate into better problem-solving at work. Increased Productivity: A refreshed and de-stressed mind improves focus, creativity, and efficiency in the workplace. Work-Life Balance Time to Unplug: Golf encourages stepping away from screens and workplace pressures, helping prevent burnout. Fun & Enjoyment: Engaging in an activity you enjoy enhances overall happiness, improving your approach to both work and personal life. By combining exercise, fresh air, social interaction, and mental stimulation, golf serves as an excellent stress reliever, helping professionals stay balanced and perform at their best. The R&A Golf and Health Report (2016-20) can be viewed here. Previous Next
