Driving Success Through the People Agenda

With the people agenda becoming increasingly recognised as the driving force behind successful organisations, Human Resource leaders who can drive business objectives through progressive talent strategies and inclusive workplace cultures are in high demand.

Fortunately for Green Park’s clients, our consultants are experts in placing Board-ready Human Resource leaders. We have unmatched networks across the public, private and third sectors, having proactively mapped and built relationships with Human Resource Executives and their leadership pipeline for over 17 years.  

Through our executive search and interim management practices, we find both generalist and specialist talent for Human Resources roles at senior levels, often for transformational leadership roles that go beyond ‘business and usual’ requirements.

Executive Diversity Experts

Clients look to Green Park to support their push for greater inclusivity at senior levels. Working with private and listed companies, from SMEs to multinationals, and public and third sector organisations, we tap into our function and sector expertise to broaden our searches and deliver a more diverse candidate pool.

Championing diversity since our inception, we have built a reputation for our fair, ethical and inclusive practices. Candidates trust our authentic approach and expert opinion, enabling us to act as a bridge between candidates and clients in diverse markets that are otherwise fatigued by tokenistic headhunting approaches.

Similarly, our clients trust our EDI expertise, built on up-to-the-minute data and research and the lived experiences of our diverse networks. Our consultants take the time to understand the values, culture and long term goals of the organisations we represent, who trust us to act as their brand advocates when discussing roles with potential candidates.

Transformative Leadership Talent

For executive and interim roles, our extensive global candidate network gives us access to candidates who are adept at managing complex programmes, such as reward and performance, organisational development and digitalisation. By finding the most experienced individuals, we support Human Resources functions during periods of change driven predominantly by digitalisation, restructures and new working patterns.

Our team includes experts in leadership development who apply their knowledge in our candidate selection process, especially for specialist Human Resources roles. We help clients focus on Human Resources leadership talent capable of nurturing more inclusive business cultures and delivering better ‘employee experiences’.

Testimonials

"Working with Paul Bullock starts off with a heavy interview, where he basically gains as much insight into your business as possible so he not only selects the correct group of people to interview, but also sells your business to make sure all parties understand the opportunities. Every time I work with Paul he has delivered."

From start to finish, Juliet Hardingham and the Executive Search Team at Green Park were exceptional. Juliet took the time to understand the role and our organisation, delivering a strong, diverse shortlist for our Head of Government Relations and External Affairs. Her professionalism, insights, and clear communication confirmed we had chosen the right partner.

James Greenhill

Head of Global Executive Resourcing @Jacobs

David Sayers and the Private & Commercials team have for sure, been one of the best recruiting teams to work with throughout this process. The interviews were scheduled in quick succession, and I was kept in the loop throughout the hiring process. The feedback loop was smooth, and I never felt any hiccups in the process, despite there being an 8-hour time zone difference. Thank you for your support!

Uma Deepak

Senior Finance Business Partner @International Schools Partnership

We worked with Green Park to swiftly hire an interim Head of Operations. Simon Pickerell from the Executive Interim team was outstanding - he quickly understood our needs, delivered a strong and diverse shortlist over the festive period, and supported both us and the candidates throughout. Thanks to Simon, we’ve hired an experienced Head of Operations who’s a great cultural fit. Highly recommend Simon and Green Park.

"Green Park's proposal had diversity at the heart, rather than just an add on - and this gave us confidence that in working with them we would be partnering with an organisation who held the same values as our own in this area."

Claire Burles

Group People Director | Stage Coach

"Jo Sweetland of Green Park is just the best. She absolutely IS Green Park. Hard working. Super smart and understands a client’s needs. Jo has deep market relationships and superb networks. She sets the benchmark for Search in the recruitment industry. I would never hesitate to recommend Jo Sweetland to anyone. A delight to work with BUT more importantly brings the best results."

Matthew Jeffery

Head of UKI Recruitment | EY

“Working with Green Park made this important and potentially challenging appointment process smooth and easy to navigate. The recruitment professionals that they assigned to the project communicated consistently and articulately with the variety of different stakeholders involved in the process; they were sensitive but did not steer away from being honest about the difficult realities involved in this recruitment campaign which resulted in expectations being expertly managed and trust being embedded. I would highly recommend Green Park for senior executive search campaigns, especially in the culture and creative industry.”
