People Who Speak Your Language
Darwin Hawkins was founded by Mark Baker FCA and Niall O'Kelly FCA, Big 4-trained Chartered Accountants who moved into recruitment because they saw a gap: most recruiters don't truly understand the roles they fill. We do. That insider's perspective means we can assess an opportunity with the same rigour you would, and advocate for you with credibility when it matters most.
Our team of consultants, the majority of whom are qualified accountants or finance professionals, don't just review your CV. They understand your career trajectory, your technical skill set, and what a meaningful step forward actually looks like for someone at your level.
Market Access
The best roles don’t always appear on job boards. At Darwin Hawkins, our network runs deep, across financial services, practice, industry, and executive leadership. Through our executive search arm, DH Partners, we access board and C-suite mandates that never reach the open market.
With offices in Dublin and London and the backing of Ingenia Global Partners, we move across markets with ease. Whether you’re a newly qualified accountant ready for your first industry move or a seasoned CFO exploring a change, our business is built for you.
Discretion
We understand that exploring a career move is often a private matter. Your confidentiality is never taken for granted. We will never share your profile with a client without your explicit consent, and we will always keep you informed before any step is taken on your behalf.
Our approach is consultative, not transactional. We don’t send CVs speculatively. We have conversations first.
