With a combined knowledge spanning 25 years of industry experience, we know exactly what it takes to attract, retain and develop the best talent. Summit Search Group prides themselves on simplifying the process when it comes to hiring and have a variety of tailored solutions to help facilitate your needs. 

Combining some of the industries market leading profiling tools, we also make it our mission to have unrivalled and intimate knowledge of both client and candidate expectations. We are here to make sure that your team and company vision can be realised by retaining and attracting the best talent to fit your unique context.

​

Summit Search Group has a global reach. We have worked with multinational tier 1 investment banks to start-up fintech firms. For us no client is too large or too small, our role is to provide the best advice possible.

​

OUR SERVICES

At Summit Search Group, we offer a range of services that can be tailored to suit your exact needs. 

For people looking to hire, we know that our clients' needs are never the same. We try to offer a broad range of search tools and processes to help you identify and hire the best talent to fit your requirements. We make sure that we are constantly tracking and keeping in contact with leading industry talent. We hope that when you are looking to make that important hire for your team, we are able to react quickly and diligently ensuring that gaps in your team's structure are kept to a minimum.

Unlike many recruitment firms in the market today, Summit Search Group have very much kept a personal and professional ethos. Any candidate that is represented by our business undergoes a full and challenging interview process before they are considered for a shortlist. This is always discussed with any client before the selection process begins to ensure that our shortlists are as accurate as possible, again minimising your hire timeline. Our responsibility as a search firm is to ease the time constraints of hiring and highlight unidentifiable professionals that could be invaluable to your team or business.

Depending on your specific needs, we offer both contingent and retained project support which will be discussed in any preliminary meeting prior to engagement.

OUR CANDIDATES

If you are looking to develop your career, we know that in our market you will be hard pressed to find any team more professionally networked. We work very closely with all of our clients and understand exactly what triggers a successful hire. Interviewing for roles can sometimes be a thankless task. It’s a time consuming process that can take a huge amount of time out of your diary. We hope that, given our stringent selection process, you will never attend an interview that you regret. We will work together to outline a clear career path based on prior achievements, experience and milestones and ensure that you are given the best platform to succeed.

We have worked with a great number of candidates over the years. It does not always end up in finding them a new role. As much as we are here to find you a new opportunity, sometimes it is our responsibility to give you advice that may make you think twice about a change or, in fact, make you consider your options that are available to you. 

For any candidates seeking that next move or some friendly and professional advice, we advise you contact us and we will do our best to help.
