A search practice built for the sector.
Not a recruitment machine.
We’ve spent over a decade working across the arts and executive search. We’ve seen first-hand how vital great people are to the success and sustainability of our arts and creative industries. The right leadership can transform an organisation, and the right opportunity can change a person’s life.
You get the same people on every search — the ones who take the brief, do the headhunting, and pick up the phone when you’ve got a question.

For organisations
Rigorous search. Without the theatrics.
Three stages, no mystery. You will always know where the search has got to and what happens next.
Time with the board and the team to get underneath the organisation — its culture, its ambitions, and the honest reality of the role. We agree the brief, the package and the timetable before anyone is approached.
Focused research and market mapping, then direct approaches — alongside advertising where it genuinely helps reach people who would not otherwise hear about the role.
Careful candidate management and straight talking through shortlist, panel and offer — including the people who do not get it. Everyone leaves the process thinking better of your organisation, not worse.
