ABOUT US

Hemford Brooks is an industry-leading executive search firm specialising in management consulting. We work with professionals from top tier consultancies, in-house practices and boutique firms and pride ourselves on being front runners in candidate centricity.

Led by ex-Consulting Partner Keith Conway, we are preferred and top suppliers to a number of the Big4 across the UK and Asia, as well as a range of niche consultancies, public and private sector clients. Our market-leading conversion rate is achieved through a knowledge-based approach that fosters long-term relationships with both our candidates and clients. These relationships allow us to work seamlessly at the highest levels of both consulting and industry, where we place candidates at all grades with competencies ranging from strategy through to change and operational effectiveness, human capital and technology.

Hemford Brooks is founded on three core principles:

KNOWLEDGE

We believe that it is learning all there is to know about our clients and candidates that enables us to provide our recognised quality of service. We meet with our clients on a regular basis, which ensures a complete and precise understanding of their needs and allows us to present a bespoke selection of candidates to support their requirements.

MENTORING

We provide an unrivalled preparation process for our candidates by using our comprehensive knowledge base to thoroughly brief all candidates through every stage of their interview process. Whether it be an informal coffee or a final stage meeting with a Partner, candidates will receive invaluable insights into the interview process itself and the wider workings of the company.

RELATIONSHIPS

We truly value our clients and candidates and are passionate about fostering long-term relationships, evidenced by the fact that all our current clients have come to us through recommendations. We also remain in contact with candidates beyond their start dates in order to ensure a successful and enjoyable transition.

We are proud to champion Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace and we are committed to cultivating an inclusive leadership within our organisation and for our clients. In addition, our MD Keith Conway is a key advisor to social justice groups and start-ups, which has gained support from both the British government and the White House and which led him to meeting the then President of the United States, Barack Obama.
