Our story

Why 325?
We often get asked where our name “325 Consulting” comes from. Working with management consultants who are highly numerical and ultimately driving top and bottom-line performance, Tim and Dominic wanted the name of their new business to be a meaningful number.
Very quickly it became clear that the number to use was 325, which is meant to be read as 3 to 5. Because, as every management consultant knows, it’s a 3 to 5 year strategic plan, there are 3 to 5 strategic objectives in a strategy and 3 to 5 initiatives to deliver on each of those strategic objectives. In addition, we liked that 3 + 2 + 5 = 10, and we are in the business of finding and placing 10/10 candidates.
Hence, 325 Consulting. We are proud and grateful to have become the most established and trusted recruitment firm aligning current and former management consultants with permanent and interim strategy, transformation and leadership opportunities. We look forward to working with you.
