Hornsman Group is a boutique security-recruitment firm in London. Whether you are a business, a private individual, or acting on behalf of a family or organisation, we connect you with high-calibre security personnel. We take the stress out of sourcing and present the best matches for your job specification or your client's preferences.
Close protection, residential security teams, guarding and control-room leadership: whatever the permanent requirement, we run the search from brief to signed contract, and put forward only people we have met and vetted ourselves.
Because we hold a live, vetted network, we move quickly when a role opens, often with candidates ready to start rather than months of searching.
We are deliberately small. We take a limited number of mandates so that every search has our full attention, stays discreet, and answers to a single point of contact.
We know London, we know the people we represent, and you deal with us directly throughout, not a call centre and not a chain of account managers.
Requirements are rarely generic. You might need a close protection officer experienced with children who also speaks Urdu, or a residential team suited to a particular principal.
We take the exact brief and find candidates matched to it, whether that is your own specification or your client's preferences.
We pair a recruiter's judgement with our own bespoke software: candidates are matched to a brief by experience, skills, network and certifications, and every search and check is carried out by us.
Every decision stays with a person, and every candidate is met and vetted by us. We are committed to keeping data safe — held securely, shared only with consent, and never used to make an automated call on someone's future.
Any permanent security requirement, handled end to end by Hornsman.
We work across the capital and the wider UK, and meet clients and candidates in person where it helps. Our registered office is in London and every enquiry reaches us directly.
Every enquiry is handled by us directly and answered quickly. Send an email with what you are hiring for and we will be in touch.
