At Connaught, we believe that our exceptional results are driven by values. Our consultative approach to recruitment is embedded in a set of beliefs about how we can do our best work on behalf of our clients—and about why our methods are so productive.
We operate according to four “guiding principles”, and these underpin all of our services. This values-based approach is at the root of why we inspire such trust and respect among both our clients and candidates. In turn, that trust powers ever better results.
Honesty and transparency are essential in fostering enduring relationships. We apply a partnership model across all our recruitment searches, and so mutual trust is essential to our operations. Our clients and candidates know that we will always act in their best interests.
Like our clients, we are committed to understanding; our knowledge powers the insightful, informed guidance we can offer them. We align a profound apprehension of the independent school sector with over two decades of experience, enabling us to stay at the forefront of emerging trends and developments in independent education, keeping our clients ahead of the curve.
We are dedicated to high performance. This unwavering dedication to enhancing our clients’ recruitment results drives everything we do. We explore every possible avenue in search of the right candidate. We adapt and evolve our methods constantly. And we are always innovating to meet the evolving needs of independent schools.
The success of any appointment is built on a deep understanding of both the unique culture of a school and the aspirations of the individuals we place. Empathy is therefore at the very heart of our work: we develop a total vision of our clients’ cultures and context – and place only those candidates we know will thrive within them.
