HW People, finding the leaders of tomorrow by using our unrivalled research, expertise and market knowledge
HW People was established with a mission to offer a radically different approach to traditional contingent recruitment in the mid-market.
Companies seek to attract the best talent, which doesn’t always sit on a database or job board, and our approach utilises executive search techniques and in-depth research methods to attract and engage the best talent in a highly competitive marketplace, to engage emerging leaders that enable our clients’ growth.

Innovation in Talent Acquisition
We work collaboratively with our clients on a retained, consultative basis, enabling them to benefit from our ability to research and source talent across disciplines, sectors and locations. Typically, we work across the £70,000 to £120,000 salary range with a variety of fee structures depending on the assignment – from a single requirement to multiple vacancy projects.
Our talent acquisition service has been adopted from HW Global’s executive search practice, using the same rigorous method, process and principles. This way we are able to uncover the hidden and best talent, not just the active talent.
Customer Service Excellence
We ensure our services are tailored to the client’s individual needs. Our approach is heavily research-based to map out target sectors and businesses that enables us to identify and engage with specific talent. Not only that, we have extensive connections and relationships at C-suite and board level giving us access to further untapped capability.
Market Sectors
We have vast experience working with clients across multiple sectors and we understand the DNA of these businesses and the role different specialisms must play, giving us an advantage when it comes to finding talent that truly fits. We really get to know our clients, gaining an insight into their business, culture and people-related challenges in order to find the optimum solution.
Experience that’s broad and deep.

Our Approach
Assignment Preparation
HW People will take full assignment briefings to encapsulate the background to the appointment and define key accountabilities, personal and experience requirements and professional qualifications.
Business Culture
We will take the time to understand your business from the inside and absorbing the culture and DNA of the working environment so that all candidates have a strong cultural alignment to ensure a long-term successful hire.
Mapping
We use every possible source of information to map, connect with, and attract appropriate talent for each brief. This involves a thorough research exercise in which our in-house research team map out target businesses, sectors and functional disciplines, to identify stand out talent.
Assessment and Shortlisting
Shortlisted candidates will have spoken to our researchers and lead consultants, before a comprehensive competency and cultural based interview to assess the candidate’s suitability, drivers and motivations.
Diversity and Inclusion
We demonstrate our commitment to DE&I through recognising this as part of our approach, ensuring we consciously and proactively apply a robust and comprehensive process to access the most diverse talent pools for every assignment.
Resignation and On-Boarding
We remain actively involved and support successful candidates through the notice period and exit process. This aspect of candidate management is critical for the success of the assignment, particularly where strong individuals have other choices. The assignment is not complete until they are fully on boarded.
We are commited to Diversity, Equality and Inclusion.
