Connecting Talent, Creating Change.

Your next move

We’re Campbell Grove Talent,

not your typical financial recruitment agency


Born from a belief that the finance industry is strongest when it reflects the full spectrum of talent available. We are committed to creating opportunities for all underrepresented groups in finance, no matter your gender, age, ethnicity, personal limitations or educational background, we’re here to try and eliminate discrimination one step at a time. We hold a deeply personal dedication to supporting women’s career advancement and championing working parents, whose flexible working requirements have been overlooked for too long.

Too many brilliant people have had to choose between progression and family life, between being present parents and present leaders. We can’t change the world overnight, but we hope to change the narrative, one placement at a time.

We made a deliberate choice to use our maiden names. Why? Because we believe in the power of identity, the names we were born with, the ambitions we’ve always carried and the values we refuse to compromise on. Our maiden names represent who we were before society told us who we should be, our original ambitions, individual achievements and our right to maintain our professional identity alongside our personal choices.

Diversity

drives results


Because diverse finance teams drive better outcomes

Traditional recruitment misses incredible talent. Our mission is simple, to champion everyone with potential because diverse finance teams, with varied perspectives, will simply perform better.

The numbers don’t lie, and the industry needs a reality check.

  • Only 18-24% of UK CFOs are women
    Huge untapped potential at the top
  • 1 in 3 professionals feel age bias
    Experience being overlooked for the wrong reasons
  • Parents returning from leave
    Brilliant minds not getting fair support back into the workplace

We firmly believe that balanced leadership drives better results, and so many traditional views and practices need to change. We want to challenge the way businesses think, to ensure the best person for the job secures it, whilst supporting to build a finance community where every professional can thrive.

Our Promise to you

  • Champion exceptional talent
  • Challenge assumptions
  • Create opportunities for all

Flexible

working champions


Flexible working champions

Part-time does not mean part-committed. Life happens. Work should fit around it. Career and life shouldn't be an either/or choice. We’re committed to only working with progressive employers who understand that everyone has priorities beyond work. Employers that will provide flexible working, part time hours, or job share opportunities wherever possible to attract the best people for the job, despite their personal circumstances.

Companies are losing talent for all the wrong reasons. Statistics show that more than two thirds of working parents have considered quitting their jobs due to childcare costs, so companies are losing skilled professionals not because they lack ability, but because they lack flexibility.

Real Life, Real Solutions

The 9-5 wasn't designed for school runs – we live it, we get it.

  • School Run Reality
    Traditional hours don't always work for modern families
  • Special Moments Matter
    Missing milestones shouldn't be the price of career success
  • Pursue Your Passion
    From creative projects to further study – flexible roles that fit around what drives you

We’re passionate

about charity


We want to ensure we give back to society through the work we do and have chosen two charities we an incredibly passionate about, Pregnant Then Screwed and Tommy’s. Every invoice we charge, a percentage of that will be split between these two incredible charities.
