1. About Us
Who we are
Berwick Partners is a division of Odgers Berndtson operating in the senior leadership recruitment market. We operate a 100% retained search model within the £70,000-£120,000 basic salary bracket and believe we stand out in a congested market by offering a quality and client-led service.
This is a market which we believe is poorly serviced by the contingent players with their volume based approach, and traditional search firms with their focus on board positions.
We are a national firm with offices in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. We collaborate and work closely with Odgers Berndtson, benefiting from their brand and reputation. We share a database, offices, events and away-days. We also benefit from their brand, reputation and work. This relationship means that for business development purposes, we are not a cold call environment.
What we offer
At Berwick Partners, we have created a mature and “grown-up” culture, one where you are trusted to deliver without weekly targets and sales incentives. We provide our consultants with a huge amount of support to enable them to be as effective as possible. Support comes in the form of:
Dedicated PA
In-house Research Team
Events Executive
Marketing Executive
Client Development Team
How we work Berwick Partners has built an excellent reputation for filling senior management and executive positions across a number of different sectors. We have split our market into three main areas, Commerce & Industry, Public Sector and Functions. This split lays the foundation for our 18 different practices and we are always open to expanding into new areas. We believe that this structure offers clients the opportunity to tap into sector specialists and functional experts as the mandate dictates.
