Where we work
Two offices, three regions of client experience
Our United Kingdom and Philippines offices give us working hours that overlap Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Research, engagement and client contact run across those time zones rather than being confined to one market.
How technology supports our work
Research supported by technology. Decisions made by people.
Research tools and market data help Bershaw improve coverage, visibility and pace. Experienced consultants remain responsible for every relationship, assessment and recommendation presented to a client.
What we believe
Four behaviours that shape every search.
- Understand before searching
- Define the business outcome, not only the job description.
- Represent every conversation well
- Protect the client's reputation and the candidate's confidentiality.
- Recommend with judgement
- Explain why a person fits, where the risks sit and what requires further assessment.
- Measure what lasts
- Look beyond acceptance to retention and contribution.
