About HenryHQ
HenryHQ exists because hiring and career decisions share the same structural problem: too much noise, not enough signal. Most recruiting is reactive. Most career advice is generic. Both operate on gut feel when they should operate on calibrated evaluation.
We built two products on a single methodology. For companies, structured search that reduces hiring risk through defined criteria and disciplined execution. For professionals, career intelligence that replaces guesswork with signal-driven strategy.
The methodology comes from 15+ years of recruiting at the institutional level, including Heidrick & Struggles, Spotify, Uber, Venmo, PayPal, and National Grid. It has been refined into a system that produces measurable, repeatable outcomes on both sides of the table.
Better decisions are engineered, not hoped for. Structure compounds.
Define the criteria. Calibrate the evaluation. Measure the outcome. Repeat.
We take on engagements we can execute at a high level, or we decline. No filler. No volume plays.
