What We Do

Richard Lloyd Executive Recruitment specialise in identifying, headhunting, engaging, and securing C-Suite finance talent for senior leadership roles across Sydney. Our client base is made up of predominantly SMEs, ranging from $10–$300m turnover.

I first got in touch with Richard Lloyd when I transferred to Sydney from the UK and needed help to find a key senior finance person for my team. It was very clear from the outset that Richard Lloyd was open, fair and trustworthy. They were extremely competent, demonstrating a deep understanding of the market as well as how an efficient recruitment process should be conducted. They also took the time to truly understand the role, team and culture to ensure any candidates they put forward were a great fit.
