About Us

We at 6 Group, pride ourselves in our commitment to partnering with our clients, enabling them to maximise their human capital performance with our unique, modern approach to executive search, talent intelligence and leadership assessment. Our framework reflects our three pillars of focus – People, Performance and Planet, with a sustainable approach to decision-making and development.

People

Living by our values and beliefs, we prioritise and dedicate ourselves to the people we work with by honouring our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Performance

We have hard-wired our ability in identifying, defining and enabling high performance for our clients at the heart of everything we do. This has enabled our track record of exceptional delivery.

Planet

We commit to a world first of purchasing two tonnes of full carbon removal credits for every search we do. This is going beyond ‘planting a tree’ or ‘offsetting’. This is full carbon removal qualified against VERA and ICROA standards – the world’s most rigorous standards for accelerating Carbon Removal technologies.

Go Beyond

The very thought of ‘going beyond’ can conjure up the perception of an arduous journey ahead infused with any number of unforeseen challenges. But, if you’re with someone who’s been there before, time and time again with different people seeking similar outcomes, it’s smooth sailing.

We are the navigator of your journey. We guide you through the areas you want to explore and help you make discoveries along the way, all with the intention of enabling you to truly pioneer.

Our Beliefs here are:

Outcomes | Nimble | Remarkable

Partnering

On the face of it, ‘partnership’ is often painted as two entities working together in collaboration. Whilst true, it’s common to overlook what it means to truly partner with someone. It can be seamless when you share the same values, vision and understanding; but this is often something that you must work towards.

Communication is the key for us. Not just a forum of practical conversation, but also an open platform to discuss the stark and unvarnished realities of what is stopping you from being a leader in your field. Sharing this level of insight requires trust, and we work to preserve and enhance that trust by always taking you and your business from strength to strength.

Our Beliefs here are:

Fresh | Followership | Awareness

remarkable

Go Beyond

To be remarkable, you need to act outside of what’s considered ordinary. Strangely, the steps you must take to be considered remarkable are quite ordinary themselves. It’s meticulous planning, painstaking research, compiling and dissecting intelligence and, ultimately, delivering something which exceeds expectations. There’s no illusion here; we have a process for being ‘remarkable’ and we follow it every single time.

fresh

Partnering

We’ll never stop striving to become a genuine alternative. It’s in our nature to challenge the norm and to position ourselves away from the more traditional crowd. However, the quality of being ‘fresh’ is dependent on its shelf life and retaining originality is an ongoing test, but it’s one we’re always up for taking. As such, we want to work with those seeking to bring about real change, not just keep things ticking over.

followership

Partnering

It’s ingrained in our culture to be honest about what each of us individually excel at. When a new challenge presents itself, we follow those within the business who are best suited to take the lead – regardless of their ‘level’. It is an acknowledgement of competence and an empowerment of trust between us all.

awareness

Partnering

Our insatiable appetite for discovery continually leads us to become more aware of what’s happening and makes the opaque become very clear. We have a saying, “in evidence we trust”, but it’s not just about the cold hard facts. It’s about creating a composition of both facts and context to create a sixth sense of what’s really going on across our markets. This level of intuition means we can take the truths which sit on a hazy periphery, move them into sight, and render complete clarity to us and our clients.

Our history

Our Managing Director, James Beazley, founded the company 19 years ago following his role at Shell as Head of Experienced Resourcing for EMEAR. During his time there, he used all the major search and assessment firms but felt none of them could demonstrate a truly collaborative approach to deliver remarkable outcomes.

This was his chief driver for creating 6 Group. He wanted to put forward a genuine alternative that lives and breathes two key principles: Go Beyond and Partnering. Today, we are one of the world’s most innovative firms operating across EMEAI, Asia Pacific and the Americas.
