The Problem Every Global Business Faces
You need to hire a director in Australia. Your team is in the US and UK. Suddenly, a simple interview becomes a nightmare of scheduling across three time zones.
We've all been there. You find the perfect candidate, but getting everyone on the same call feels impossible. Someone always ends up on a 6 AM meeting or staying late for a 10 PM call. And it's not just one call - it's every conversation throughout the entire search process.
The real problem isn't the inconvenience. It's what happens next. Candidates get frustrated with the delays and poor communication. They start looking elsewhere. Meanwhile, your business is losing money every day that critical role stays empty. Every week without the right leadership means missed opportunities, delayed decisions, and reduced productivity.
The Old Way Was Broken
Most global searches follow the same painful pattern. You spend more time coordinating schedules than actually evaluating talent. Your team burns out from constant late-night calls and early-morning meetings. Candidates lose interest because responses are slow and the process feels disjointed.
The worst part? You often end up settling for someone who's available rather than someone who's ideal. Your perfect candidate accepted another offer whilst you were still trying to find a time that worked for everyone. This isn't just frustrating, it's costing your business the talent it needs to grow.
How LCR x ELR Changes Everything
Here's what happens when you work with our partnership. You brief us on your Australian director role at 2 PM London time. By the time you're having your morning coffee the next day, our Sydney team has already contacted candidates, conducted initial screenings, and prepared detailed updates for your review.
You get progress reports instead of midnight meetings. Candidates receive quick responses because there's always someone available in their time zone. Decisions happen faster because we coordinate everything behind the scenes. Your search finishes 40% quicker, and everyone involved has a better experience.
The difference is simple: your search never stops, but your evening calls do.
How Our Alliance Works
LCR handles all European and American markets, whilst ELR manages Asia-Pacific regions.
But from your perspective, it's one seamless process. We work from shared briefs and unified standards, so the quality and approach remain consistent regardless of which team is handling each part of the search.
This isn't just about convenience – it's about accessing the best talent wherever they are.
Our combined network spans all major fresh produce markets globally, giving you access to candidates you simply couldn't reach before.
What This Means for Your Next Search
The practical benefits are immediate and obvious. No more scheduling headaches trying to coordinate calls across multiple continents. No more candidates dropping out because of poor communication timing. No more extended search periods because half your stakeholders are asleep when decisions need to be made.
But the advantage runs deeper. Whilst your competitors are still struggling with time zone logistics, you're securing top talent efficiently and professionally. In fresh produce, where timing is everything and seasonal demands create urgency, this advantage becomes critical.
You can't afford to miss planting seasons or harvest windows because your key leadership hire got delayed by coordination challenges.
