Exceptionally effective executive search

No borders, bias or boxes for your next hire. 

Riverhouse Partners is a retained executive search team, supporting capital owners in developed and growth regions across public and private markets. Searching globally, thinking laterally, we bring together ambitious organisations and uncommonly diverse talent for future business.

Underpinning your talent decision making

Each proposal you review will be rooted in a deep understanding of your goals, requirements and company culture. By asking questions, embracing concerns and challenging the expected, we deliver where others may falter, giving you the clarity and confidence to progress.

Clients share our outward-looking mindset, making us especially effective. Irrespective of the sector, they believe that meritocracy is mission-critical. Our team debates talent’s transformative power in multiple languages, sharing a passion for the sheer possibilities of search to help shape organisations and create a more rounded world. Additionally, clients can rely on speed and efficiency as a result of our rigorous search process and ongoing, transparent communication.

Candidates as strong as your vision and values.

Benefit from fresh perspectives, insightful guidance and new opportunities.

Difficult searches, delivered globally

The best talent is a rare commodity, but we know there is an individual out there, if in an unexpected context or corner, who will prove exceptional. You will find our team tenacious on your behalf, driven by this unwavering conviction and supported by the reach of our international network.

We have a strong track record of delivering firsts in jurisdictions where the profile of the person required does not exist. We relish one-off client challenges, and supporting candidates’ careers, rather than fulfilling hundreds of searches.
