Finding the right people for your organisation
The right appointment can strengthen a team, accelerate a programme, improve service delivery or provide the leadership needed to achieve your organisation’s priorities.
At Bamberry Consulting, we provide specialist recruitment support to organisations across the public sector, with a particular understanding of the people, skills and experience required within complex public-service environments.
We don’t simply send CVs.
We take the time to understand your organisation, the role, the challenges you are facing and what you need the successful candidate to deliver.

A recruitment service built around your needs
Every assignment is different. That’s why our approach is flexible and tailored to the role, your organisation and your timescales.
From identifying candidates already known to us, through to targeted research and direct approaches, we use a combination of recruitment expertise, professional networks and market knowledge to identify people who could genuinely add value to your organisation.
UNDERSTANDING THE BRIEF
We start by understanding the role, your organisation and the outcomes you need the successful candidate to achieve.
IDENTIFYING THE RIGHT PEOPLE
We draw on our networks, candidate relationships, market knowledge and targeted search to identify suitably qualified and experienced professionals.
ASSESSING EXPERIENCE & MOTIVATION
We look beyond the CV, exploring candidates’ experience, motivations, capabilities and suitability for the particular role and organisation.
SUPPORTING THE APPOINTMENT
We manage the recruitment process professionally and confidentially, maintaining communication with you throughout and helping you make an informed appointment.
⸻
Two approaches to recruitment
Whether you want to test the market or require a dedicated search, we can provide a recruitment solution appropriate to your requirements.
CONTINGENT RECRUITMENT
Flexible recruitment without an upfront commitment
Our contingent recruitment service provides a flexible way to test the market and identify suitable candidates without an upfront recruitment fee.
We combine our existing candidate network and database with targeted sourcing to identify professionals whose experience matches your requirements.
This approach can be particularly effective where:
- you want to access the market quickly
- you have a clearly defined vacancy
- you want to consider candidates already known to Bamberry
- you want to test the availability of suitable candidates
- you require a flexible recruitment solution
⸻
SPECIALIST SEARCH
A focused and confidential approach
For roles where a more targeted approach is required, our specialist search service provides a dedicated and bespoke recruitment solution.
Alongside our existing networks and candidate relationships, we undertake targeted research and advertising to identify and approach professionals who may not currently be looking for a new opportunity.
This can be particularly valuable where:
- the role requires specific or specialist experience
- the candidate market is limited
- the appointment is senior or business-critical
- the assignment is confidential
- you are recruiting for a defined project or programme
- you need to reach professionals who are not actively seeking a move
We work discreetly and professionally throughout the process, protecting confidentiality for both the organisation and potential candidates.

More than a CV
A CV tells you what someone has done.
Our role is to help you understand how their experience could translate into your organisation.
We discuss candidates’ experience, motivations, aspirations and suitability in depth, giving you a more informed view before you decide who to meet.
We can also provide insight into:
Candidate availability
Understanding who is currently available and who may be open to the right opportunity.
Market conditions
Providing insight into the recruitment market and the availability of relevant skills and experience.
Candidate motivations
Understanding why someone is considering a move and what they are looking for from their next appointment.
Salary and market expectations
Helping you understand the expectations of the market when appropriate to the assignment.
⸻
Access to people beyond the active market
Some of the strongest candidates are not actively looking for another position.
Our long-term relationships mean that we are often able to speak with experienced professionals before they begin actively searching for their next opportunity.
This gives our clients access to a broader candidate market and can be particularly valuable for specialist, senior or confidential appointments.
⸻
Our areas of expertise
We recruit experienced professionals across a range of public-sector functions, including:
Education
Adults & Older People
Children’s Services
Change & Transformation
Project & Programme Management
Procurement
We also recruit experienced middle managers, senior managers, project professionals and directors across these areas.

A personal approach to recruitment
We believe the best recruitment relationships are built over time.
Our aim is not simply to fill a vacancy. It is to become a trusted recruitment partner who understands your organisation and can support you when you need to attract the right people.
The right person. The right organisation. The right opportunity.
