Human Resources: Our experience
What we’re proud of
Dynamic opportunities

We have invested in the latest people technologies to generate insights and the evidence to support our advice and decision-making. For example, performance, talent and financial data is used to drive appointments and promotions.

Gina Van Der Pauw, Lead HR Business Partner, London
It’s completely different to anywhere I’ve worked before. My experience is with large corporate organisations as opposed to partnerships, so this is extremely interesting.
Dan Belli, Head of HR Operations, London
Leading the HR Operations team means I get to work on many international projects and activities that not only mean we can have a tangible impact on the broader HR function, but I am always learning something new.
