NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS IN SHORT SUPPLY
There is a shortage of senior candidates in construction looking for non-executive director ( NED ) positions , says an online recruitment platform .
Despite people in the sector having the skills , talent and experience to offer boards , currently just 2 % of the NonExecutiveDirectors . com 6,000 strong database , actively looking for roles , are working or have worked in construction . CEO of NonExecutiveDirectors . com , Matthew Roberts , said : “ We want more people from this sector to sign up . Perhaps they think they don ’ t have the skills required for a non-executive director , but being on a board is very much about the behaviours and attributes they display like confidence , self-control and the ability to challenge or support .” According to the NonExecutiveDirectors . com database , a typical NED is a 57-year-old male based in the south east of England , with 14 years ’ experience as an executive . The areas from which there are the highest number of candidates putting themselves forward for NED roles are publishing and media ( 19 %), charity / not for profit ( 13 %), and greentech / cleantech ( 13 %). From 4,819 male and 1,065 female members a mere 18 % are women , despite the fact that boards would benefit hugely from their ability to bring different perspectives . Matthew concludes : “ The gist of the feedback we ’ ve been given is that females still have a perception of ‘ cronyism ’ and boardroom politics at this level , and that many intermediaries helping find non-exec positions are also male , which they can find off-putting .”
