H&P Executive Search

We’re officially moving ahead with our new Miami office. Timelines and hiring plans are now in place, and our CEO Jack Hayes will relocate in Spring 2026, with Jo-dee Pearce joining shortly after to drive growth. With over 80% of our revenue historically coming from overseas, Miami is a natural next step. It strengthens our US presence and gives our people future opportunities for international mobility. We’re now building a small, high-performing team to launch the office. If you are sharp, ambitious, and have a strong track record in recruitment, this is a rare chance to help shape a new market from day one. We’ll begin with our core, warm client bases – and we expect to replicate the success of our London office at pace. If you are exploring opportunities in London or Miami, please contact Jack Hayes, Jo-dee Pearce, or Harry Elkington #Recruitment #ExecutiveSearch #Miami #Hiring

Legal Market Minute – Texas FinReg is seeing one of the fastest-growing in-house hiring spikes in the state. Several institutions are quietly assessing mid-senior legal hires for early 2026, particularly lawyers with regulatory fluency and experience supporting complex financial products. Despite rising demand across Texas, the strongest pools of FinReg talent remain concentrated in CA and NY, creating a tight candidate landscape for employers looking to strengthen their regulatory bench. If your team is finding it difficult to secure regulatory talent, we are currently representing a number of FinReg lawyers interested in relocating to Austin, Houston and Dallas. Get in touch with Ivan Parra for a clearer read on the market and who is available. #Legal #FinReg #Lawyers #Search #Hiring

Today we are celebrating International Men’s Day by shining a light on the things that genuinely matter – health, community, and looking out for one another. This year, our Run Club is leading a month-long Movember challenge, rallying the whole business behind a collective goal of 500 km throughout November to raise funds for men’s health. We are already seeing people head out on early morning runs, lunchtime loops, and weekend miles to help us hit our target. A big thank you to everyone getting involved, donating, or cheering from the sidelines. If you would like to support our fundraising efforts, you can donate here: https://lnkd.in/e_jG28AP Here is to the men in our lives, the conversations that matter, and the small actions – run by run – that make a difference. #InternationalMensDay #MentalHealth #Movember

Celebrating a milestone for John Silavs, a Consultant in our European Private Equity team! John's first placement reflects the way he approaches his market: focused, consistent, and relationship-led. The candidate had been in conversation with us for some time, and when the right opportunity came up, John was able to move with clarity and confidence. The result? A London-based candidate successfully relocated back to Germany and secured their first move into Private Equity – a career-shaping step, not just a change of role. Well done, John! #PrivateEquity #Recruitment #Careers

Today we’re celebrating with the entire team at a company-wide Lunch Club, recognising our team’s hard work and their success in exceeding October’s targets. A brilliant achievement and a testament to the consistency shown across the last quarter! October’s highlights: • £150k billed by our top consultant • Three consultants exceeded £100k+ • 50% of the sales team billed, with an average fee size of £40k The momentum across the business is undeniable, and November is already on track to push even further – potentially setting a new record for the year. At H&P we aim to be known for two things: delivering the largest placements in the market and being the fastest-growing search firm, built on a culture that values pace, consistency, and genuine care for our people. The numbers speak for themselves. If you are a high performer looking to join a team that rewards impact, ambition, and pace, we should speak. Reach out for a confidential chat about opportunities at H&P.

H&P Run Club is leading our Movember initiative this year, with a collective goal of running 500km across the month to raise awareness for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and cancer research. For us, this is not just about fitness. It’s about showing up for each other, creating space to talk openly, and encouraging positive routines that support mental wellbeing. We’ll be tracking our progress each week, sharing updates, and getting the whole office involved to hit the 500km milestone together.
