Understanding
the role

The role of an Executive Search Consultant is a target-driven sales position focused on building client relationships and delivering senior-level talent on a global scale. Consultants develop their own client base and work closely with high-calibre candidates across international markets.

All consultants join as graduates and are trained internally, with our leadership team promoted from within. This creates a young, ambitious, and highly collaborative culture, supported by strong incentives, clear progression, and regular opportunities to socialise and celebrate success as a team.

“6 stars. For real.”

Jack Purnell - Managing Consultant, Irving Knight

We’re obsessive about creating a place where people who are talented, hard-working, and full of team spirit can thrive.

We believe that exceptional performance comes from creating the right environment. By fostering a culture built on trust, collaboration, and high standards, we enable people to do their best work, take ownership, and grow with confidence alongside motivated, like-minded colleagues.
