Next Executive

Next Executive is a boutique recruitment consultancy based in Perth, specialising in executive search and permanent recruitment. It works with clients across a broad range of industries throughout Australia. The sectors it names are mining, resources and energy, transport and logistics, manufacturing, engineering, construction, accounting and finance, and sales and marketing.

Its process starts with a detailed brief, followed by agreeing the salary range, benefits and fee, a multi-channel marketing approach, candidate screening and internal interviews, and a shortlist with candidate information and recommendations. It says it assesses candidates for cultural fit as well as capability, and that its vetting includes reference checks and behavioural assessments where required. It also says it uses technology and data analytics in candidate sourcing.

The company is led by director Katherine Bowker, who has more than 20 years of experience recruiting blue and white collar personnel for a range of sectors nationally.
