About us.
Halcyon was born from female founders coming together, bonding over shared values, and a desire to do things differently.
We prioritise authenticity, hard work and happiness.
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.
In our world, you aren’t simply a number to be crunched.
Our mission
We recognise the value of being happy at work.
The impact it can have on company culture, productivity, career success as well as your personal life and relationships outside of work.
Through our human approach, our mission is to make a positive and lasting impact at every stage of our candidate and client journey.
Partnering with clients that share our values, placing the right candidates, into the right roles, at the right time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
