Our Impact

  • "Pearse Professionals have been a breath of fresh air: listening deeply, thinking laterally and spending the time needed to get to know my strengths and preferences. Joe's industry knowledge, ability to connect briefs and candidates and responsiveness have all made a big difference to my experience as a candidate."

    Senior Advisor

  • "I have been very impressed with the service provided by Pearse Professionals. They took the time to fully understand our business needs and consistently delivered high-quality candidates who were an excellent fit for both the role and our culture. We worked closely with Will Dodds, whose communication was always clear, timely, and professional, making the recruitment process smooth and efficient. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pearse Professionals as a trusted recruitment partner."

    HR Country Manager

  • "I’ve worked with several recruiters, but Krupali stood out for her responsiveness, transparency and human touch. Even before we were working on a specific role, Krupali took the time to connect me with industry contacts and share valuable market insights. That kind of support is rare and shows she genuinely cares about people’s careers, not just placements."

    Senior Commercial Finance Manager

  • "It’s been a pleasure working with the Pearse Professionals team, in particular with Joe and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market and clearly well-connected. Alongside his market knowledge, Joe brings professionalism and approachability. The support he has provided has been exceptional."

    Group Treasurer

  • "Great company to work with. Joe and his team genuinely invest time in building meaningful relationships with both clients and candidates. They have a strong ethos of promoting diversity and presented me with a number of very interesting opportunities."

    Senior Advisor

  • "Very professional interaction with the team and they managed a challenging interim engagement very well. With clear guidance and advice on the process. Highly recommended"

    Group Financial Controller

  • "After a period of challenge trying to fill an Accountant role internally, no shorter than three months of discussion and multiple interviews, we just weren’t finding what was needed. At this point, I finally made the call to Charlie, we interviewed two candidates within a week and offered one within hours of final interview. The calibre presented was far better than we’d been able to directly attract. Very impressed as a result to date and would be happy to both highly recommend and partner with again myself."

Our Process

Stage 1

Our sector-specialist teams are always mapping and networking to discover the best talent in the market. That way, when a brief comes in, we already know where to go.

Stage 2

We take the time to fully understand the cultural and technical requirements of both client and candidate.

Stage 3

We run a highly organised and structured search process. And we ensure both client and candidate know exactly where they stand, throughout.

Stage 4

Our job isn't finished until both candidate and client are settled. We follow up to make sure the placement works for both parties.
