Our Values

At Hanson Search, our values underpin everything we do. They guide how we partner with clients, support candidates, and build long-term relationships across the communications, marketing, public affairs, sustainability, government relations, and corporate leadership sectors. As a certified B Corp, we are committed to responsible and transparent business practices that create value for people and organisations alike.

These values sit at the centre of how we deliver recruitment, executive search, and talent advisory services across our specialist sectors. They shape how we approach each mandate, how we communicate, and how we support leaders making crucial hiring decisions. They reflect the standards we hold ourselves to as a global executive search and talent advisory firm working across London, Europe, the UAE and the USA.

Collaboration

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We drive results by working together – with each other and with our clients – as one unified team.

Empowerment

We’re a business of leaders. Every member of our team has the space to identify opportunities for ourselves and our clients, make them happen, be accountable, and lead in their own area of expertise.

Kindness

We make it a priority to treat everyone in our ecosystem as we’d like to be treated ourselves, and to help others outside of our immediate circle where we can, through charity, non profit, and DEI initiatives.

Integrity

Our candidates and clients can trust that we will remain ethical, honest, and transparent in everything we do. From accurately reporting ESG initiatives as a certified B Corp, to prioritising open and honest client conversations during the hiring process, we prioritise integrity.

Ambition

As a team, we consistently push to do better. We want to be the best consultancy in our chosen market, to get the very best possible results for our clients, our candidates, and our team members.

Not only do we work to improve our own business and processes, we are committed to raising standards across the sectors in which we recruit. Our values reflect our commitment to integrity, transparency and long-term partnership, and they shape how we deliver recruitment, executive search and talent advisory services across the UK, Europe, the UAE and the USA. Our team is united by a shared focus on quality, collaboration and purpose. Our Founder, Alice Weightman, is an honorary member of Global Women in PR, an Ambassador to the Ideas Foundation and a member of the Disability Confident Campaign. Her involvement reinforces our commitment to widening access to opportunity and supporting responsible, inclusive hiring practices.
