Hunston Grove is built on shared expertise, values, 
and a singular commitment to placing senior leaders 
who are set up to succeed.

Formed through the merger of two specialist practices, we have deep roots in executive search across the consulting, technology and professional services sectors.

Our Search & Succeed™ methodology is the product of decades of combined experience, an understanding of
what makes a great senior hire, and a determination to do things differently. It brings together deep sector knowledge, active professional networks, behavioural science and dedicated onboarding support.

Structured process

No shortcuts, no gut feel; every decision is grounded in evidence.

Our Values

We're judged by what happens next.

Any firm can fill a role. We measure our work by whether that leader is still thriving a year later, performing, contributing, and building something that lasts.

Our Values

Depth, not breadth.

We'd rather be the firm that knows your sector inside out than the one that claims to cover everything. That focus is what makes our shortlists sharper and our advice worth trusting.

Our Values

We meet leaders long before they're looking.

When the right role appears, we already know the right people. We build relationships with senior consultants and leaders year-round, through events, conversations, and industry engagement.

Our Values

A hire isn't successful until the leader is.

Placement is the first milestone. We stay invested in every hire after the contract is signed, remaining by your side as they’re integrated.

Our Values

Instinct is useful. Evidence is better.

Our methodology is rigorous, built around our extensive experience, but grounded in behavioural science, psychometric assessment, and structured evaluation.

Our Insights

Stay informed with our latest insights, hiring trends, and industry expertise. Discover practical advice, market updates, and thought leadership designed to help employers attract top talent and candidates navigate an ever-evolving job market.
