Four ways we place senior people
From a single permanent hire to a confidential board search — one senior consultant, start to finish. No junior screeners, no databases dressed up as a shortlist.
Permanent Placement
Our flagship service and the heart of the firm. Direct, permanent hires for roles from £45k to £250k+, filled at a median of 28 days and with 86% of placements still in role at 18 months. Always free for candidates.
Interim & Contract
Day-rate specialists and interim leaders, mobilised in days for 3–18 month engagements. Cover, turnaround and transformation.
Executive Search
Retained, discreet search for board and C-suite appointments. Mapped markets, referenced shortlists, pricing on request.
Three steps. One point of contact.
Whether you are hiring or looking, you work with one senior consultant from first call to signed offer.
A proper conversation
A senior consultant learns what you actually want next — not just what your CV says you've done.
Only the right doors
We put you forward for roles worth your time, brief you fully, and never send your details anywhere without your say-so.
Offer & beyond
We handle the negotiation, help you resign well, and stay in touch long after you start. All at no cost to you.
Understand the role
We meet the hiring manager, understand the team and the target, and agree a realistic timeline and shortlist.
A referenced shortlist
We map the market and present three to five genuinely qualified, referenced candidates — a median of 28 days.
Offer & onboard
We manage offers, counter-offers and notice periods, backed by our rebate & replacement scheme.
Where we go deep
Financial controllers to CFOs; front, middle and back office across the City and beyond.
Engineering, product, data and digital leadership for scale-ups and enterprises alike.
Pharma, biotech, medtech and healthcare — commercial, clinical and operational.
Private practice and in-house counsel, from newly-qualified to General Counsel.
Revenue leaders, business development and brand — the people who bring the growth.
Managing directors, C-suite and non-executive appointments, handled with discretion.
A few roles we're working on
A snapshot of live mandates. See the full board, or tell us what you're after.
A partner, not a database
Senior consultants only
Every search is run by someone with nine or more years in the market. No junior screeners, no handoffs.
Free for candidates
We are paid by employers. Candidates never pay us a penny — for placement or coaching. Ever.
The roles you won't see
More than half of what we place is never advertised. A conversation with us opens doors job boards can't.
28-day median
A shortlist worth reading, fast. We move at the pace good candidates and good businesses need.
Rebate & replacement
If a permanent hire leaves within 12 weeks, our tapered rebate and free replacement search protect you.
Data you can trust
ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and ICO-registered. Your search — and your privacy — handled properly.
"They didn't send a stack of CVs. They sent three people who could genuinely do the job — and the one we hired is now on our board."
What people say
"The first recruiter who actually understood a finance function. My CFO move happened in five weeks."
"Honest, quick and genuinely senior. They talked me out of a role that wasn't right — and found me a better one."
"We've hired eleven people through Garrick in two years. The shortlists are short because they're right."
