Why Clients Trust Hazel
At Hazel Executive & Boards, trust isn’t just a value — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
Our founder brings decades of deep expertise working alongside government departments, agencies, not-for-profits, educational institutions, and other purpose-driven organisations. This experience has shaped Hazel into a trusted partner — one that Chairs, Boards, and executives turn to when leadership matters most. They know we operate with integrity, insight, and care.
We’re known for our warm, humble, and human approach. We listen first — tailoring every engagement to reflect our clients’ unique cultures, challenges, and ambitions. Respect and empathy guide every interaction, whether with a client, candidate, or stakeholder.
Our retained search model ensures we fully commit to each assignment. We take time to understand what’s truly needed — beyond just a role description — and limit our concurrent searches to ensure deep research, engagement, and strategy.
Trust is equally important in our relationships with candidates. We treat every candidate with honesty and respect, ensuring a transparent and supportive experience. Through open communication and genuine connection, we build long-term relationships that lead to better outcomes and stronger matches.
Many of Hazel’s partnerships span years — a testament to the mutual trust, shared values, and consistent results we deliver.
