The UK goveance profession has grown in both importance and recognition over the past decade. Through their accomplishments, Company Secretaries have shown the importance of their positions and are being acknowledged more consistently. This has led to a major shift in hiring pattes with HR placing more importance and care in their processes. Recently, retained searches have increased across the goveance profession and are currently 160% busier than just 3 years ago.
Due to Brexit and the on-going pandemic, UK organisations have seen widespread restructuring and their goveance teams have been instrumental in these changes. This has furthered their importance with their respective organisations and this importance cemented the need for dedicated recruitment support from exteal experienced recruitment professionals. Working with Rory and DMJ, on our Group Company Secretary assignment, was a pleasure.
"With a well-established network and access to a high-quality talent pool coupled with an incredibly professional yet pragmatic service, we were able to make a great hire."

However, we feel that our place in the market requires more than just providing recruitment services to our clients but rather a complete consultancy service. To become more accessible and as an entry point to our content, we have created the DMJ SEARCH website which highlights relevant content, thought leadership points and market updates relevant to the senior end of the market.
The new DMJ SEARCH site also gives you improved access to the consultants who make up the team who have been responsible for many senior goveance role placements over the years.

The process continues with the creation of a bespoke recruitment prospectus, longlist, shortlisting, interviews and rounded out by providing Psychometric testing to ensure you make the right hire the first time, every time.
