Everyone talks about the importance of relationships in the executive search business. Few seem to have the knack of creating and sustaining them in a meaningful way.

We do. Not because there’s any science to it, just a commitment to work hard, be there when it matters, be open-minded and have a sense of humour.

So, we could say we specialise in energy, and with our expertise that’s true.

But to be more accurate, in the increasingly complex and shape-shifting world of infrastructure, we specialise in the people that keep it going.

About us

With 30 years experience we know what good looks like, and where to find the right pools of people to deliver it.

It's a critical knowledge that we continually refresh and expand. It equips us to specialise in today's most dynamic and fluid sectors - energy, transport, construction and development and the professions that service them.

Sectors

We look at every element and requirement. Using our expertise, sector and market knowledge to understand and often challenge what you're asking for.

What people say

I have known and worked with Cheetham Hall for almost 20 years, both as a client and a candidate. For me the point of differentiation and the considerable value that Cheetham Hall add to their assignments is the time they invest in really getting to know and understand the client organisation, not just in terms of the skills and experience required but that all important chemistry or culture. They then research the market place and their networks to produce a short-list of good quality, well matched candidates. This ensures that there are no surprises for either side and that appointed candidates are successful in their new organisation and are able to quickly add value.

Chris demonstrated extensive knowledge of the infrastructure market. Our search was a challenging one and he showed perseverance and flexibility as we pivoted our approach, ultimately securing a great appointment.

We engage Cheetham Hall for some of our senior appointments where their sector experience and contacts add real value to our in-house team. A good example is a recent series of appointments in the energy sector, connected to GHD’s Future Energy Strategy, which were successfully delivered beyond expectation in a very ‘hot’ and competitive market.

Port Causeway is a Commercial and Project Management consultancy operating across the construction, engineering, energy, & infrastructure sectors. We’ve collaborated with Cheetham Hall for many years. Their sector knowledge, contact network and understanding of current market conditions is invaluable. This, combined with their honest & sensible advice makes Cheetham Hall a trusted partner.

We engaged Cheetham Hall to assist with a number of ‘hard to fill’ critical positions in the UK and Ireland. The thoroughness of their search enabled us to make appointments in these roles when we had previously failed via other routes. Their approach is thorough and professional.

Chris applies a level of diligence that is rarely seen within the recruitment market. He possesses and demonstrates a detailed understanding of his client’s business and can deliver a true match in role versus profile. With a cross section of experience that would have been applicable to multiple roles with his client, he was able to challenge my skillset and refine a best value match for both parties. Chris brings clarity and insight in his approach that distinguishes him from other executive search organisations.

Chris definitely stood out in his style and approach compared to many other recruitment consultants. He was very involved in the whole recruitment process and helped me better understand the work my current employer (GHD) does. His insights on my strengths and weaknesses made conversations with GHD easier during the hiring process.

Chris was instrumental in me securing a senior role on the HPC project. His communication and advice during the entire recruitment exercise was very helpful – he was always available to speak, discuss progress and guide me through a detailed client selection process. Chris’ approach is conscientious, consistent, patient and persistent.
