Originally founded in 1988, Halsey Keetch is one of the longest-established and most reputable independent executive and board search firms in the industry, and we focus exclusively on the governance, regulatory and controls functions across financial services.
Alongside world-class executive search and board search work, we also provide talent mapping and succession planning advice across our specialist functions. Our highly experienced team takes a network-driven, methodical and thorough approach to every mandate, supported by the latest technology.
Executive Search
As a leading search boutique in our specialist areas of financial services governance, regulation and controls, we believe that executing a successful search is as much of an art as it is a science.
All our projects are retained. We apply research, experience, networking and intuition to ensure that we provide a world-class, comprehensive and refined service every time we run an assignment.
Process is critical. Search mandates are run to strict timescales, and are managed by an in-house team comprising our Directors and our Head of Research. Client reporting as the search progresses is in-depth and informative, to allow for close collaboration based on a shared understanding of market context.

Talent Mapping & Succession Planning
Our knowledge and network across the mission critical and often challenging functions of compliance, risk, audit and finance is unrivalled. After 35 years focussing exclusively on these areas, we have a uniquely detailed and rich understanding of these functions and the people within them. We understand the challenges they face and we know what good looks like.
Where our clients have capable in-house Talent Acquisition teams able to handle the search process internally, and do not wish to mandate a full search process externally, our talent maps can assist. These thoughtfully designed digital documents provide specialist insight when it comes to the quality and quantity of candidates for a particular role and enable our clients to understand the target market in detail. Equipped with this information, our clients can directly attract the best individuals in these consistently challenging areas.
Our Talent Maps can be ordered as stand-alone products, or can be ‘built-in’ to full search assignments, often as the retainer stage of our work.
