7twenty

Led by Richard Greenwood, 7twenty Professional Search was launched in direct response to client demand for a service that connects them with the best available talent for their middle-management roles.

2020

We engaged 7twenty Professional Search to support us with two business-critical, middle-management appointments within the finance and HR departments, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Both roles were new to our business so finding the right cultural fit as well as skill set was crucial. We are very selective over who we bring into our business at a senior level and finding the right individuals did prove difficult, but the 7twenty team were persistent and proactive in their approach. They presented highly qualified candidates and managed the process thoroughly, saving us time and resources. Partnering with 7twenty has allowed us to attract and appoint high-calibre talent to support our ambitious growth plans. I would strongly recommend 7twenty Professional Search to any organisation looking to find top-tier talent for middle management level roles.
Michael Clarke, Group Finance Director, Unitrunk

Our experience with 7twenty was first class. The team efficiently provided us with a high calibre of candidates whilst making the process seamless. 7twenty listened to all our needs from a technical perspective as well as a cultural perspective and we couldn’t recommend them enough. We’d use 7twenty again in the future for hard to fill positions.
Calum Holland, Talent Acquisition Manager, Agnew

We have developed a trusted and valued partnership with 4c Executive and 7twenty through the appointments of several Director and Management-levels positions across our offices in Northern Ireland, GB, and China. 4c Executive and 7twenty have allowed us to search for, attract and appoint the best talent to support our ambitious growth plans. We have been particularly impressed with their ability to find and attract high-performing talent who were not actively seeking a new role. We look forward to further developing our relationship with the team and would highly recommend their service.
