Company Secretarial Recruitment Specialists
Ingen Partners supports organisations recruiting Company Secretaries, governance professionals and board support specialists across permanent, interim and executive appointments.
Company secretarial roles can vary considerably between organisations. One appointment may focus on board and committee support, while another may include listed-company governance, subsidiary oversight, regulatory responsibilities and leadership of a wider secretariat.
We take time to understand the board, reporting line, team structure and priorities behind each vacancy. This allows us to identify candidates whose experience reflects the real scope of the role, rather than relying on job title alone.
Roles We Recruit
We regularly support recruitment for:
- Company Secretaries
- Group Company Secretaries
- Deputy Company Secretaries
- Assistant Company Secretaries
- Heads of Governance
- Governance Managers and Officers
- Board and Committee Support Professionals
Our work covers UK listed companies, FCA-regulated organisations, professional services firms, private groups and growing businesses.
For employers preparing to hire, our guide to recruiting a Company Secretary explains the main decisions involved before beginning the process.
How We Support Appointments
Understand the requirement
We begin by understanding why the vacancy has arisen, how the role fits within the organisation and what the successful candidate will be expected to deliver.
Reach the right market
Suitable candidates may be identified through existing relationships, referrals, targeted research and direct approaches. For senior or confidential appointments, this may involve a structured Company Secretary Search
Assess relevant experience
We look beyond job titles and qualifications, considering board exposure, governance complexity, regulatory experience, leadership responsibility and communication style.
Manage the appointment
We support clients and candidates through interviews, feedback, references, remuneration discussions and the offer process.
Why Organisations Choose Ingen Partners
Governance specialists
We focus exclusively on company secretarial, governance and board support recruitment. Our recruitment perspective is informed by direct experience of hiring and running company secretarial teams, as well as recruiting governance professionals for clients.
Quality over quantity
Our aim is to introduce candidates who genuinely fit the role and organisation, not simply provide the longest shortlist.
Honest market advice
We provide realistic guidance on candidate availability, salary expectations, notice periods and recruitment timescales, helping clients make informed hiring decisions.
Access to experienced professionals
Many governance professionals are not actively applying for new roles. Our network and targeted approach help clients reach candidates beyond the advertised market.
Long-term appointments
Every search is built around finding candidates with the technical expertise, judgement and boardroom confidence to succeed in the role and contribute over the long term.
