Specialist Finance, HR, and Executive Recruitment
Taking a people-first approach to business growth
Seymour John Shropshire & Powys is the leading end-to-end Finance recruitment consultancy across Powys, Shropshire, Staffordshire and into the West Midlands. Against a backdrop of geo-political and economic uncertainty, we secure the high-quality finance teams businesses need for transformation and growth.
Making the right connections
As a sector specialist recruitment company, Seymour John can discreetly delve into a deep pool of passive talent, headhunting the best person for the job, not the best person who is available. When getting it wrong can cost up to three times a role's annual salary, we mitigate risk, delivering a good return on investment by helping ensure you get it right.

Why the best passive candidates only respond
to niche sector specialist consultancies and
peer-to-peer referrals — not to cold outreach.
How we work
We are business partners to our clients, and trusted advisors to our candidates. As such, we are aspirational advocates for both. After all, a successful outcome should be the right fit for all.
The benchmark in recruitment
Our promise:
- To operate with total honesty, integrity, and transparency at all times
- To personally meet with every candidate under consideration for a vacancy we are supporting
- To consult with every client in person to understand the requirement in detail
Sophisticated profiling support
When getting it wrong can cost as much as three times the role’s annual salary, our sophisticated profiling and psychometric assessment tools help you get it right first time, every time. Offering accurate and predictive insight into a candidate’s personality, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal style, we use them to ensure a cultural as well as technical-capabilities-based fit.
The people you need when you need them
In times of transition, organisations need a range of flexible talent options. Whether it is expertise to fill a knowledge gap, a Finance team to usher in change or an interim leader to maintain business as usual while you recruit for a permanent role, we secure the talent you need, when you need it.

Seymour John has acted for me in securing both a European and a UK Financial Controller. During these challenging processes, they have been a constant support, providing good quality candidates and an excellent interface when evaluating them. They have always understood my exacting requirements and responded accordingly. I trust them implicitly and greatly respect their honesty and integrity. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
