Nicholas Barton, Founder and CEO: Nicholas founded The
Barton Partnership in late 2007 and has succeeded in building a niche
executive recruitment firm with an enviable reputation within the
Strategy, Transformation and M&A arena. From a standing start, he
has built a team of professionals renowned not only for their talent
acquisition skills but also their subject matter expertise with offices in
London, Europe, New York, and Asia.
Throughout his career, he has specialized in, and successfully executed,
on over 250 senior retained and contingent assignments across
Commerce, Financial Services and Professional Services both in the UK
and Internationally.
In his spare time (when such a thing exists) Nicholas likes to spend
time with his family, renovating his house (which will be a never-
ending project), is an avid film watcher and keeps fit by playing tennis
and going to the gym.

“We provide a one-stop shop by possessing the capability to build an entire team or
orchestrate a team move for our clients by working across all levels, from Analyst to
Partner. This integrated approach saves clients from using more than one search firm and
helps us to provide candidates who we know to be well matched culturally and technically.”
market. The company strives to fully
understand the market in which
you operate, your business, the
challenges you are facing and your
requirements in order for them to
deliver the right individuals at the
right time. The secret to its success
isn’t just in the identification of the
right individuals but ensuring the
‘fit’ is right. “When the firm works
on any assignment our ethos has
always been that we would rather
send three profile CVs for individuals
that have been met with by one of
our consultants and fully qualified to
ensure their interest in the position
and company, rather than 5-6 profiles
of people that could be relevant,” says
Nicholas Barton, Founder and CEO.
A testament to this approach is
reflected in the fact that in the last
3 years 84% of the individuals it
has placed are at the same company
with 50% at the same company but
in a different role - only 16% are
at a different company and different
position!
The Barton Partnership commits
to only undertake a select number
of assignments at any one time
thus guaranteeing that it is not
diluting its service level offering.
The firm’s business has been
built on this principle, which is
reflected in the repeat business
that it receives from its clients.
