About

Building top teams since 2019.

Pearson & Partners recruits the leaders and specialists who shape organisations: for boards, executive teams and the managers who report to them. The firm has grown on repeat work, clients who come back after the first placement.

What we stand for

Principles that shape every search.

Depth.

Long shortlists are usually a sign of an unfocused process. We present a small number of considered candidates, each tested against your profile and personally championed by the consultant who introduced them.

Search starts with listening.

We build relationships with senior leaders outside the open market, often unreachable through standard channels. That trust is what makes placements work.

Up to the first working day

We stay close to client and candidate from the intake to the signed contract, and keep in touch until the start date. When onboarding begins on day one, we hand over.

Our mission

A company is as strong as its people.

So we bring the right person to the right seat, fast. We talk with client and candidate alike, because every company and every candidate is different, and a match has to work both ways.

Begin a conversation.

The most productive starting point is a thirty-minute introduction. We will listen, share what we understand of your market, and either commit to the brief or recommend a firm better placed to deliver it.
