Private Equity investment invariably means huge change for organisations – financially, structurally and culturally. Investment brings huge opportunity but also new pressures & expectations on the leadership team. Tucker Stone understands the need for an HR Leader to support, challenge and guide the CEO & their top team, as they navigate their way through the change journey. The search was thorough, professional, efficient and successful.

I’ve worked with Tucker Stone as both a client and candidate and there is a simple reason for that. As a candidate, they were one of very few recruiters who truly cared about the candidate experience, were hugely responsive and inspired trust and confidence. That’s why they were a go to person for me in finding a Head of Talent and Development for my own team. Their knowledge of the HR function goes without saying and what I really valued was their understanding of my goals, the speed of delivery, the customer focus, the diversity of thought throughout the search process, the open and honest discussions that we were able to have and of course, the end result - a great hire for my team.

I have been working with Tucker Stone for many years and they have truly outdone themselves in their most recent search for our Chief People Officer.

However, they exceeded all expectations; delivering a shortlist of candidates who met the brief and shepherding us all through the process, ensuring a successful outcome. The CEO is delighted with his new HR leader. Thank you to the whole Tucker Stone team for delivering such an exceptional piece of work. This just reinforces to me the importance of long-lasting partnerships with recruitment partners who operate with integrity.
