For business-critical hires, we typically recommend our Partnership Fee Search approach. This provides an exclusive, dedicated search process focused on identifying, attracting, and securing the best talent available, including individuals who are not actively seeking new opportunities. It allows for deeper market mapping, stronger candidate engagement, and a recruitment process built around quality rather than speed alone.
Contingency recruitment can be a suitable option for certain roles and offers a flexible, success-based fee structure. However, where securing the very best talent is essential, a Partnership Fee Search often delivers the strongest long-term outcome.
Our team will work with you to understand your requirements and advise on the most appropriate solution for your business.
Permanent employees are long-term hires who become part of your organisation, culture, and future growth plans. They are typically the right solution when you are building capability and investing in the long-term success of your business.
Contract professionals provide specialist expertise or additional resource for a defined period, making them ideal for projects, peak workloads, maternity cover, or short-term skills gaps where flexibility is important.
Interim professionals are typically experienced leaders or subject matter experts brought into a business to deliver a specific outcome. Whether supporting transformation, managing change, leading a critical project, or covering a senior leadership gap, interim hires are focused on creating impact quickly and delivering measurable results.
Our consultants can help you determine the most appropriate solution based on your objectives, timescales, and business needs.
Permanent hiring timelines can vary depending on the role, market, and interview process, but placements with Henderson Brown typically take an average of 37 days from initial phone call with us through to offering to a candidate.
Yes. We regularly manage confidential hiring projects on behalf of our clients. Rather than advertising the opportunity publicly, we use targeted search and headhunting techniques to identify and engage suitable candidates discreetly. We manage the engagement through NDAs.
This approach is particularly effective for senior appointments, business-critical hires, succession planning, and situations where confidentiality is essential throughout the recruitment process.
