CJPI delivers discreet, high-rigour executive search across central government, local authorities, NHS trusts, and public bodies. As a Government Commercial Agency (GCA) framework supplier and Bloom accredited partner, we search & select visionary leaders for the public sector.
Modern public sector leaders must balance strict fiscal accountability with commercial innovation, social responsibility, and intense public scrutiny. Whether appointing a Chief Executive to lead a local authority through regional regeneration, securing a Chair for an NHS Trust, or recruiting Directors General for central government departments, CJPI brings deep sector insight. We combine exhaustive passive candidate mapping with rigorous governance protocols to secure executives who deliver tangible public value.
"Your approach was simply refreshing. Over the years we have worked with “recruiters”, but your approach was valuable throughout. From the insights you generated around the market, through to a clearly robust process - we were delighted with the whole thing!"

Our Search Approach.
Public Value. Uncompromising Rigour. Inclusive Diversity.
Every public search mandate is conducted in strict alignment with the Seven Principles of Public Life (Nolan Principles). We ensure absolute transparency, fairness, and meritocratic evaluation throughout the search lifecycle.
Public sector leadership must reflect the communities it serves. We deploy proactive, unbiased search methodologies that attract diverse, high-caliber leaders from within the public realm, as well as cross-sector talent from commercial and non-profit sectors.
CJPI is accessible via major government procurement frameworks including the Government Commercial Agency (formerly CCS) Executive Search 3 Framework. We are also a fully accredited supplier by Bloom Procurement under their NERO Framework.
