FINDING THAT EXECUTIVE WHO FITS, LIKE A  GRAIN OF SAND, INTO AN IMPECCABLY FORMED DUNE.

about us

AT ONE(n²a), WE VIEW EACH ORGANISATION LIKE A SAND DUNE, MADE UP OF TINY PARTS THAT SOMEHOW FORM A PERFECT UNIT. TINY PARTS IDENTICAL ON THE SURFACE YET TOTALLY UNIQUE.

Each grain appears identical to the untrained eye, but under a microscope we realise that, just like people, there are no two alike.

Executive search can seem a bit like sHifting through sand. The differences seem infinitesimally small, and the quest for that perfect particle is impacted by a host of ever-sifting variables.

Allow us to search through a vast desert for you, until we are sure, beyond a reasonable doubt, that we have found you the perfect executive. one in a billion, one of a kind.

BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT

In executive search, at times, whether candidates on a shortlist will live up to their promise and fit seamlessly within your organisation is left largely up to chance.

In starting ONE(n²a) we asked ourselves how we can go about reducing any uncertainty that can potentially plague the executive search process.

We answered this question with BEYOND™,  
a scientifically proven process that achieves an over 90% correlation between predicted and actual team success.

How does it work?

We measure what can't be faked, focussing on a person's unique attributes and instincts, as well as how they do what they do..

We reverse the standard executive search process.

First, we assess your organisation by looking at leaders and the team the talent would work alongside, to make sure their personality and working style are compatible.

This is because research shows that unsuccessful placements are rarely due to a candidate’s skillset or level of experience, but more commonly due to clashes in working style and company culture.

Then our profiler, one of only 20 in the world, develops a portrait of the perfect candidate that goes well beyond just skills and experience.

It includes personality archetypes and leadership attributes required to complement the existing team.

Only then do we do what others call

“executive search”

Testing and retesting to fit with the criteria.

Using this methodology we don’t just match you with someone who we believe there is probable cause for you to hire.

We empower you with all the information you need to make your decision beyond a reasonable doubt.

Your decision about that executive who will fit into your organisation like an infinitesimal grain of sand, into an impeccably formed dune.

Nathan Byrne

Recruitment is my needle, passion is my thread and each day is an exciting weave.   When the work costume is on, it is helping people grow whether here or abroad.  Always being available, always listening and always trying to improve. 

But there are many other fun costumes to wear: passionate family man / lion tamer, global explorer, local lycra rider and passionately frustrated Geelong supporter.   As Jon Bon Jovi once said while living on a prayer… “Nothing is as important as passion.  No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate”.

Relentless optimist, compulsive multitasker (some might say delegator), never happier than on the phone, fanatical vitamin consumer. Still expecting to be drafted by the Hawks, but until such time , full time father of four, recruiter, investor in people. Believes recruitment is a noble profession and done well, enables companies to transform and people to thrive.

Quote to live by, “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt.

Milo Wilkinson

A woman of contrasts. ruthless investigator but a gentle mother.

The seeker of truth but considers the discomfort it brings.
Is a mother of two, the lucky wife of her hero and lives each day for a belly laugh by all.

Is admired by some, but intellectually feared by others.
Is desensitised by crime but can cry at the sight of a puppy.
Is innately professional, but can create mischief like a 15 year old.
Can create discomfort in others to help them find comfort in their truth.

Holds up the mirror to psychology, but creates a safe space to look.
Believes the truth sits in the 5th question you ask.
Is highly academic but her soul is spiritual.

Is happy, is kind, is mischievous, is peaceful… Is whole.
