ABOUT US

How we power careers and businesses.
No fanfare. No egos. Just trust. And community.

Hewshott’s delivers permanent and interim solutions across all sectors and areas of HR.

Emma-Claire and Lisa combine their strong values of trust, integrity and loyalty with 25+ years of  functional knowledge and experience.

Their relationship-led approach has resulted in them building one of the most impressive communities of people professionals in the UK.

Their real superpower is the art of listening. Whether they are entrusted with a highly confidential brief or just having a casual chat, both quickly grasp commercial challenges and they deliver results swiftly and effectively.

“Hewshott Consulting is my way of continuing to support and grow the incredible community of people professionals which I have built over the past 25 years.
Essentially, I solve problems by connecting people. Often as a paid service for a specific brief, but also by connecting likeminded professionals so that they can share insights and mentor each other.

I love the power of community. We’re definitely stronger together.”

Emma-Claire Kavanagh

“For me, Hewshott Consulting is about championing people who help organisations thrive. I believe deeply in the value of real relationships, and I’m driven by the joy of connecting the right people at the right moment to create lasting impact”

testimonials

What people say about working with us.
Real feedback. Proven partnerships.

Thank you for being open, creative, collaborative, and outcome‑focused. Your solution‑oriented approach has been instrumental in building a strong and supportive partnership. Thank you.
Thank you for supporting our talent agenda brilliantly and helping us bring the best of the best into our company. For that I will always be grateful.
Sincere thanks for your energy and commitment and everything it stands for.
Working with Lisa is a great experience. Her professionalism and humanity always make any project fun and she works at pace with an eye to delivery all the time. She is pragmatic and thoughtful and is an excellent communicator. Strongly networked, Lisa manages her relationships with care and is well liked and trusted by her client group and her peers.
Lisa is adept at research, planning and is very well connected across the leadership and headhunting market and this plays through strongly in the output of her work. Highly professional but also caring with her time and advice as part of the candidate experience – with a good strong coaching style which has certainly benefitted me over the years. Always a pleasure.
You are the epitome of what a professional is and should be
I have worked with Emma-Claire for over 20 years where she has advised me in different businesses and sectors over that time. She is outstanding at what she does - she knows the market, knows the right people and is refreshingly open and honest - which is far too often lacking in the recruitment industry. I continue to work with her and would recommend her without hesitation
My relationship with Lisa is both Client and candidate, having worked very successfully with her and the team over the last 5 years. Commercial, organised, thoughtful, with the customer experience in mind, Lisa operates at the highest level which means as both a candidate and client, the outputs are top class.
I have always really admired the way you lead – with integrity, thoughtfulness and a strong sense of purpose
Emma-Claire builds strong relationships with clients and candidates alike, enabling her to apply a unique insight to create the best match. She has an unerring ability to provide candidates who match the brief both in what they can do and also how they go about it.
Emma-Claire is highly committed to the success of the client and candidate alike. She is engaged not just to the point of hire, but throughout the onboarding and assignment itself to ensure that all parties are satisfied and achieving the expected outcomes.
Working with Emma-Claire is both effective and fun. She is always available, always has a great candidate solution up her sleeve and always works completely collaboratively to land a positive outcome for everyone involved. This is why I return to her for support time after time.
Emma Claire is the most straightforward recruiting partner I have ever worked with. She cuts to the chase, focusing in on what the role really needs (which is often not well articulated in the actual role spec), and then conjures up perfect candidates who show up well briefed and fully engaged.
