Who are we?

AG-Search was founded 2017 and is led by Andrew Gerrish www.linkedin.com/in/andrewgerrish/

Andrew is a career recruitment professional recognised as an expert in all matters related to delivering successful hiring projects, specifically across the Commercial & Legal Contracts Management disciplines.

Prior to launching AG-Search, Andrew led a recruitment division and service offering for an international recruitment group, personally delivering 200+ successful hires.

“Having operated within the technical sectors leading commercial & legal contracts (pre-award, post-award and subcontracts) recruitment for 15+ years my knowledge and networks are deep. Commercial, Legal Contracts and Deal Management are highly specialised professional disciplines, interconnected but often unique in scope and focus to an individual business. 

My niche is an in-depth understanding of the intrinsic technical skills, commercial competencies and how these are applied across industries, allowing me to consult and engage on a professional ‘peer-to-peer’ level to deliver successful hiring outcomes.

I have a passion for partnering with organisations to solve hiring issues and equally professionals to make positive career moves. Beyond this I take pride in delivering an industry leading search service with professionalism, humility and personal engagement.

What they say

“I’ve worked with Andrew for several years, both in my search for roles, and in supporting recruitment & restructuring processes for myself; he has been the first person I’ve reached out to over the years. I have found Andrews’s appreciation of my goals, coupled with the detailed knowledge of candidates, and the industry, invaluable. From the perspective of service, and aptitude to deliver, Andrew has never disappointed.”Peter Varley - Head of Procurement - Aspire defence (prev GEA Group)

“I found Andrew to be an excellent recruiter. He understood my experience and requirements and brought an opportunity to me that exactly matched these. He kept me informed at every stage of the process and really helped me understand the requirements of the client. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to others looking for a new role.”John Hall - Head of Contracts & Bids - NATS

“The service and engagement I received from Andrew was excellent, being professional yet personable. Due to my move being from private practice to in-house I had various questions throughout the recruitment process. Andrew was always available to chat through those questions, understood their importance to me in order to make the move, and ensured that that these were answered by the end client. To me it was clear that he held my career aspirations as paramount priority. I would certainly recommend Andrew to candidates seeking their next career step.”Hugh Moriarty - In-House legal Counsel - Mentor Graphics

“I’ve always found Andrew to be highly professional in delivering a recruitment service which I rate as far exceeding the rest of the pack. He differentiates his service by listening to the needs of my business and delivering quality candidates”.Tim Mowat – VP Commercial S&IS – Leonardo / Selex ES
