About Paul
I help you hire the HR leaders and teams your business depends on.
You work with me when you need experienced HR recruitment support across the UK and Europe.
You might be:
→ Hiring your first Chief People Officer
→ Rebuilding or scaling your HR team
→ Covering an interim gap
→ Delivering a time-critical HR project
→ Looking for a fair, well-balanced shortlist
→ Frustrated with recruiters who do not understand HR
I’ve spent 20 years recruiting HR professionals.
From HR Assistant to CPO.
Permanent. Interim. Fractional.
Recent examples:
→ A global tech CEO hired their first CPO. I ran the search, led first-stage interviews, and supported the offer through to acceptance.
→ A UK services business rebuilt its HR Operations function in eight weeks. Six hires delivered, including Head of HR Ops and Senior HR Business Partner.
→ An HR Director needed interim BP support after multiple acquisitions. Signed contract in 8 days.
What you get:
→ Straight talking advice
→ Clear process
→ Honest market insight
→ Carefully selected introductions
→ No noise
I split my time between the UK and the DACH region.
I support knowledge-based and commercial businesses across Europe.
