For clients

We want to be a
valued partner
to your people.

Herdsearch was born from a desire to offer more streamlined, meaningful services to companies. We build confidence and provide clarity to businesses looking to hire new talent and step into growth mode.

Whether employer or employee — the start of your journey can make all the difference

Exceptional recruitment from every angle.

We don't just fill roles. We build partnerships, understand your culture and find people who genuinely belong in your team.

01

Understanding your people

Before we ever start a search, we get to know your existing team — the culture, the dynamics, the values.

We spend time with founders, hiring managers and the wider team before we open a role. That means every candidate we put forward is a genuine fit — not just a CV match — and you spend less time interviewing the wrong people.
02

Diverse reach

We actively reach out to people from a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences and outlooks.

D&I isn't a final-shortlist tickbox — it's built into how we source from day one. We focus on what you need rather than just what you want, and push for honest conversations about who's missing from your team and why.
03

Brand ambassador

We become your brand ambassador in the market — reaching out to passive candidates who aren't actively looking.

Most great hires aren't on the job boards. We position your company as worth considering — through reach-out, network searches and consistent touch points — so local, skill-matched talent already knows your name when a role opens.
04

Retain and grow

We continually work to grow your presence, build your teams and react when needed.

We're in it past the placement. If something isn't working — a hire, a process, a market shift — we're on the phone to help you adapt, not chasing the next fee.
"We want to create transparent and rewarding partnerships from both sides. Connecting people that match in culture as well as skill saves businesses time and money."
Clare, Founder of Herdsearch

Amy Goudie
Head of Customer Success at essensys

I was fortunate enough to have Clare recommended to me by a colleague when I was looking for a customer success manager to join my team. Clare really took the time to not only understand the requirements of the role, but also more about me and the wider business. Similarly, Clare treated the candidates with the same level of respect, taking the time to understand their goals and values. This all meant that we received high-quality candidates who I knew would be a good fit for our organisation, and in turn, they felt our organisation was the right next step for them. Throughout the process, Clare communicated effectively, was on-hand to help with salary and contract negotiations, leading to a successful hire who was a great asset to our organisation. I look forward to working with Clare again!

Paweł Tomczuk
Founder & CEO at TechTree

Clare was part of TechTree at a very early stage. She was great at dealing with the chaos of a startup and had been delivering great results from Day 1. In particular, she has: — brought clients with whom she had a previous relationship — built process and managed a network of talent partners — brought great energy to the team in the tough days of the pandemic I truly believe Clare is an asset for any organization!

Josh Rivers, PhD
Sr. Strategy Research Leader at Xbox

I was lucky enough to work with Clare while working as a UX Research Lead at Solsten, a SaaS and research services startup, where I managed a fast-growing research team. Working with Clare to help grow the team, I never doubted that she fully understood my needs as a manager, the needs of the company, as well as how to find the right people for the roles we were hiring for. Her attention to detail for each and every headcount set her apart from other recruiting partners and as we worked together over time, her second sense for finding the right fit for roles was a welcome surprise. Clare was always committed to finding the perfect fit for our roles and finding talent that would excel in a startup environment. Her unbelievably expedient response times, attention to detail, and strong empathy set her apart. I would strongly recommend working with her for any of your recruitment or people needs.

Vincent Tamer
AI Enablement Leader & Senior CSM at LinkedIn

I have had the pleasure to work closely with Clare as a candidate as well as a hiring manager. She is extremely personable and gets to know the people she is working with. When she is sourcing candidates she makes sure to understand who the hiring manager is, what the organisation is like, what the day to day is for the specific role, and also who the candidate is that they are looking for. When she is working with individuals she has the ability to get to know them on a personal level and really understand what it is they are looking for in their next opportunity. She is able to represent the candidates well to the organisation and provides very detailed summaries of her initial screening. I can only recommend working with Clare as an agency to source your next great hires. I will continue to bring her on as a recruiter for future hires. The value add is immense.

Jon Seddon
Sr. Manager Solution Consulting EMEA, DACH, ANZ

Clare did a great job finding me candidates in a tough market. I needed software specialists in Germany willing to work at a global level and she found them! It was an ease working with her and in particular, her speedy communication was appreciated. Highly recommend!

Sophie Bryan
HR Director at Creative Assembly

Clare supported Digital Shadows with a number of roles that we were recruiting for globally and led to successful hires in both the UK, US and Singapore. From a HR perspective, Clare is easy to partner with and fully understands the pressures/time demands for both HR and our Hiring Managers who are busy with a number of activities. She is extremely professional and takes time getting to know our business, making sure she can showcase how great our company is, the culture and a true understanding of the specialist roles we recruit for. I particularly admire Clare's innovative approaches in advertising roles via social media which have proven to be really successful. I have really enjoyed working with Clare and would always recommend her.
