Who We Are
A specialist recruitment firm built on deep relationships, direct accountability, and an uncompromising standard for quality.
Our Story
Built on Relationships
Finn Executive was established in 2024 with a clear purpose: to provide mid-market organisations with a genuine alternative to the volume-driven agency model. We believe that specialist recruitment should be exactly that, specialist.
Our focus is exclusively on Strategy, Transformation, and Project Services. This is not a niche we stumbled into, it is a market we have operated in for over 15 years, building the kind of relationships that create long-term access to the best talent.
Working predominantly with mid-sized businesses, we are acutely aware of the commercial consequences of a hire that misses the mark. Transformation frequently outpaces the capability required to deliver it, placing execution, performance, and momentum at risk. We partner with organisations to close the gap between their current capability and what the business needs next.
We do not fill roles. We place the right people.
Founder & Director
Scott has been a 'transformation' recruiter since starting out as a graduate. Fifteen years on, he still loves what he does. Every day is a school day, and the constant learning keeps him raising the bar for the service he delivers.
The executives and leaders Scott partners with carry enormous responsibility: transformations that have to land, boards demanding results, and teams that need to perform, deliver, and feel fulfilled.
It's a fast-moving environment, and Scott knows your time is your most valuable asset. He never takes that for granted.
But he's no wallflower. Scott will challenge your thinking, tell you the truth even when it's uncomfortable, and only accept assignments he knows he can deliver on. His reputation depends on it.
Scott secures talent that isn't on the open market. He's discreet when discretion matters. And he stays in your corner from the initial brief to long after the person has started.
He's here to win, to find the right person at the right moment in your transformation journey, and to make the entire experience feel seamless.
Because improving your transformation talent always starts with a conversation. Let's start yours today.
How We Work
The Sole Practitioner Advantage
Most recruitment firms layer account managers, consultants, and researchers between you and the outcome. We do not. Here is what that means in practice.
Direct Access
You work directly with Scott, the person doing the work, not an intermediary or account manager.
Consistent Communication
A single point of contact throughout the entire engagement. No handovers, no information gaps.
Faster Response
Without internal bottlenecks or approval chains, we move at the speed your business needs.
Clear Accountability
If something isn't working, you tell me directly and I address it. No escalation paths, no deflection.
Our Philosophy
How We Think About Recruitment
Quality Above All
We only present candidates we would genuinely hire ourselves. Shortlists aren't padded for appearance, every name on the page is there because they're right for the role, the team, and the organisation.

Speed Through Relationships
Speed does not come at the expense of quality. It comes from years of building and maintaining a real network. When a brief lands, a large portion of the work is already done, we know who to call.
When we start a new assignment, half the work is done, we know who to call.

Reputation as Infrastructure
Passive candidates respond because they trust the source. Our reputation is not a marketing asset, it is the foundation of how we access talent that no job board ever will.
