Why Shawfield & Sloane
Shawfield & Sloane is a specialist recruitment and executive search firm built on professionalism, discretion and results. We operate as trusted partners to our clients, offering a highly personal and dedicated service that reflects the importance of every appointment we undertake.
Having spent years sitting on the client side of the table, we understand that successful recruitment goes far beyond technical capability. It requires a deep understanding of leadership style, personality, culture and long-term business objectives. Listening is our core skill — and tailored delivery is our standard.
A Selective, Dedicated Approach
We intentionally limit the number of clients and mandates we accept. This allows us to devote the time, focus and care required to deliver exceptional outcomes. Every search is approached with the same level of commitment, regardless of role or geography.
Our service is adaptable, responsive and designed around your needs — whether you are working to a tight deadline, navigating a sensitive replacement, or appointing leadership to support growth or transformation.
Bespoke Executive Search
Every assignment we undertake is fully bespoke. We invest time in understanding the DNA of your organisation and the nuances of each role, enabling us to identify candidates who will succeed not only in the position, but within your wider business.
Our searches are meticulous and discreet. We work in close partnership with our clients, managing the process end-to-end and maintaining clear communication throughout.
Access to Exceptional Talent
We do not rely on databases or inbound applicants alone. Through targeted headhunting and long-established industry networks, we engage with the very best candidates — many of whom are not actively on the market.
We present only individuals who are rigorously assessed, fully qualified and genuinely motivated by both the opportunity and your organisation. Our aim is not simply to fill roles, but to build long-term, successful appointments.
Trusted by Our Clients
Our clients value our balanced, thoughtful approach and our willingness to go the extra mile. They rely on us for honest advice, discretion, and the ability to deliver under pressure when required.
