When it really matters to you
When diversity really matters to you
Since launching in 2019, Conker has been committed to change the face of the industry one placement at a time. We ensure that all of our longlists are always representative of minority, under-represented, marginalised and hard to reach talent. And we have always been transparent and proud of our track record.

of all our placements are from minority or under-represented groups
We are also proud to be the exclusive talent partner and sponsor of Media For All or MEFA, as well as a supporter of The Hobbs Consultancy work on Neurodiversity and play active roles within WACL (the club whose mission it is to accelerate gender equality in our industry).
Attracting talent from under-represented groups is of paramount importance to us and Conker have been incredible partners in helping us achieve this.

When compatibility really matters to you
What looks good on paper (or AI) doesn’t always translate to success inside your business because capabilities and experience are just two of several ingredients that are needed.
Conker has built proprietary IP that provides a unique window into the leadership styles and motivations of the industry’s finest talent. Armed with this additional data, our clients have been able to make better informed choices. We call it non-artificial intelligence.
Conker Inside gave us an instant snapshot of my leadership team and the type of individual that we needed to be a fully rounded unit.

When discovery really matters to you
Every search adviser at Conker has run a business and/or a large team and has been responsible for high-stakes hiring. This unique position gives us unrivalled access to talent that are unlikely to respond to opportunities on LinkedIn or via email. Consequently, our response rates are second to none.
Conker were able to unlock a level and quality of talent that we had never met before and we found the whole process extremely powerful.
James Hilton Chairman, M&C Saatchi Performance
Sometimes the answer to your brief may already sit within your business – and we think it’s only right that your internal stars are given the opportunity to shine. But it’s also incumbent on every business to test the strength of their bench against the best in the industry. Conker has the tools to make robust but fair comparisons for you to make confident and informed decisions.
The answer to our senior search was already in the business. But only by going through the Conker process could we assess our talent against the best in the market which gave us, and our chosen leader, the confidence to know they were the very best choice.
