Estee Lauder, one of the world's leading beauty manufacturers and retailers, approached Morgan Philips Group to support their search for their next UK & Ireland HR Director.

We were selected because of our expertise and in-depth knowledge of the client culture, and our proven track record of appointing senior HR professionals.

Estee Lauder said their ideal candidate would be a strong commercial HR Director with an excellent academic background, CIPD qualifications and proven experience of leading change programmes on a large scale.

The appointment was critical to their change and growth plans, and needed to be handled discreetly in the marketplace.

We met the company to gain an even more in-depth understanding of the qualities, experience and track record they were looking for.

The team then provided a comprehensive screening and assessment process for all the candidates. It included detailed initial phone screening, a full competency-based interview, and psychometric testing (the Business Attitudes Questionnaire, or BAQ).

We eventually presented a shortlist of five candidates to Estee Lauder.

Following the rigorous process and successful appointment, Estee Lauder were impressed with the streamlined and comprehensive service we provided.
