We find and develop leaders that shape a better society.
Since our launch in 2003, GatenbySanderson has built a people business with service as its core. We work with some of the UK’s most influential leaders responsible for shaping our communities, our national security and prosperity, our education, healthcare and charity to others. We are the only executive search and development business dedicated to public services. Our ambition remains to be at the heart of those things that matter most to society.
We are market leaders in five of our chosen markets and have pursued an active growth plan since launch. Our Leadership and Talent Consultancy practice has doubled its contribution in the last 12 months as well as being the sole provider of senior civil service talent assessment. In Executive Search, we continue to deliver year on year growth, establishing new markets and specialisms.
We have also made significant headway into newer markets like Housing and Higher Education, offering clients greater insight across sectors, board expertise and a ceaseless drive to deliver diversity in its broadest sense. Our Technology and Transformation practice has appointed some of the country’s leading technology experts to transform data, infrastructure and security across the public landscape.

Simple and meaningful values.
Our values can be summed up in three words: Collaboration, Courage and Curiosity.
Collaboration – we make time to build relationships, trust others and give people freedom to make decisions.
Courage – we encourage you to challenge the status quo and speak up when you have something to contribute, even if it means failing and learning for next time.
Curiosity – we constantly question, challenge and explore to build ours and others’ knowledge.
Organisations which embrace diversity at all levels perform better – they are more profitable, more resilient, and their employees are more productive and experience higher job satisfaction. We support organisations to find and develop leaders that reflect the society they serve.
To embed a more pioneering, diverse culture within GS, we have created an internal working group to champion, drive and challenge all aspects of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Diversity is embedded into our process
Using our in-depth public sector insight, data analytics and in-house team of occupational psychologists, we do more than just help clients find candidates from a wide talent pool. We advise clients through every step of the recruitment process on how to remove barriers and facilitate candidates from all backgrounds.
