Ultimate Search. Where Better Leadership Begins.
Difference Delivered.
Who we are
At Ultimate Search, we do things differently. We’re here to break the cycle of the traditional headhunt, where the same names get recycled, and diversity is an afterthought.
We believe businesses thrive when leadership teams bring fresh perspectives. That’s why our executive and NED search process is designed to challenge groupthink, broaden your talent pool, and introduce real diversity of thought.
And for leaders ready to make a real impact?
We go beyond the CV to understand your values, strengths, and leadership style, connecting you with opportunities where you can truly thrive.
Diversity as standard:
Our searches are designed to focus on difference, not repetition. We don’t just shortlist the expected — we introduce the people who can take you further.
No CVs, no assumptions:
Instead of filtering through the usual career histories, we use tailored ‘killer questions’ to dig deeper into what a candidate can actually bring to your team.
Search that’s actually a search:
We don’t just pull from a database – we start from scratch every time, seeking out leaders who wouldn’t otherwise be found.

Difference Delivered.

Ultimate Search is a specialist offering from the team at Ultimate Banking: the trusted name in recruitment for mortgage and specialist lenders.
Led by Claire and Tim, it was born from a clear need: to bring the same care, rigour, and results Ultimate are known for to board-level and executive appointments. Not a rebrand. The same values, now focused on a second challenge in the market.
Driven by a strong belief in inclusive hiring and the transformative power of the right people, Ultimate Search brings fresh thinking and deep sector insight to board-level recruitment.
