CHRO Executive Search

Powering organisational transformation with strategic HR leaders

In today's environment, HR leaders have been elevated to the C-suite, with people strategy fundamental to business performance. We recognise that an effective Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) is more than leading a support function; it is critical to every organisation's success.

Allura Partners Executive Search team specialises in appointing CHROs with a track record in corporate and ASX-listed companies, private equity firms, and their portfolio companies.

Effective CHROs who possess strong commercial acumen and can build people strategies that directly support organisational objectives. Our expertise lies in identifying HR leaders with exceptional learning agility who can navigate complex challenges while keeping people at the organisation's heart.

For corporates, we focus on engaging experienced CHROs who can strategically align human capital with business objectives, then work with them to build teams of outstanding HR professionals.

In founder-led businesses transitioning to private equity ownership, we recognise the importance of emotional intelligence. The ideal CHRO must work effectively with all stakeholders while establishing the governance systems necessary to scale.

For smaller growing businesses, we connect organisations with experienced HR executives who work on an interim or fractional basis to establish essential HR foundations. These leaders implement governance frameworks, develop compliant policies, and build appropriate systems while the business scales. Once foundations are established, we can help them to build a team as the organisation grows.
