What is Strengths Recuitment?
We are one of only a few organisations in the UK to specialise in strengths-based recruitment. We offer support to internal recruitment teams wanting to establish a strengths-based recruitment model and we also deliver our flagship fully retained Executive Search & Selection service for senior and experienced hires.
Strengths recruitment focuses on hiring people into roles where they have the best natural energy, motivation and fit for the role. By identifying and assessing what motivates and energises candidates in addition to their experience and competency, we support you to hire more engaged, motivated employees who are likely to reach higher performance and stay longer in post.

Strengths Development
Team and Leadership Development
We work with teams and leadership groups delivering bespoke team development solutions focused on helping them to better understand, harness and optimise their collective strengths and guard against performance risk. This results in more engaged, inclusive, productive and appreciative teams and leadership.
The key benefits of adopting a strengths-based approach to team and leadership development are:
More authentic leadership
Managers and leaders learn how they are different, how these differences contribute value and how their vulnerabilities show up under pressure. This enables leaders to be themselves more skillfully, recognising and managing both the positive and negative impact they have on others.
Improved leadership communication
Team members learn how to deliver feedback well, how to coach others, communicate with impact and to build and motivate teams. They become skilled communicators, using simple tools well to improve others’ performance.
A positive, appreciative and high performing work culture
By developing an authentic, skilled approach, managers and leaders set a positive, respectful tone within their organisation, so encouraging others to bring their best to work every day, out of choice.
