Founded by brothers Sam and Josh Gee, Heywood Associates helps recruitment professionals find their next move, and recruitment businesses find their next great hire — across Financial Services, Professional Services, Search and STEM, in the UK, EMEA, US and APAC.
Sam and Josh both built careers inside agency recruitment before founding Heywood Associates. That means straight-talking advice from people who know exactly what a good recruitment business — and a good recruitment career — looks like.
No jargon, no disappearing acts. We keep you genuinely informed at every stage of your search or your hire.
We're never "too busy" to talk. Message us on WhatsApp, book a call, or pick up the phone — your choice.
Good news or bad, you'll always get real feedback after an interview — even when a client says no.
Almost three decades of relationships across the best recruitment and search firms in the market.
Our job isn't done when you start your new role — we check in to help you settle and make sure it's the right fit.
We pick our clients and candidates carefully, so every introduction we make is one that's actually worth making.
From graduate consultants to Partners and CEOs, we work across the full spectrum of the recruitment and search sector.

8 years' recruitment experience across Robert Half, Robert Walters, Cedar and Michael Page — rising from Associate to Manager — specialising in Finance, Accountancy & Corporate Treasury.
"It is always interesting being on the other side of the table — I was impressed by your knowledge of the marketplace and the clients you work with."
"Many thanks for all your hard work and support. I have been really impressed with your professionalism, and you kept me up to date with progress and gave very sound advice."
"Everything I would expect from a good agency. A professional approach from my first meeting through to matching my profile with the right companies and securing a new role."
For Partner and C-suite level moves in recruitment, executive search or management consultancy — outside our core Rec2Rec remit — we work closely with Simon Gee at HR&S.
Both. We help experienced recruiters find their next role, and recruitment businesses find their next great hire — the conversation starts wherever you are.
Everything from graduate consultant through to Director and Partner level, across Financial Services, Professional Services, Search and STEM recruitment.
Completely. Nothing is shared with a third party — client or candidate — without your explicit permission first, which matters most when you're currently employed and looking quietly.
Of course. Many of the best moves start as a no-pressure, informal conversation rather than a formal job search.
