All Ink-lusive FAQs
What does it mean to be a purpose led business?
Your company’s purpose is bigger than its product or service and is shaped by the desire to positively impact the planet and society.
What is a carbon footprint?
This is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, group, community or organisation.
What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?
Greenhouse gas emissions are broken down into three categories to help us understand where they came from:
- Scope 1 includes the direct emissions from the activities of company owned resources
- Scope 2 includes the indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy from a utility provider
- Scope 3 includes all the indirect emissions not included in Scope 2 that occurs in a company’s value chain
What is carbon offsetting?
This allows you to invest in local and international environmental projects that balance your carbon footprint, either individual or as a business.
What is Carbon Neutral?
Being carbon neutral relates to the balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon. To therefore achieve carbon neutral status, your company has to create a carbon reduction plan, measuring and reducing operational carbon, the purchase golden standard offsets equivalent to your carbon footprint.
How do I certify as being Carbon Neutral?
PAS 2060 is the specification by the British Standards Institution that details how to demonstrate carbon neutrality. Out lovely friends at Planet Mark will be able to support you through this process brilliantly.
What is Net Zero?
This means achieving a balance between the carbon emitted into the atmosphere, and the carbon removed from it. This balance – or net zero – will happen when the amount of carbon we add to the atmosphere is no more than the amount removed. True Net Zero is therefore about reducing emissions to a minimum and balancing anything we do emit by removing carbon from the atmosphere using carbon sinks or carbon storage technology.
So what is the difference between carbon neutral and net zero?
Carbon-neutral means purchasing carbon reduction credits equivalent to emissions released, without the need for emissions reductions to have taken place. Net zero means reducing emissions in line with latest climate science, and balancing remaining residual emissions through carbon removal credits.
What are the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
These are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals. These are as follows:

- Goal 17: Partnerships For The Goals - Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development
What is a Decade of Action?
In a bid to accelerate sustainable solutions to all the world’s biggest challenges, the Secretary General of the United Nations called on all sectors of society in 2019 to mobilise and deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, through a decade of ambitious action. The focus was laid out on three levels:
- Global Action by aiming to lead in terms of policy and providing the resources to do so.
- Local Action which will see policies enacted by organisation such as governments and local authorities.
- People Action which focuses on the ground level choices and decisions the public makes individually.

What is Executive Search Recruitment?
Executive Search focuses on finding and placing executive/senior leadership in key positions (up to Board level) usually with a growth, change or transformation agenda. It requires a tailored and professional approach across a very specific network of relevant talent. Search incorporates an in-depth, targeted approach utilising specialist and innovative technologies and expertise to source and engage talent that can deliver on the strategic objectives and needs of the business. Executive Search will usually incorporate some form of Psychometric or behavioural psychologist assessment within the process or prior to an offer.
Why use Executive Search?
Executive Search is best used where a business needs a specialist and professional service that will guarantee the delivery of a suitable hire for the position required. It is often used where a business critical hire is needed usually at a senior leadership or board level. It can be used to embed an operationally efficient and highly professional process that reduces commercial downtime of your existing leadership or can be used to keep a particular senior leadership hire confidential.
Some organisations will also move to Search where the traditional contingent recruitment methods have failed to produce a suitable candidate, however this is not recommended as often candidates can be put off by a poor inefficient process. Typically you would use an Executive Search campaign where the position is both a senior leadership role and would be classified as a 'business critical' hire from a technical, specialist or experience perspective. Equally it can be used where you wish to attract talent that sits outside of your traditional industry networks or specialisms.
What's the difference between Executive Search and Headhunting?
Typically Recruitment forms the broader and most common classification around hiring talent and is typically associated with low to senior level contingency hiring; paying for the service only once a suitable applicant is hired and starts. Headhunting is the term used for proactively mapping, selecting and approaching potential talent in a way that engages and appeals to their interest and opens them up to further conversations. Executive Search is the holistic term that incorporates a full workflow of systems, technology, expertise, networks and information to provide a highly powerful, targeted and professional service and talent experience that is reflective of the hiring business, it's people, culture , values and purpose. Executive Search will also involve a contractual appointment of a professional Search business and the relevant partner/consultant who is best placed to source and deliver on the job or role brief. Typically this is managed exclusively and through a retained structure where you pay for the services you require up front.
What types of Executive Search services do you offer?
We offer various Executive Search solutions to meet the needs and budgets of our clients. These include traditional Retained Search for single permanent and/or interim appointments; Chief, Director, Specialist, project-based search for scaling or building leadership for Projects, Change or Transformation requirements and finally Team Search which is useful for business that are required to scale at pace.
What industries do you specialise in?
We have expertise in various industries, including technology, finance, healthcare, energy, retail, and more. We can tailor our approach to your specific sector and its unique challenges.
What's your typical search process?
Our process starts with gathering the information we require. This includes understanding your company culture, strategy, vision, purpose, needs, and desired candidate profile. We need to understand what is great, good and not so good about your business. Where you can improve and what you do great. We want to know how you support and develop your people and the aspects of your business that will appeal and attract world class talent to want to join you. We will want to get to know you and everything about the opportunity we will present to potential hires. We then employ a combination of research methodologies, networking, innovative search technologies and targeted outreach to identify and contact potential candidates. We then spend time getting to understand them before presenting the opportunity to attract and engage their interest. Through subsequent meetings and calls we then build a rapport and understanding to enable us to assess all potential candidates before moving to a shortlist of suitably qualified individuals. We then present these back to you with some commentary usually in person or virtually with a view to setting up initial discussions/meetings/interviews. We manage the process from inception to offer, start date and beyond ensuring you have the right information you need at every stage of the process.
What are your fees?
Our fees vary depending on the scope of the search, client type (Seed start up, series funded, VC/PE Backed, SME, National, Global, Not for Profit/Charity etc) and the level of the position. We offer transparent and competitive fixed price and % margin fee structures/pricing (Typically 20% to 30%) and payments that can be structured to meet the needs of your business.
How can I be considered for an Executive Search position?
We encourage you to contact us directly initially for an informal discussion. If happy we would register your profile on our website and provide you with some helpful advice to maximize your visibility to the wider market. We actively search for top talent in various sectors and may have something to discuss immediately or could reach out to you directly if your profile aligns with an open position in the future.

What should I expect during the Executive Search process?
The process can in some cases take several months to complete or could move very quickly so ensure you communicate the timelines you are working to and prepare to offer some flexibility. You can expect to receive clear and constructive feedback throughout the process and prepare to be open and transparent about all aspects of your career or personal life/attributes that are important. You can expect to be supported and provided with lots of insight and advice at every stage. You can expect regular phone calls, video and face to face meetings both with your Search Consultant and various client contacts. You may be asked to be available outside of core working hours, travel anywhere in the UK or Globally to attend key meetings/interviews.
