How we are different

Our People

6 Group’s Senior Client Partners are not just seasoned hiring experts but also sector experts with experience working in the industries they hire for.

And your Senior Client Partner will always be your trusted point of contact with us.

Our Approach

Our core competency is executive search, and we are experts across the full recruitment lifecycle. However, unlike other firms, we are happy to deconstruct the search process and support you with just one part of it – eg. talent pipelining, or assessment – if that is the right solution for your needs.

Our Size

We’re neither a small partnership nor a large corporation.
We like to think of ourselves as ‘right-sized’: small enough to be a lean operation where we deeply care about our clients and our work, and big enough to have all the capabilities in-house to consistently deliver remarkable outcomes.

Our Methods

6 Group’s expert researchers set the standard for advanced candidate sourcing, and our evaluation process is grounded in nothing but facts and evidence.
Our approach to search blends data and analytics with relationships and experience to produce consistently better hiring decisions.

They have always been there for me to bounce thoughts and ideas off and you can see how they live by their value of always wanting to Go Beyond.
