Life at Ernest Hunter Green

"Moving to Ernest Hunter Green has absolutely changed my work life balance in terms of being able to chose if I go into London. If I need to do any family stuff then there are no questions and I can chose when to make up the time."

"My favourite thing about the flexibility is that I have more freedom so I can do things that I need to do outside of work but then being able to work at other times if needed eg Fridays, evening etc."

"The founders are very supportive and always available to offer advice. I trust that they have my best interests at heart and will do everything they can to support me."

"My team are really supportive. I like our team meetings as it gives a chance to catch up and hear what other businesses people are working with and generally just getting together. I feel really comfortable asking support about clients/industries that I am not familiar with and all of them are very happy to share knowledge/time etc."

"What surprised me most was being able to get involved in different aspects of the business and how much individuals opinions are valued. e.g. we are asked opinions on when Seven20 was implemented, the new website being launched and now doing this survey so it makes every person feel like they are part of how the company is run to a certain extent."

"I enjoy the balance between getting on with my own work and running my own desk whilst also feeling part of a wider team and company. It doesn’t feel like I am totally working on my own. I like that it is small company so you feel really part of making the company a success."

"Everything that was described during the interview process was true so there were no hidden surprises. In fact the surprise was how supportive every person in the organisation is and always willing to give up their time and offer advise when needed."

"I chose Ernest Hunter Green because the thought of setting up a division from scratch was exciting, the flexibility would bring huge benefits to my family life, and I really bought into the people during the interview process."

"I was nervous about stepping away from all my established clients and having non-compete clauses that meant I had to find new revenue streams for the first 12 months, but Ernest Hunter Green fully supported me to go after new clients and choose who I worked with. Every year at Ernest Hunter Green I have billed more than in previous companies, so I would say those challenges disappeared pretty fast once I started working and seeing how the company supported me."

"Having the balance of working my own way has drastically reduced my stress levels regarding work, and I actually enjoy my job more than before."

"I see my kids more since joining Ernest Hunter Green than I ever did at any other company. There is a great support for fitness, mindfulness and exercise, and various team challenges to motivate us all through the remote working. I’ve lost three stone since I joined the company, so that’s got to say something!"

"The four founders all have different personal styles and traits, but it works really well as they all bring something to the table. They all get along and you can tell they are genuinely excited about the business and how it can grow."

"I like the fact that we all come with different levels of experience and expertise and personalities, but that we all respect and listen to each other. There is a feeling of trust and that we are all in it together – never a feeling of us and them with the founders."

"I enjoy the flexibility most. Whether it is the flex to stop early and collect my kids from school, or the unlimited holiday that allows me to take time out when I need it, without worry about what the company will think. Its a freedom that I really appreciate, as it allows me to find my own groove and be successful in a way that suits be best."

"The openness and grounded way in which Ernest Hunter Green interviewed and onboarded me is exactly the style they have had ever since. There were no pretences or egos – just a group of expert Search consultants excited about me joining."

"What made Ernest Hunter Green stand out from the pack was the fact they were genuinely interested in what worked best for me. Other Search firms were busy telling me how successful they all were, but Ernest Hunter Green actually asked me how I wanted to be successful and listened to my individual needs."
