Relaxation is also important. Our teams regularly get together socially and there are numerous occasions across the year to let our hair down including the Summer and Christmas parties, inter-team sporting activities, and charity initiatives.

People Development

We invest heavily in your career aspirations to maximise your potential and ensure a long and rewarding career.

Whether you’re just starting out or are more experienced, you have access to bespoke training and guidance to help you grow both personally and professionally as you progress through the business.

Our training programmes are designed specifically for the stage you are at in your career, whether as an associate, mid-level, or senior management, and many of our Managing Directors have worked their way up through the organisation from associate level.

If you’re just starting your career, our associate programme will motivate, challenge, and ultimately equip you with all the skills required to become a successful search consultant or researcher. Developed in conjunction with the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants, you’ll earn the industry-recognised Certification in Executive Research (CER).

As well as regular development opportunities, you also benefit from quarterly and annual appraisals, where you can set and agree your objectives, discuss your progression, and celebrate your achievements.

From day one you’ll be assigned a buddy to support your orientation into your new team and the business. You will also be assigned a mentor if you want – typically a senior member of staff from a different team who will provide you with guidance, share their own experiences and learnings and advise you on how to navigate your career.

Your physical and mental wellbeing matters, so our benefits package includes:
  • Flexible working
  • private medical plans
  • eye-care vouchers
  • a cycle-to-work scheme
  • discounted gym memberships
  • Employee Assistance Programme (subject to location).
  • Two volunteering days for community and charity partnerships
