We are first and foremost executive search consultants and our ability to access and engage the right candidates before converting them to applicants is our most valuable currency to you.

As a business created to supporting clients and candidates in the education, healthcare, not-for-profit sectors and the wider public services, a deep belief in equality, diversity and fairness is at the heart of our values.

Our role is to seek out talent in all its forms, identify future talent and challenge assumptions – we do this by having an open mind about sources of talent and we see it as our duty to actively challenge assumptions about what outstanding talent looks like.

At AQ we recognise that we have an important role to play in developing and promoting equality and diversity and we take this role seriously, in our advice to clients and our own employment practices.
