The people behind the process.
Birchwell Associates is led by Connor Maidment and Megan Atkinson. Together, they combine specialist search, direct client partnership and disciplined delivery across technology, renewable energy and digital recruitment.
Speak with the people responsible for the search.
Every brief is owned from first conversation to hire.
Quality, communication and long-term fit come first.
Specialist recruitment. Personally delivered.
A deliberately focused team means clients and candidates receive direct communication, clearer ownership and a recruitment process shaped around the actual brief.

Megan Atkinson
Director of OperationsMegan oversees delivery, communication and the operational detail that keeps each search moving efficiently. Her role connects the client brief, candidate journey and internal process so updates remain clear and important details are not lost between stages.

One joined-up process. Clear ownership throughout.
Connor and Megan work across the same search rather than handing clients and candidates between disconnected teams. Select a stage to see how responsibility is shared.
Understand
Connor works directly with the hiring team to understand the vacancy, commercial context, team environment and likely candidate market. Megan helps translate the agreed process into clear next steps, timings and communication.
Boutique recruitment. Enterprise standards.
A smaller team should not mean a smaller standard. Birchwell Associates combines direct access with the discipline, communication and accountability expected from a long-term recruitment partner.
Honest market conversations
Clear feedback on availability, salary expectations, search difficulty and the realities of the candidate market.
Communication with ownership
Updates come from the people working on the search, with responsibility visible from start to finish.
Quality before volume
Candidate relevance, motivation and long-term fit matter more than sending loosely matched profiles.
Start with a direct conversation.
