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.
We know your market, your competitors and your candidate pool from the inside.
We meet senior leaders before they're looking, so we can act quickly when you need to.
No shortcuts, no gut feel; every decision is grounded in evidence.
Complete transparency from the outset; no hidden fees or variables.
We stay accountable to the outcome, not just the brief.
