     About Caravel Search

    Caravel Search deals largely with the middle to senior end of the market with a focus on front and middle office positions.

    The firm has a reputation for honesty and straight-talking and we are not afraid to say 'no' if it is in the best interests of our clients.

    Our extensive network of contacts in our core markets enables us to identify and deliver talent with speed and accuracy. Caravel Search does not employ researchers as we believe our clients receive a more comprehensive service if consultants are responsible for the entire process.

    Caravel Search chooses to partner with clients who value two-way dialogue and mutually beneficial relationships. This enables us to establish our clients’ true needs and tailor an executive search or competitor intelligence service to their requirements. Our independence enables us to be truly flexible in our approach.

    We offer the same courtesy of two-way dialogue and mutually beneficial relationships to those stakeholders that see Caravel Search as a client.

    Our clients’ privacy and confidentiality are of the upmost importance to Caravel Search.

    Caravel Search provides competitor intelligence reports across our core markets.
