We are Livingston James.

Livingston James is an executive search and selection business that exists to match professional expertise to business need.  We are here to advise and support people and organisations to realise their potential, so that together we can impact lives and communities for the better.

This is our purpose. This is why we get out of bed in the morning, this is why we work so hard, this is why we choose to come together as a team, and this is why we feel proud of our achievements at the end of the day.

With purpose set, our values guide our behaviours, and consequently the experience our clients, candidates, colleagues, and communities have when we partner with them.  Our values are:

  • Together we achieve more
  • Make a difference
  • Always do the right thing
  • Be passionate and determined
  • Be famous for excellence

This means that every employee in our business – from our office support staff to our senior leaders – is personally invested in the outcomes we achieve for our clients, candidates, colleagues, and community partners.

As a purpose and values-driven business, we measure our success by the positive impact we have on these stakeholder groups for years to come. Our ownership model is yet another way to ensure that collaborative and mutually beneficial, long-term outcomes remain at the heart of everything we do.
