Stanhope Search was founded in 2017 by Mohammed Al-Khalifa as a boutique consulting firm, focused on providing discreet and high quality talent acquisition and talent management services to the banking and financial services sector.

We work in close partnership with our clients, supporting their business strategies with market intelligence and innovative recruitment methods to service their requirements and plans. Our team comprises sector specialists, with a combination of industry and human resources knowledge and an outstanding track record of delivery. We operate across wealth management, private banking, retail banking, corporate and investment banking and asset management and we are proud to have assisted our clients in the UK, Switzerland and the Middle East.

Since inception, we have completed more than 1000 client engagements, including retained executive searches, contingent recruitment projects, team builds and market intelligence initiatives and we have developed both a sizeable database and comprehensive market maps from Board and C-level executives downwards. Our research-driven approach allows us to offer access to both differentiated data sets and exclusive candidates, along with speed and accuracy.
