What our people say

At H&P, our culture speaks for itself. From graduates finding their feet to leaders shaping the future of the business, our people share a common drive – to learn fast, grow together, and make an impact.

Here’s what life at H&P really looks like from those living it every day.

“I joined H&P as an experienced hire to build out our L&D function, and since then we’ve launched the Graduate Academy and clear progression pathways across the business. Since introducing the new programme, we’ve seen our fastest graduate progression and strongest retention to date.

The leadership team here is agile and genuinely empowers people to deliver what they’re great at. It’s ambitious, collaborative, and exciting to help shape how we grow.”

– Matt Franklin, Head of Learning & Development

“I joined H&P as a graduate and, like anyone new to recruitment, it took time to understand the legal market and find my focus. The team and our structured training sessions really helped – within seven months, I closed my first 360 deal.

What I love most is the culture. We’re an ambitious team with a great mix of backgrounds and experiences. It’s fun, fast-paced, and supportive. I’ve also helped launch our Women’s Network, which has been motivating to see grow.”

– Saisha Mamtora, Consultant, German Legal

“When I joined H&P one of my biggest challenges was learning how to gauge client and candidate interest. I had a lot to learn, but the management team were always approachable, consistent, and supportive.

Fast forward a few years, I now lead our Benelux Legal practice – managing a team and helping others develop their own careers. The structure and culture here really set you up to succeed. You’re trusted to take ownership, supported when you need it, and encouraged to build something you’re proud of.”

– John Andrews, Head of Benelux Legal
