Biography:

Peter is Chairman of the Association of Executive Recruiters. 

In 1994, Peter Rodgers established a specialist management consultancy and by 1997, this had developed into a fully functional retained search firm. 

Trading as Rodgers Associates, he established affiliate organisations in New York and Sydney and pioneered specialist search training which in 2001 led to the formation of the Pure Search Company.

Currently, Peter divides his time. He develops and delivers executive search training for the REC and its Specialist Group, the Association of Executive Recruiters (AER) but continues to operate as a niche retained search consultant.

In 2006, Peter joined the Executive Committee of the AER responsible for standards and training and in May 2008 was elected to the Chair.

He sees part of his role during his occupancy of the position as increasing awareness of Executive Search in a market where clients increasingly appear to be unsure of what recruitment services they are being sold and where an increasing number of consultants are selling services that they are unqualified to deliver.
