For Clients
Senior Automotive Search, Done Right
We work exclusively with organisations at the top of the European automotive sector, and exclusively on searches at director level and above.
Our Clients
Who We Work With
OEMs and National Sales Companies
Market entries, leadership transitions, commercial restructuring, and the succession challenges that come with scale.
Importers and Distributors
Country heads, commercial directors, and senior operations leaders who can navigate both the brand and the market.
Dealer Groups
Regional and national groups with 20 or more locations, seeking senior leaders with the commercial acumen to operate at that level.
Mobility and EV Companies
Emerging players who need leadership that understands automotive heritage and the pace of change.
Tier 1 Suppliers
Sector-adjacent organisations where deep automotive knowledge at senior level makes a measurable difference.
Fleet and Leasing Businesses
Organisations navigating the shift to mobility-as-a-service and electrification at leadership level.
Our executive search work is director-level and above. For broader ongoing needs, we also offer an AI Talent Partner model for continuous talent pipelines and embedded recruitment support.
Searches We Conduct
The Roles We Fill
We place leaders in roles that shape the direction of automotive organisations. If your search does not fit neatly into one of these titles, that is not a reason not to call us.
Our Process
What to Expect
Briefing
A confidential conversation to understand your organisation, the challenge you are solving, and what the right leader looks like. No charge for this.
Search Strategy
We define the target profile together, agree the timeline, and map the market using AI-augmented market mapping to extend our reach without losing precision.
Candidate Identification
Direct, confidential outreach. Your vacancy will not be advertised. You will not receive CVs from candidates who applied online.
Assessment
We meet every candidate personally. We assess capability, leadership approach, and organisational fit. We decline to present candidates we cannot personally endorse.
Shortlist Presentation
Typically three to five candidates, each with a detailed brief. We walk you through our assessment and recommendation.
Interviews and Decision
We support the full interview process, provide structured reference checks, and advise on offer strategy until the appointment is finalised.
Engagement
How We Engage
Executive Search
Bullion Talent works on a retained basis for senior leadership searches. We do not operate on a contingency or no-cure, no-pay model.
Retained search allows us to commit fully to your assignment, dedicating the time, research, and senior attention that a leadership search at this level requires. Senior executives respond to a personal, purposeful approach — not speculative outreach from firms running fifteen searches simultaneously.
We discuss commercial terms directly as part of the briefing process.
AI Talent Partner
For organisations with ongoing or multi-role hiring needs, we offer an AI Talent Partner engagement. You get a dedicated talent partner, a predictable monthly structure, and a continuous pipeline of qualified candidates.
The AI Talent Partner model is a separate, complementary service for clients who need scale, speed, and consistency across broader hiring — without the cost of building an entire internal function.
Begin Your Search
The best candidates are not waiting on job boards. They are in roles, performing well, and open to the right conversation — if approached correctly, at the right time, by the right person. That is what we do.
