"The time you save in not making changes or taking risks can be used to perfect your current practices. Your employees will be grateful to you for letting them know exactly where they stand, and will reward you by being unimaginative, uninspired and unhappy."

About Courtenay HR

Mmmm… What to say? We could tell you about our 30+ year history. About how we were the first specialist HR executive search company. About the fact that our heritage describes us but doesn’t define us. About how we lead rather than follow. About how we are in it for long term results rather than short term gain. About how service is a core KPI in our business and sales isn’t. About how we are the first ‘specialist’ HR business to actually introduce an assessment process that’s relevant to HR.

We could.

Those things alone would set us apart from the rest in the business.

But it wouldn’t tell you what we are ‘about’. Would it?

In fact, reading a few paragraphs here won't tell you what you need to know. To really understand what we are ‘about’ we suggest a journey, around this site. It will at least give you a flavour.

We suggest you start by reading a story - click on "The Story of One" in the sub-menu to find out what it is really like to work with us.

If you do already know us but it’s been a while since we last connected, take a few minutes to catch up. Now that we are reunited, perhaps it won't be so long next time.
