CEO MONTHLY / CEO OF THE YEAR 2022 9 CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 11 2022 9 Mar22259 CEO of the Year, 2022 – Dubai, the United Arab Emirates Established to address a prevailing global need for high quality, efficient, and effective recruitment, Redholt has developed a reputation for operating at pace and to unflappable standards. Critically, its value proposition is to elevate the quality of research used in headhunting and recruitment. In doing so, it uses a system that focuses on three different levels of value in order to ensure that the information and resulting connections it provides are sound. With plenty of experience and his wife, Amanda Redmond, supporting the growth of the business, CEO Chris Redmond has led Redholt to major success. Redholt has gained international renown for its enviable recruitment research and its central belief in robust and forensic methodologies, which is something that is maintained throughout its international searches so that it can reliably find the right people for the right job. It also strives to bring to its clients’ work is all about digital enablement. Therefore, in a world where businesses pivoting to digital operations is more and more common, it has secured itself as a front runner by having already implemented digital and remote solutions for recruitment. Redholt has been making use of video recruitment, remote psychometric evaluations, and longdistance relationship building for years. Moreover, utilising each of these processes alongside a pioneering digital shortlist methodology, it has been able to save time and money for each client by giving busy hiring managers access to candidate information via a simple URL provided via email, WhatsApp, or QR code. Once a relationship has been established and the candidates for the shortlist have been identified, said shortlist provides a spectrum of details that the client will find critical in their decision making. The team is made up of many individuals all looking to make their mark on the world, for the better, and it is obvious that Redholt is a trendsetter in the every-evolving industry. Teamwork is approached in a light-hearted and fun way – so as to build morale and inspire people to express who they are. This encourages people to work better, smarter, and with ease, rather than feeling pressured and potentially stifled. As part of the team CEO of Redholt, Chris Redmond, has a person centred leadership style that has always influenced his approach. He understands that people make mistakes and deserve the opportunity to grow from them instead of simply facing penalties. This has resulted in a company where everyone does their best to deliver, is on the same page, and allows clients the utmost peace of mind, creating accountability and excellence in the face of adversity, even in the face of challenges like the pandemic. Chris enthuses, “Each and every one of our team represent the values of the business that Amanda and I have built and invested everything in over the last six years of our life. We delegate authority, we create accountability, and we invest in training for our staff every single day. I feel as though it is incumbent on me to create an environment where people can speak freely and directly about anything relevant to the business.” Chris is also a shareholder of BobCheck.io (www.Bobcheck. io), a tracking platform for candidates’ employment histories. He is founder of www. OTTpro.io – which is made up of ground-breaking OTT specialists and consultants. Also, as the Non-Exec Director of Recruitment Entrepreneur Middle East, a private equity firm that invests in Recruitment companies Chris has worked hard to succeed – and it has truly paid off. Recruitment Entrepreneur Middle East’s chairman is James Caan (https://www.james-caan. com/), and Chris has worked alongside him to create something monumental. Chris has been determined to instil market specificity into each of the company’s offerings, resulting in services such as OTTRED. Critically, OTTRED has been created for the OTT, streaming, and broadcasting sector. With the CEO – and therefore the company – being lauded as one of the top 10 influences in the OTT sector by Fx Digital, Chris and his wife Amanda have developed a reputation for shirking the industry trend of transactional recruitment in favour of in-depth, personable, and empathic service. Crucially, such outstanding intrinsic processes have ensured it could step up to the plate for its clients in the face of high demand, and it is looking forward to diversifying and growing moving forward, with the CEO having been announced as a nonexecutive director for James Cann recruitment, something that heralds even further progress within its industry for Redholt as a company.
