ABOUT US
At Hamilton Woods, we believe the right role can transform a life — and the right person can transform a business.
Our mission is simple: to connect people with opportunities that empower them to thrive. We know recruitment is more than just matching skills to job specs, it’s about understanding ambitions, cultures, and what truly drives people.
That’s why we put relationships and integrity at the centre of everything we do. Our consultants are specialists in their markets, combining deep sector knowledge with a genuine commitment to doing the right thing, every time.
We’ve built a culture that values authenticity, accountability, and continuous growth, because we know that when our people feel supported, they deliver their best. And when we deliver our best, so do our clients and candidates.
At Hamilton Woods, we’re not just recruiters, we’re partners in progress
Our Growth Journey
At Hamilton Woods, our journey has always been fuelled by purpose, to redefine recruitment through integrity, performance, and genuine partnerships. From day one, we’ve focused on building something meaningful, a consultancy that delivers with precision and care.
Conception & Early Momentum
Founded in 2019, Hamilton Woods brought together specialists with a shared belief in doing things differently. We set out to challenge industry norms with a performance-driven, relationship-first approach, combining niche expertise with a fresh perspective.
Adaptation & Stabilisation
As the world shifted in 2020, so did we. Transitioning rapidly to remote working, we continued to grow despite uncertainty, launching new divisions, opening our East Midlands base, and moving into our Castle Donington headquarters. This period was defined by resilience and adaptability.
Expansion into New Divisions
With a solid foundation in place, we moved into our next phase, broadening our reach through strategic growth. A key milestone was the launch of our Housing & Property Services division, driven by increasing client demand and a need for sector-specific expertise. The success of this division is a testament to the dedication and leadership of Associate Director Bethan Hall, whose commitment and vision have been instrumental in its continued growth and impact.
Leadership & Strategic Alignment
The appointment of James Wood as Managing Director marked a new era. Under his leadership, integrity was firmly established as a core value — not just in how we operate internally, but in how we engage with clients and candidates. Alongside a refined strategy and renewed investment in branding, marketing, and digital presence, this values-driven approach helped elevate our market position and align our team with a shared sense of purpose.
Sustained Growth & Market Impact
Today, Hamilton Woods is gaining real traction as a trusted recruitment partner. We've built strong, long-term relationships with a growing number of clients and continue to expand our reach across sectors. Backed by a dynamic team and a clear sense of purpose, we’re well-positioned for the next phase of our journey.

Testimonials
“We have recently been recruiting for two roles within our sheltered housing team. Lucie has been amazing and a great help to us, and she has found us two amazing candidates. Lucie’s communication has been second to none and she has stayed in regular contact at every step. Hoping these two candidates go on to have long careers with us.”
Ian Wood - Service Manager
I have worked with Bethan for a number of years and brought that relationship with me to every company since. Bethan is a true professional and a credit to the recruitment industry, a very knowledgeable person who knows how to adapt with different clients needs. Bethan exceeds expectation on every level and the service you get when Bethan is part of your project is just second to none. I always look forward to working with Bethan as a preffered supply chain partner.
