Hornsman Group

A London recruitment agency placing internationally experienced, licensed professionals into permanent roles — across security, close protection and graduate hiring.

What We Do

Permanent placement across professional sectors

We place licensed, internationally experienced professionals into permanent positions. Our work spans three areas, each managed directly and held to the same standard of vetting.

01

Security Personnel

SIA-licensed security officers, vetted to BS 7858:2019 and placed into permanent roles with employers across every professional sector.

02

Close Protection

Experienced, licensed close protection officers placed on permanent contracts with the organisations and individuals who need them.

03

Graduate Placement

Capable, multilingual graduates introduced to employers across finance, technology and professional services.

Who We Are

A straightforward recruitment partner

Hornsman Group is a London recruitment agency. We place SIA-licensed security personnel, close protection officers and graduates into permanent roles with employers across the UK and internationally. Every candidate is vetted to a recognised standard before we put them forward.

We keep our caseload deliberate, so each placement is managed directly — from first brief to signed contract. Alongside our recruitment work, we host professional networking events in London.

How We Work

A clear, vetted process

Every search begins with understanding the role and the employer. We then draw on our network of licensed, internationally experienced candidates, vet each one to BS 7858:2019, and present a short, qualified shortlist.

We recruit for permanence, not volume. The aim is to match the right professional to the right role efficiently, and to do it well the first time.

Our Approach

Efficient and considered

We take on a focused number of searches at any time, so each receives proper attention. Placements are handled directly, with a clear understanding of the employer's needs and the candidate's experience — built on trust, and delivered efficiently.
