Tile Hill

Working with Tile Hill and particularly Luca Wells has been an exceptional experience. From the outset, he demonstrated a rare ability to truly understand the breadth and nuance of my professional background and to translate that into a genuinely game-changing opportunity. Rather than simply matching a CV to a job description, he approached the process with real intellectual curiosity, taking the time to appreciate the strategic dimensions of my work and how those could align with an organisation’s long-term ambitions. What sets him apart is his deep insight into the regeneration and built environment sector. He has an impressive grasp of the policy, delivery, and leadership dynamics shaping the industry, which allows him to connect talent and opportunity in a way that feels both thoughtful and precise. His perspective goes well beyond recruitment; he understands the ecosystem in which these roles sit and the kind of leadership required to make meaningful impact. Equally important is the way he manages the process end-to-end. He balances professionalism with a genuinely personable approach, bringing a level of care, consideration, and discretion that builds immediate trust. Communication is clear, thoughtful, and always constructive, and he has a natural ability to guide conversations in a way that benefits both candidate and client. In a field where true strategic recruiters are rare, Luca stands firmly in the best-in-class category. His ability to combine sector intelligence, strong judgement, and authentic human engagement makes him someone I would recommend without hesitation to both organisations seeking exceptional leadership and individuals looking for opportunities that genuinely match their potential.

Tile Hill are excellent. Can’t recommend them enough. Provide genuine support throughout whole process, excellent feedback, and make one feel truly valuable.

Jeevun from Tile Hill has been great to work with. Proactive in following up and ensuring I am kept in the loop with developments. He is also very supportive. He has followed through everything we've discussed and from my end it feels like a very personalised and effective approach to finding and helping me secure a role. I couldn't have asked for a better person to deal with.

Great experience working with TH. Friendly, open, honest, fun, responsive and most importantly hugely professional and knowledgeable.

Tile Hill provided me with excellent support all the way my recruitment needs including hints and tips on the application and interview process, keeping me up to date as the recruitment progressed as well as providing useful feedback after my interview. I would highly recommend.

Excellent support and a great candidate experience - thank you@

Yas is very personable, as is everyone I have dealt with at Tile Hill. In my experience, TH run a very professional service and have always been informative and kept in touch. Information presented is always on point and timely. I trust TH as one of the best agencies around.

After making the decision to enter the job market again, after nearly 15 years, I found it a very different landscape and one that required me to alter my expectations and plans for the future constantly. The Tile Hill team were a breath of fresh air. They are professional, understand the importance of transparency and clear updates for prospective candidates. Their attention to detail was second to none and I would like to thank, Chantelle Wooldridge specifically who embodied all of the above. Chantelle didn’t just send me a email she called me personally when the process was delayed to advise and explain next steps. She is a credit to Tile Hill and the clients she works with are in very safe hands. I look forward to working alongside her and her team again in the future, whether that be as a candidate or supporting a recruitment drive for me. Tile Hill would be my first choice

A great company to work with, professional, approachable and very helpful

Over the past year, Tile Hill have played an instrumental role in supporting with the successful delivery of several pivotal Service Director appointments. These roles are key to shaping and driving forward our ambitious transformation programme, which aims to position us as a simpler, smarter, and more joined-up council — all in service of our residents and communities. From the outset, Tile Hill have demonstrated nothing short of excellence. Their approach has been exemplary throughout each stage of the process — from initial brief setting and discovery, through to pitch, market insight, and candidate engagement. They have shown an outstanding ability to adapt their approach to suit the evolving needs of Swindon Borough Council, always demonstrating flexibility, responsiveness, and deep insight. What sets Tile Hill apart is their ability to truly listen. They take the time to understand not just the technical requirements of the roles, but the wider organisational and cultural ambitions we are working towards. Their search processes consistently reflect a genuine understanding of what we are trying to achieve, always ensuring that local knowledge and context are embedded and that our overarching mission — to serve our communities — remains central. A personal thank you to Mark Bearn, Chris Barrow, Chantelle Wooldridge, Anita Denton, Bella Bennett, Rebecca Keen, Anna Shepherd and Tom Mcelroywilliams (with apologies to anyone I may have missed) for your continued support, dedication, and professionalism. Your partnership has been invaluable, and based on our experience, we would not hesitate to recommend Tile Hill to any organisation seeking a trusted, insightful, and outcomes-focused executive search partner.
