Head of HR, FTSE-100 company
We work with you to gain a deep understanding of your business, culture, and the specific requirements of the role. This allows us to craft a precise search strategy that targets top-tier talent who will not only meet the brief but also align with your long-term vision.
Our team conducts an extensive market mapping exercise, leveraging our deep industry networks and proprietary data to identify and engage with a curated list of exceptional candidates. This proactive approach ensures we engage with the best passive talent that may not be actively seeking a new role.
We rigorously assess a longlist of potential candidates against the agreed criteria, conducting in-depth interviews and vetting their experience, skills, and cultural fit. We present you with a concise shortlist of the most qualified individuals, providing comprehensive profiles and our expert recommendations.
Once a candidate is selected, we manage the offer negotiation and provide support throughout the onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition. Our commitment extends beyond placement, as we stay in close contact to ensure a successful integration and long-term success.
The CMO Report is a highly regarded and widely recognised annual publication, featuring perspectives from some of the most influential marketing leaders across Europe and North America.

We integrate DEI into every stage of our hiring process. Our specialists proactively source talent from beyond traditional networks, craft inclusive job descriptions, and design the entire process to mitigate unconscious bias.

Our team provides data-driven insights into the talent landscape, helping clients benchmark diversity, understand representation challenges, and make informed, future-focused hiring decisions.
Our DEI approach helps deliver tangible outcomes and benefits for your business, including:
At tml Partners, we connect leading marketing and commercial talent with world-leading companies. Whether you’re looking to fill a leadership role or find your next career challenge, we’re here to help you achieve your ambitions.
Alongside executive search, we provide specialist recruitment solutions to support the critical teams reporting to C-Suite leaders. This includes senior management appointments, interim talent, and team builds across marketing and commercial functions – ensuring businesses have the right capability and succession planning in place.
Executive search recruitment is a specialist hiring service focused on sourcing senior leaders and C-suite executives for critical business roles. Unlike traditional recruitment, executive search uses a research-led and highly proactive and network-driven approach to identify, engage, and assess high-performing leaders — including passive candidates who are not actively job hunting. At tml Partners, executive search focuses on marketing, commercial, sales, product, and communications leadership appointments across Europe and North America.
tml Partners recruits senior marketing and commercial leaders across a broad range of disciplines. This includes Chief Marketing Officers, Chief Commercial Officers, Chief Growth Officers, Chief Customer Officers, Product Leaders, Sales Directors, Corporate Affairs executives, Investor Relations leaders, and Revenue Operations specialists. We work with global organisations across sectors including technology, financial services, consumer markets, professional services, sports, and private equity-backed businesses.
The executive search process typically begins with a detailed briefing and search strategy, followed by market mapping and candidate research. Search consultants then engage and assess senior candidates through interviews, benchmarking, and leadership evaluation before presenting a shortlist. Once a preferred candidate is selected, the search firm supports offer negotiation, onboarding, and integration. tml Partners uses a research-led methodology designed to access both active and highly passive executive talent.
Niche headhunters, such as marketing headhunters or sales headhunters, possess active, vetted relationships with passive talent pools that generalist firms cannot access. Because marketing, commercial and revenue operations are continually evolving alongside technology and AI, our deep functional specialism allows us to assess technical marketing competencies, data literacy, and revenue attribution metrics with greater accuracy than generalist search consultants.
