What We Do - Specialist HR Recruitment
Connecting organisations with exceptional HR talent
Macmillan Davies is a specialist HR recruitment consultancy, connecting organisations with exceptional HR professionals across the UK and internationally.
As the UK’s longest-established specialist HR recruitment consultancy, we understand the HR talent market and the people who work within it. From emerging HR professionals taking the next step in their careers to experienced specialists and senior HR leaders, we recruit across the breadth of the HR function.
We work with organisations across the private, public and third sectors, recruiting permanent, interim and executive HR talent. Whatever the brief, our focus is the same: finding the best HR candidates in the market, not simply the best people actively on the market.
Our specialist HR recruiters build long-term relationships with HR professionals throughout their careers. That gives our clients access to established HR talent networks, specialist market knowledge and candidates who may not be actively looking for their next opportunity.
For our candidates, it means having an HR recruitment partner who understands their experience, ambitions and the wider HR talent market – supporting them from early-career opportunities through to senior leadership and C-suite appointments.

A specialist approach to HR recruitment
No two HR recruitment assignments are the same. Our approach is built around understanding your organisation, its culture, the HR function and what success in the role really looks like.
We combine established HR talent networks with targeted search and specialist market knowledge to identify the right people for each assignment.
Our recruitment solutions include permanent HR recruitment, interim HR recruitment, fixed-term appointments and executive search, giving clients the flexibility to access the HR expertise they need at every level.
We believe successful HR recruitment is about more than filling a vacancy. It is about creating long-term partnerships, providing informed insight into the HR talent market and connecting organisations with people who can make a genuine difference.
