Our Values
At Marlin Hawk, we are dedicated to fostering an environment that aligns with our six core values:
Collaborative
Being collaborative means working together in reciprocity and listening to one another in a mutually supportive environment.
Curious
Being curious means asking questions and approaching situations with an open-mindset, ready to learn as well as to advise.

Being courageous means the fearless pursuit of sustainable growth, delivering high-quality outcomes and showing resilience in challenging situations.

Our Diversity & Inclusion Commitment
Marlin Hawk has been working with organisations since its inception to secure their new generation of leaders. Striving to be leaders in our own field, we understand the important role we play in promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace.
As a global organisation with team members across three continents, Marlin Hawk is focused on creating an environment where diversity is valued, and inclusion is the norm. Looking at our clients and at ourselves, we are acutely aware that there is still a lot to be done.
We commit to upholding the standards of inclusion, respect, and equality in everything we do; we strive for a culture that fosters courage, patience and empathy; and we understand that empowering our team members will make us stronger. It is from this place of deeper understanding that we can better partner with clients and candidates to deliver innovative solutions and a better future.
Nurturing Talent
Marlin Hawk works to find the right candidates for emerging roles, wherever they are in the world and seeks to nurture and support emerging talent.
When trying to find a visual way to interpret the depth of insight and research that sets us apart from traditional search firms, we wanted something different. A change from the standard stock imagery. And so, we looked to the art world. And discovered the glass artistry of Tim Rawlinson.
Tim's work changes, depending from which angle you look at it. Look closely, and you'll see the light highlight different features, aspects and perspectives. Take a step back, and it changes again to reveal the whole.
Tim combines his detailed craftsmanship and methodology with his immense skill and artistic talent, and his processes reflect how Marlin Hawk builds executive teams. Teams built on in-depth research and insights and that overlap to bring people together and form a greater whole.
