Human-Led Recruitment for Finance & Data

Honesty | Transparency | Communication | Innovation | Human Connection

Who we are

At BRD, our mission is simple, to make recruitment better for everyone involved. We believe that recruitment should be personal, transparent and genuinely rewarding. We’re here to make the process smoother, more human, and dare we say even enjoyable for both clients and candidates.

Our Focus

Finance & Accounting

Supporting finance professionals from qualification through to senior leadership, partnering with businesses to secure the right people for their finance teams.

Data & Analytics

Supporting data and analytics professionals at every stage of their career, while partnering with businesses to build impactful, insight-driven teams.

What makes BRD Search Different

What sets BRD Search apart is our commitment to delivering exceptional customer service defined by clear, consistent behaviours, not vague promises.

Exceptional service is easy to talk about, but harder to deliver consistently. That’s why we’ve created the BRD Service Level Promise, a clear set of behaviours that define how we work, every single day.

This promise is shared with every client we partner with, so you always know exactly what to expect from us. While each behaviour may seem simple on its own, together they create a powerful framework that elevates the entire recruitment experience.

The result is a process that protects your employer brand, delivers better hiring outcomes, and builds strong, long-term relationships. The areas below give a feel for the basis of our service level promise.

Relationship First

Long – term partnerships come ahead of any quick win, always

Service Obsessed

Exceptional communication, honest feedback and consistent support

Transparent by design

Real conversations, realistic expectations and a truly consultative approach

Human led & Tech Enabled

Testimonials

“What really sets John apart is that he genuinely cares about getting the right match. He takes the time to understand the person, the role and the company, rather than just firing CVs left, right and centre. He always asked the right questions, stayed engaged throughout the process and clearly values long-term relationships over quick wins.

If you’re looking for a recruiter who invests time, has strong values and actually cares about placements being right for everyone involved, I can’t recommend John enough.”

Irina Porter

Finance Director

“I have previously worked with John who was invaluable in helping place two qualified roles into a growing team. He was quick to understand the candidate profile we desired and was effective in providing suitable fits for this.

He was clear and professional in all dealings which made the recruitment process a smooth one and I’d highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.”

Gurveer Hayer

FP&A Manager

“I have been in contact with John for nearly 10 years now and my last 3 job roles have all been sourced by John. He always takes the time to listen to what I require in a new role and understands the type of company that I would like to work for. This has always ensured that both myself, as the candidate, and the potential employer are both well briefed ahead of the interview process.

Even when not actively searching for a new role, John will keep in regular touch with candidates for a general catch-up and discussion of future plans.

He is always approachable, friendly, and professional and whenever I am considering looking for a new role, John will be the first person I will contact. I would highly recommend his services for any jobseekers.”

Iwan Leyshon-Jones

Management Accountant

‘John and I were introduced during my search for employment in 2020 post redundancy. I found John to be informative, engaging and highly professional during my personal search for work.

Once I landed my role as FD at the Herd Group I had no reservations in using John to assist me in recruiting open positions in my Finance team. John’s experience in the recruitment sector together with his warm trusting approach helped fulfill my requirements in two Senior positions.

I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to recruit as he brings a wealth of experience whilst listening carefully to your exact needs and requirements. He is a talented and well established professional who wont let you down.’
