GatenbySanderson is a privately held staffing and recruiting company operating in the staffing and human resources industry. We were founded in 2003 and are headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom.

We identify, recruit and develop exceptional leaders to navigate complex challenges and transform public services. We operate within complex markets that frequently undergo change and are subject to governance, external audit and public scrutiny.

To deliver our services, we combine market knowledge with deep networks and people intelligence across our executive search, interim leadership and leadership and talent consultancy offerings. In Executive Search we identify, recruit and develop the best talent; our teams hold unrivalled knowledge of their markets and have nurtured deep networks and unique people intelligence. The risk of employing the wrong individual at senior levels is huge, with the potential for catastrophic impact. A repeat business rate of over 70% demonstrates the quality we deliver. In Interim Leadership, we provide senior specialists who can hit the ground running to support agile workforces and leadership transitions. We tailor solutions to organisations facing demanding, change-led environments. In Leadership & Talent Consultancy, we support leadership development and help individuals fulfil their leadership potential, including board diagnostics and culture audits backed by data-led insights.
