Not been in the "Executive job market" for some 17 years now as have progressed with same company.

Looking to move now, so where is the best place to start ?

Previously always found the Sunday Times and Telegraph on a Thursday good.

Is it all online now ?

Can anyone recommend any good London Agencies ?

Looking forward to some PH pointers.

As ever, the more information you can provide the better the responses are likely to be. For example: current remuneration package; desired remuneration package; any location constraints; current industry; preferred industry; preferred role; current most senior qualifications; etc, etc, etc. Good luck!

A lot of it is online now. Linkedin is a good starting point just to put your name about. I don't expect salary details but if you give an idea of the type of role and industry you are interested maybe we could try and help.

I found the telegraph jobs site quite useful for executive jobs: https://jobs.telegraph.co.uk/content/executive/

I spent 6 months speaking to key agents in my area and slowly they started to call me when they had roles which suited my skills. It helped that I had a strong linked in profile as they and their researchers could look me up easily. regular contact with these people was key in getting some interviews. I've recently moved jobs and am still getting calls about other role, but it's this group of contact which has found me the opportunities. Some of the agents have told me that at a senior level, 75-80% are not advertised (I don't know how true this is)
