A specialist, not a generalist

Recruitment is a people business.
Ours is built on knowing people.

Job boards only show you who is looking. We know who is ready for the right conversation - even if they haven’t started looking yet.

The person behind Hamilton George

Thirteen years building Hamilton George.
Still built around trust.

Since founding Hamilton George in 2013, I’ve seen the recruitment market change in almost every way. But the part that matters most hasn’t changed: knowing when to listen and recognising when an introduction is the right fit.

I built the business to offer something more personal than volume recruitment. That means better conversations and higher-quality searches. It means honest advice, even when the answer is no, and relationships that last well beyond a placement.

Today, I work with recruitment leaders and experienced recruiters across the UK, Europe and the US, bringing thirteen years of market knowledge to every search and every career decision.

“The best recruitment decisions aren’t simply the quickest. They’re the ones that still feel right years later.”

What people remember

Good moves speak for themselves.

Greg was great - he helped me land my dream job, someone I've looked up to in my own recruitment as a real role model! Works with great professionalism and great character overall. Thanks Greg!

01Jordan Harding - Senior Recruitment Consultant - Commissioning & Architecture - Data Centres

I can’t recommend Greg highly enough! From the start, he really took the time to understand my concerns, what I was looking for, and how I was feeling throughout the process. He provided genuinely tailored opportunities that aligned with what I wanted, rather than pushing interviews with every business.

02Maya Malkan - Principal Consultant - Global Recruitment Partner

Greg has been an excellent recruiter throughout my job search. He took the time to listen to and understand my situation, and arranged interviews with companies that were a great fit for what I was looking for. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend trusting Greg with your job search. :)
