Dryden Search

Dryden Search was established in 2019 to redefine the traditional view of executive search recruitment. The company partners with organisations to source the very best senior talent through proactive engagement and assessment rather than advertising. With over 40 years of combined experience across the leadership team, Dryden Search understands the unique differences and skills required for research, delivery and fee-generating hires at all levels.

Dryden Search specialises in executive search across finance, governance, general management, legal, human resources and private equity sectors. The company offers retained assignments for director and partner level hiring, drawing on deep networks within these industries. Additionally, Dryden Search provides compensation analysis, offering research-led solutions to internal and external benchmarking with highly personalised reports tailored for co-founders and CEOs seeking to identify compensation trends, external competition and commission schemes.

Operating from London, Dryden Search also brings first-hand experience of building out recruitment operations across the United States, supporting firms seeking to expand across the East Coast and providing hiring managers and candidates with real-time data insights into the current marketplace. Clients choose Dryden Search for its combination of strategic market knowledge, extensive professional networks and consultants with proven track records in developing high-performing teams and identifying exceptional talent across senior levels.
