Before we begin
What you may want to know.
How is retained search different from recruitment?
Retained search is a dedicated, research-led mandate. It maps the market, approaches leaders directly and assesses candidates against an agreed scorecard.
Who pays for the search?
The appointing organisation pays Hennessey. Candidates are never charged a fee.
Where do you operate?
Hennessey is based in the UK and supports appointments across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific through its network.
How do candidates introduce themselves?
Email a concise career summary or CV with the role types, situations and geographies you would consider.
How is confidentiality protected?
Information is shared on a need-to-know basis. Communication and disclosure requirements are agreed at the start of each search.
Do you advertise every opportunity?
No. Some mandates remain confidential, so candidates are welcome to build a relationship before a suitable role appears.
