Our Approach: Less is More

At Merrifield, we believe in the power of focus. In a sector filled with noise, we choose quality over quantity. Our niche lies in working on fewer roles, ensuring an unparalleled level of service for each organization we partner with. This commitment allows us to provide regular and transparent communication, delivering both qualitative and quantitative data crucial for organizational growth.

Our goal is to build on the success of shaping our clients, and growing our business where our clients need us most. Merrifield Executive Search is not just a recruitment agency; we are architects of leadership success.

testimonials

Stuart helped navigate us through a challenging recruitment period by listening carefully to our needs and selecting quality candidates which had met our skills and experience requirements. This meant that we were finally able to appoint to positions we were hiring into, placing two excellent candidates who are settling in very well and are totally meeting our expectations.

Through working with Stuart, it’s clear to see that getting the right recruiter really makes all the difference in obtaining quality candidates and success in recruitment.

The thing I most value about working with Stuart is his humanity. Some recruitment consultants are bluffing when they say don't worry, we've got your details, we know what you are looking for and we'll be in touch as soon as something comes up.

I trust that Stuart does understand what I need and am looking for, which is a strong suit in recruitment, where consultants typically deal with hundreds of clients in an industry where churn is high.

Spencer Halls

Fundraising Manager

"I truly appreciated meeting and working with Stuart. Passionate about his work and about people, he is proactive and naturally goes the extra mile, tailoring the vacancies in line with applicant skills and personality. His sharp listening skills and intuition fostered enriching interviews with prospects. They also translated into the perfect match with my current employer, both from a professional and human perspective."

Nanette Onu

Programme Funding Manager

We had an agency work a role for us with poor results, another refused because of what we were offering. Merrifield Consultants then took on our role and they came up with 6 excellent candidates in 48 hours and we were blown away. We’ve never experienced recruitment like it!

"Stuart was enormously supportive during the recruitment process for my current role at Street League. He really took the time to get to know me and his understanding of Street League and the role of Head of Major Giving was insightful as I prepared for interviews. I really can't thank Stuart enough for finding me this role, nor can I recommend him enough as an enthusiastic and knowledgeable recruiter."
