Why choose Ingenia Global Partners
Ingenia Global Partners is an established portfolio of specialist recruitment businesses, formed with the backing and experience of the Hamilton Bradshaw Group - the team behind the successful global scale and exit of Alexander Mann Solutions.
Having supported many significant recruitment business exits, the group brings a long-term perspective on value creation, operational performance, and market evolution.
We actively monitor changes in buyer appetite, valuation drivers, and deal structures across the global recruitment market. This insight informs how our portfolio businesses are supported to succeed.
A portfolio built for today's market
Ingenia (from the Latin for ingenuity and natural ability) is built on a simple belief: together we're able to grow stronger and more profitably than alone.
The market has changed, and what drives performance and value is:
- Predictable and diversified revenues
- Technology-enabled platforms
- Strong leadership and scalable teams
- International reach and specialist focus
Ingenia Global Partners is designed to bring together specialist global brands, harnessing a powerful platform and the collective to achieve an event.
Join us on the journey
Business owners engage with portfolio structures for different reasons and at different stages. As a result, we support two established partnership models.
Portfolio partnership
This structure is suited to recruitment business owners who wish to retain their brand and business while operating within a broader global group.
Portfolio partners gain access to collective know-how, global networks, integrated systems, and specialist expertise across the Ingenia platform.
This approach supports businesses focused on measured growth, revenue diversification, and international expansion, while maintaining a significant amount of independence.
Strategic M&A partnership
For business owners considering a liquidity event but seeking continuity beyond a traditional exit, Ingenia also supports strategic M&A partnerships.
Under this model, founders sell into the group while typically retaining an ongoing ownership stake and leadership role.
This structure provides liquidity while allowing business owners to remain involved in building value within a larger, more diversified platform over time.
One platform with shared capability
Ingenia partner businesses remain embedded in their specialist markets, maintaining direct client relationships and market-led delivery models.
At the same time, they benefit from access to group-wide capability across Executive Search, RPO, MSP, Statement of Work, Embedded Talent, and Contingent & Contract Recruitment.
With operations across the UK & Ireland, the US, UAE, South Africa, and New Zealand, the portfolio supports international collaboration, client delivery across multiple regions, and the development of scalable, predictable operating models.
Our strategy focuses on: diversifying partner offerings, strengthening resilience and earnings predictability, and expanding geographic reach, positioning the portfolio effectively for future exit events when appropriate.
