Charlton Morris is a global executive search consultancy specialising in the medical, life sciences and industrial markets. It was founded in 2013 with a team of just nine and focused on permanent recruitment. The company has grown rapidly yet organically and now has more than 70 employees.
In 2020, a contracts division launched, as did a new principal consultant scheme that gives more flexibility to experienced staff not wanting to progress into management. The new programme also allows to Charlton Morris to hire remotely in areas including London and Manchester. At the same time, the company moved into state-of-the-art new offices in Leeds City Centre.
Charlton Morris prides itself on leading the way in recruitment with industry-leading content – employees act as thought-leaders and not just recruiters – and in terms of the technology it utilises. Both provide added value for clients – and 99% of them recommend the company as a search partner.
Retention and growth at Charlton Morris comes down to a number of factors: the business place a huge emphasis on employee wellbeing, with initiatives in place to support both mental and physical wellbeing; a drive to improve diversity and inclusion that gives employees a voice; and company-wide support for giving something back.
Charlton Morris is dedicated to the development of its team and, from a new joiner's very first day, provides a comprehensive blended training programme. More experienced employees are encouraged to undertake additional development courses to help them achieve their professional and personal goals.
My manager cares about how satisfied I am in my job
In September 2020, the entire management team was signed up to a year-long course called The Leadership Team to help them lead – particularly remotely – more effectively. MD Andy Shatwell and OD Tom Maskill also coach managers individually to ensure leadership policy cascades down from the team rather than a group of individuals.
I have confidence in the leadership skills of the senior management team
The company significantly ramped up its comms strategy during the pandemic via Slack, and with the celebration of lots of “little wins” throughout. Videos every four weeks updated staff on the business, its achievements and targets – and further meetings included live sessions that people could attend and ask questions.
I love working for this organisation
Charlton Morris has undertaken a confidential conversation between HR and every single employee to check how they are feeling ahead of returning to the office. A reoccupation guide outlines every step being taken to make the environment as safe as possible – and what behaviour is expected of people to protect colleagues.
