About Us
The founders of these consultancies shared over seven years of collaboration in a global specialist search firm, developing a strong relationship over shared values and a unified vision for the future of the industry.
The formation of STQ Partners was guided by three core principles:
We believe these principles, combined with our customer obsession culture and 80/20 business strategy, offer the fundamental building blocks to a strong, high performing relationship in the world of talent acquisition.
Having made these principles integral to all our business frameworks and processes, we decided to make our commitment indisputable by visually incorporating them into our business name.
Typically, when a search firm is engaged, all other alternatives have been explored, and there are associated costs to the business, whether in terms of time, money, or reputation.
The average recruitment process can extend beyond six months, which we consider unacceptable.
We believe that by operating with exceptional speed and dominating the process, we can significantly reduce this timeframe.
We view the "T" in STQ as representing both TRUST and TRANSPARENCY. Every strong relationship is built upon a foundation of trust, and our methodology, rooted in real-time recruitment data, offers an open and transparent service.
In an industry lacking regulation, we believe trust is of paramount importance. Anyone can start a search firm without experience or oversight, and many do.
Arguably our most important principle/pillar. Quality to STQ is in everything, from the candidate through to the service. We believe that by championing this minute by minute and hour by hour, it becomes ingrained in everything we do.
Initially, we will be supporting two charities:
Samuel Emerton, a principal partner at STQ Partners, lost his mother to MND in 2022. This tragic experience has set Sam and STQ Partners on a path to raise funds, not only to assist families undergoing a similar journey but also to support research and development aimed at eradicating this disease.
Michael Berry, another principal partner at STQ Partners, had a first-hand experience of the exceptional work carried out by the medical personnel in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. Marley, his first-born son, had a traumatic birth and had to remain in the unit on life support until discharge, which lasted for 14 days. Marley's life and recovery were made possible by the round-the-clock care provided by the staff. STQ is committed to giving back and providing resources to this department so they can continue their incredible work.
This will be a lifelong battle, but one for which STQ Partners is fully prepared.
