Tempest Jones Recruitment

Tempest Jones Recruitment recruits for the built environment and financial services, with a focus on executive and management hiring across the UK. It was founded in 2012, and John Tempest is its founder and managing director.

Retained executive search is the core of the business. It is supported by contingent recruitment for specialist or project-based roles and by advisory support covering market mapping, salary benchmarking and succession planning. In the built environment it works with consultancies and developers, and its Director of Built Environment is networked in property, infrastructure and industrial markets. In financial services it recruits within regulated financial services and general insurance, including senior and revenue-generating hires and niche technical roles.

The company has offices in London, at Kings Cross, and in Darlington in the North East. It says it uses cloud-based tools and, where appropriate, AI-driven insights to support its research and candidate mapping.
