About Us

Rob Andrews - CEO

We started Lauder Beaumont Associates in 2004 with a clear mission to provide a service that could help hiring managers make better hiring decisions.

Since then it has evolved into a hiring process that can claim a 86% success rate over the past six years and a business that can offer a 100% guarantee of success or we do the search again for nothing.

The Lauder Beaumont ethos was born of a frustration we had when seeking the help of the Executive Search industry to find the right candidates.

We were staggered by what we found. “The suit, tie and polished shoes were largely impeccable but the same could not be said for their empathy, business understanding or grasp of my requirement…”

What wasn’t being done properly in the industry has driven the evolution and development of the 8-phase Lauder Beaumont Hiring Management System™.

It’s what sets us apart

The Lauder Beaumont Hiring Management System™ has a very detailed assessment process, specifically designed to find out why the client is looking and what they are really looking for.

The candidate assessment is similarly unique because we don’t look where or how everyone else does. Our candidate profiling is also out of the ordinary and helps to turn up extraordinary people.

Our interview approach enables us to give employers a good idea of how the candidates might do the job before they get the job. And our offer management process not only helps to ensure the employer has made the right choice, but that the candidate has also selected the right job.

And finally our Performance Agreement helps both parties to ensure expectations on both sides have the best chance of being met.

This clear strategy has helped to make Lauder Beaumont Associates stand out from the crowd

“…The biggest challenge has been working with hiring managers to help them make better hiring decisions… this has been a steeper learning curve but we have been tackling this issue every day for 5 years now and I believe what we do here really sets us apart.”

Rob Andrews enjoyed a successful corporate career before he founded Lauder Beaumont Associates. By his mid-20s he was managing a team of 70 and regularly hiring people for executive positions.

“My own success or failure was dependent on having the right people around me and I had a strong feeling that a great attitude and my gut feel for key hiring decisions wasn’t going to cut it any longer.”

Rob didn’t realise it at the time but this was the catalyst for him entering the Executive Search Industry some years later.

“I had discovered first-hand that the hiring processes used by most companies didn’t seem to be very reliable for making great hiring decisions and that there was an entire industry out there who paid little attention to this issue or indeed my requirement.”

We believe we now have the right approach and processes in place to enable you to make better hiring decisions, so much so that we’ll guarantee the success or we will do the search again for no additional fee.
