A breath of fresh air in the world of PA / EA and business support recruitment.

Good people know good people.

A female founded business combining years of experience and expert knowledge across the London market, placing the right candidates in the right roles.

The Halcyon approach is Human, Honest, Hard-working …. and Happy.

For us of course the ‘numbers’ count, but at Halcyon the numbers we care most about are the number of happy candidates we place in their ideal role and the number of happy clients we find their next perfect hire.

At Halcyon our standards are high
but it’s that teamed with our first class service and bespoke human touch in our candidate and client relationships that really stands out from the crowd.

In our world, you’re not simply a number to be crunched.

We have lived and breathed the business support recruitment world for years – we’re well connected and well respected in the market across industry sectors.

Whether it’s a perfect PA, outstanding Office Manager, a champion Chief of Staff or a ground breaking Graduate – we know what a good one looks like.

Good people know good people and we know how to perfectly match them together.

This is how we do it

Human.

We bring a high touch, personal approach to our candidate and client relationships and work with empathy and understanding. We’re humans not robots!

Honest.

We aren’t afraid to have the tough conversations when we need to. We believe honesty is always the best policy and builds the best long term relationships.

Hard-working.

We are a tenacious team with high energy and passion; we won’t stop until we find that perfect opportunity or that perfect hire.

Happy.

We believe life’s too short to be anything else – in everything we do there will always be the Halycon happiness factor.

What our clients say...

I’ve worked with Hannah for over 20 years, and she’s gone from guiding my personal career to helping me build admin teams in London and Europe. Her ability to know people, their needs and what they need to build their dream team is outstanding!

I’ve never not liked a candidate that she’s sent me. She has a gift of knowing who will fit your role and organisation and it’s not always what I’m looking for on paper, but I trust who she sends me will be perfect for the role.

I’ve always recommended Hannah to those I know and work with. Getting to know her and Halcyon Partners is well worth your time.

- Nadia Razaq, Client - Boutique Finance & Consultancy

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Hannah for several years as she’s supported us in recruiting for Receptionist and Executive Assistant roles, and she has been consistently exceptional. What sets Hannah apart is her rare ability to remember every client and candidate she works with. She recalls details and conversations with ease, which makes every interaction feel thoughtful and personal.

She builds genuine relationships, always taking the time to understand both the people and the needs behind each role. Hannah genuinely cares, and that shows in how she supports candidates through every step and ensures the right fit for both sides. She’s incredibly personable, professional, and reliable, and her warm, tailored approach has made her a trusted partner over the years. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

- Claire Heath, Client Private Family Office

I’ve known and worked with Mel and Charlotte for a long time, so when they launched Halcyon, it was an easy decision to reach out to them for support. They just get it – they take the time to properly understand the business, the team dynamic, and the circumstances you’re hiring into, which makes a huge difference.

At SailGP, finding people with the right experience is important – but finding those who also bring the right energy, mindset and fit for the culture is absolutely critical. Working with a recruitment partner who truly gets that, and who can represent your brand in the right way in the market, is something I don’t take for granted. Halcyon consistently bring us top-quality candidates who feel like a natural fit, and that’s not something every agency gets right.

The service is always spot on, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

- Jon Massie, Chief People and Technical Officer, SailGP

I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Charlotte on numerous Operations and Support searches over the past few years. No matter where I’ve worked, Charlotte has always been my go-to consultant.

What sets Charlotte apart is her personal approach – she takes the time to thoroughly understand not only the role and search criteria, but also the work environment and team culture. This allows her to identify the most suitable candidates quickly, streamlining the hiring process.

I’m consistently impressed with the high calibre of talent within her network. I highly recommend Charlotte and Halcyon without hesitation.
