Head of Talent Acquisition
Pierre Watson
Head of Talent Acquisition
Pierre is Head of Talent Acquisition. That is, sourcing and acquiring talented individuals for your law firm. He focuses on bespoke headhunting in the legal sector, senior-level executive search, coaching and selection, and has over 15 years’ experience in enabling clients to secure the right professionals for their businesses.
His approach steers away from traditional recruiting methods, for example, tending not to be candidate CV-centric, in order to seek 'deep dive' insights into career thinking from those legal professionals with a track record and an established following. The method is discreet and sometimes a little 'off the wall', as the best results originate from relaxed and informal conversations with potential hires.
Pierre is happy to talk on the telephone, or in person, to explore your options in facilitating your firm’s growth plans through the addition of key people and he can be contacted at pierre@acquiraps.co.uk.
