ABOUT

We Create Opportunities for Candidates & Businesses

Spark Search is a recruitment consultancy that specialises in mid-market corporate finance, M&A and senior-level finance roles across London, Home Counties and the South West.

Spark Search was created and driven by the realisation that the recruitment industry needs improvement. We don’t simply fill jobs. We nurture enduring partnerships and solve problems for our clients while motivating candidates to excel.

We are driven to improve the careers and businesses of those we work with and to achieve their ambitions. We put people at the heart of what we do.

We have a sense of purpose behind everything that we do

Our Approach

True consultants

As a client, you need someone who understands not just the skills you need, but also the beating heart of your business; your mission, your vision, and the values that drive you.

As a candidate, your career makes up a huge part of your life, which is why we strive to understand your motivations, career aspirations and you as a person. We strive to find you the best role for you, not our bank balance.

For us, being the best isn’t about revenue or profit, it’s about our reputation and the quality of our services as a trusted recruitment partner.

Creative

We question, we consider new perspectives, we find different ways to get the job done. We constantly learn and develop our knowledge. With flexibility and innovation, we produce new value.

Network

Our strengths not only lie in our skills and our approach, but in our network. Our relationships don’t end when a candidate is hired; we continue to  nurture long-term relationships with clients and candidates alike, often with candidates becoming clients later on!

Not just recruitment

We are dedicated to providing a personal service and sector expertise, supported by market insights and salary benchmarking. Whether you’re an employer looking to better understand the current recruitment market and trends, or a candidate looking for advice on your career or CV, we’re here to help. Visit our resources page for useful articles and tips to help you find your next role.

We do what is right, not what is easy

For us, being the best isn’t about revenue or profit, it’s about our reputation and the quality of our services as a trusted recruitment partner. We will be honest with you – if we can’t help you, we’ll tell you. Difficult role? We’ll be upfront with you. We’ll always try to help you find a solution, even if it isn’t with us.

We won’t stop until it’s done

M&A Associate Director

From the point Heather first contacted me to discuss an opportunity to the day I signed the contract, every discussion with her was timely, purposeful and reassuring. I am thankful for her professional and empathetic approach, and a fantastic result.

Partner, Corporate Finance Boutique

Heather took the time to really understand the culture of our business to validate and give great briefings to the candidates she put forward. In a crowded market where CVs can start looking the same, it was a real pleasure to know that Heather’s approach focussed on personality and cultural fit which is so often overlooked yet so important to a challenger boutique.

Financial Modelling Senior Manager

Heather helped me secure a top notch financial modelling role with a Big 4 accounting firm. The process unfolded rapidly and seamlessly, with only 3 weeks or so elapsing between my CV first being sent and securing a job offer.
Heather’s help did not stop at the job offer stage, but extended all the way through the lengthy on-boarding process. If you are looking for your next career challenge, you could not do anything better than getting in touch with Heather.

Corporate Finance Manager

Heather was fantastic at helping me find the right role. Great communication throughout the process, clear, honest and very easy to deal with!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heather to any of my contacts.
