Riverhouse Partners

Riverhouse Partners is a retained executive search team specialising in exceptionally effective executive recruitment with no borders, bias or boxes. The firm supports capital owners in developed and growth regions across public and private markets, searching globally and thinking laterally to bring together ambitious organisations and uncommonly diverse talent for future business. Each proposal is rooted in a deep understanding of client goals, requirements and company culture, with the team asking questions, embracing concerns and challenging the expected to deliver clarity and confidence where others may falter.

The company works across multiple sectors, serving private equity funds, global asset managers, private investment companies and leadership development experts. Riverhouse Partners relishes one-off client challenges and supporting candidates' careers rather than fulfilling hundreds of searches. The firm has a strong track record of delivering firsts in jurisdictions where the required profile does not exist, with 65 per cent of candidates placed outside the UK between 2019 and 2021, and one in three successful placements representing a new role, function or location for the team.

Operating from six global locations, Riverhouse Partners is distinguished by its diverse team of 62 different nationalities speaking nine languages across its offices. Clients choose the firm for its speed and efficiency resulting from rigorous search processes and ongoing transparent communication, with a 94 per cent success rate of candidates succeeding long term for two years or longer and a 98 per cent completion rate of retained searches in the last four years. Over two decades, the company has actively championed workplace equity, diversity and inclusion, underpinning its belief that meritocracy is mission-critical to organisational success.
