Tempest Jones Recruitment

Tempest Jones Recruitment is a director-led recruitment agency delivering retained and specialist recruitment solutions for businesses where hiring the right person is business-critical. The company operates on a selective, research-driven and relationship-led approach, working in partnership rather than volume to give every search the depth, discretion and attention it deserves. Tempest Jones provides retained executive search, senior and leadership appointments, contingent recruitment for specialist roles, and advisory support to help clients make informed decisions.

The agency specialises in two core sectors: built environment and financial services. In built environment, Tempest Jones provides specialist talent for consultancies and developers, offering retained executive search, strategic leadership appointments, technical specialists and confidential mandates. In financial services, the company delivers precision hiring for regulated, analytical and high-trust environments, including retained search assignments, senior and revenue-generating hires, niche technical talent, team builds and succession planning.

Tempest Jones operates from two physical locations: London and Darlington. The London office serves as the company headquarters, whilst the Darlington office supports clients across the North East region. The agency has built long-standing partnerships with major organisations including Clarion Housing Group, Drees & Sommer UK, Turner & Townsend and Mace, with some relationships spanning over 15 years. Clients choose Tempest Jones for their extensive market networks, consistency, market insight, commitment to delivery and ability to truly understand organisational culture and specific candidate requirements.
