Frequently Asked Questions

Registering with The HR Recruiters means joining a discreet, highly curated network of senior HR professionals. We don’t just match CVs to jobs, we invest in long-term relationships

Discretion is non-negotiable. We never share your details without permission, and all conversations start confidentially. If your employer is a client, we manage that relationship carefully and protect your anonymity at every stage. You stay in control always.

We aim to make every stage of our process inclusive and accessible. That includes offering flexible interview formats, providing documents in alternative formats where needed, and making reasonable adjustments throughout. If you have specific access requirements, we’ll always listen and adapt.

We go beyond the CV. Our process includes in-depth conversations to understand your expertise across key HR disciplines, from strategy and culture to reward, ER, talent, and transformation. We ask the right questions, seek real-world examples, and match your skillset to the business context, not just the job title.

We take a targeted, relationship-led approach. Rather than relying on job ads, we actively headhunt through our trusted network, tap into referrals, and build long-term connections with senior HR leaders. Our reputation, discretion, and deep understanding of the HR space help us engage top talent even those not actively looking.
