Senior Search Consultant | Regulatory Affairs & Policy | UK
Hanson Search is a specialist executive search consultancy, known for the depth of our networks and the quality of our client relationships. We're proud to be a certified BCorp, and we back that up with a genuinely values-led, entrepreneurial culture where consultants are given the autonomy to build their own desk, their own brand, and their own success.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Search Consultant with a strong track record of billing performance to join our Public Affairs, Policy & Regulatory Affairs team in the UK. You could come from the Policy, Public Affairs or Regulatory Affairs industry or from a recruitment or executive search background - what matters most is your network and your credibility with senior professionals in this market. This is a 360-degree role for someone who loves winning new business as much as delivering for clients and candidates, and who is ready to build a market-leading desk within one of our most established specialisms.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
