Who We Work With

“Stanton House supported us to hire an Interim Finance Director for one of our portfolio companies. The candidate has been brought in to provide additional capacity for the Finance function and help deliver an exit later in the year. Stanton House provided a strong shortlist of suitable candidates and provided honesty about their suitability. We would happily work with Stanton House on other leadership appointments moving forward.”

Investment Director, Mid-Market PE Fund

“I have worked exclusively with Stanton House to place my two direct reports, a Group Financial Controller and Head of FP&A, as well as a senior qualified member in the finance team. Throughout all processes, they have been brilliant to work with, providing exceptionally strong shortlists and making my decision on which candidates to go with difficult, a great position to be in. They ran a fast and a smooth process, ensuring the preferred candidate accepted the position without any difficulties. I would highly recommend Stanton House for senior financial recruitment to any other PE backed business due to their market knowledge, clear communication and strong candidate network”

I have been in touch with Stanton House for a number of months from a candidate perspective but after recently joining a new client as the Interim CFO, I reached out to the team to assist with an important hire for the business. Stanton House showed great tenacity with the search and provided a strong shortlist for us to review. They knew exactly what our needs were and moved quickly to find a solution. They managed the offer process expertly which ultimately resulted in a successful outcome for the business. We have been very impressed with the service we received and would welcome the opportunity to work with them again."
