Our
Values
Integrity
Many of us have experienced the often transactional nature of recruiting and talent acquisition. It’s important for both clients and candidates to be honest about the opportunity, the culture and the challenges that naturally come with senior positions. We take pride in our work and look to build relationships that are inherent to the mission of our business.
Trust
As a trusted talent acquisition partner, we provide confidential services and take pride in our ability to engage with a wide range of stakeholders. Working with candidates who have so much at stake means we ask them to put their trust in us. Known for our integrity, our ability to navigate challenges and our commitment, we provide high touch service and complete our assignments and deliver the right talent at the right time.
Curiosity
Curiosity is a core value at Sandymount Search. We are always learning and adapting and believe that deep listening skills are vital to our understanding of the search for outstanding talent. With our background in psychology, and our decades of work in a range of industries and sectors, we are polymaths who love nothing more than to dig in and ask questions!
Respect
We value equity, inclusion and dignity for all. We strive for excellence and recognize that our differences make us stronger. We respect and seek out inclusion of differences, realizing we can learn from each other. We promise to respect your time and energy and in return ask you to respect our experience and commitment to the work we do together. We recognize the work that needs to be done and are constantly researching the best way to build diverse teams.
