Mark Bearn

“My clients and candidates are some of the most talented and committed individuals in the UK workforce, who every day change lives and shape communities for the better.”

Mark Bearn is an Associate Director at Tile Hill and leads on executive search for permanent roles in resources and corporate development. He has particular expertise in Human Resources & Organisational Development, Transformation, ICT & Digital, Policy & Strategy, Communications, Finance, Customer Services, and Procurement, as well as alternative delivery vehicles such as local authority trading companies (LATCo’s).

He joined Tile Hill from Hays, where he was instrumental in building a local government executive search practice, leading searches across the UK for Chief Executives, Directors, and Assistant Directors.

Mark considers it a privilege to work with local government and is committed to providing the very best service possible to support the sector: “my clients and candidates are some of the most talented and committed individuals in the UK workforce, who every day change lives and shape communities for the better.”

He also “loves the intellectual challenge of working in local government – its hundreds of services and professions, its democratic accountability, and its direct link to citizens and communities.” He particularly enjoys being surrounded by people who care deeply about their work: “The culture at Tile Hill is more collaborative than I have ever known.”

He wants Tile Hill to be recognised as the number one search firm for roles in resources and development, and plans to consolidate and build on the company’s existing reputation in this area.

Mark’s never happier than when he’s walking the Suffolk coastline with his family and dogs – and has been working in recruitment for so long that his first placement was as an accounts clerk, earning £3 an hour!
