If you’re not already part of the community then take action now.

Our Story.

Founded in 2005 as a single desk within a small independent recruitment consultancy in Hertfordshire. Dove & Hawk was born into a very buoyant property market, initially focusing on Executive Search assignments across mainly Estate Agency positions in London and Hertfordshire.

Surviving and thriving through downturn markets and ownership changes Dove & Hawk underwent significant changes in 2010 with current Directors James Huntly and Matthew Squirrell re-envisioning the company, simplifying our service to what it is today; A results driven, honest and passionate recruitment consultancy business.

Several placements later and reaching 2011, to match demand James and Matthew hired Patrick Tonkin, now a Board Level Director who understood and further carried the business towards its vision of becoming a multi-faceted recruitment consultancy covering the whole of the South East of England.

James, Matthew and Patrick have a clear vision for the future of Dove & Hawk and over the last 5 years the business has grown from covering just Estate Agency to working with some of the leading Global Real Estate firms across several disciplines.
