Welcome to the Spear’s ranking of the best recruitment consultants for senior executives, wealth managers and family offices in the UK. The list features our Top Recommended advisers 

For senior executives, wealth managers and family offices, finding the right role can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The same can be true for organisations in search of highly specialised and expert hires and high net worth households looking for trustworthy household staff. This year Spear’s welcomes Lucy Challenger of Polo & Tweed, experts in finding the right people to run an HNW home, and Paul Avon of True House Partners, enormously experienced executive recruitment consultants whose area of expertise stretches from Europe to the Far East.

These advisers are able to dip deep into the talent pool to source specific individuals relating to a client’s precise set of requirements. The best recruitment consultants can even exceed expectations by taking into account the development of the talent in question, ensuring that they are a solid investment for years to come.

Spear’s publishes annual rankings of the top private client advisers and service providers to HNWs. These are drawn up on the basis of peer nominations, client feedback, telephone and face-to-face interviews, data supplied by firms, as well as information gathered by the Spear’s editorial and research teams.

The recruitment consultants featured are included in the table below, along with their Spear’s ranking.
