A MODERN APPROACH
WE ARE MOMENTUM MAKERS CONNECTING ORGANISATIONS TO HIGH IMPACT TALENT
OUR PURPOSE
MOMENTUM MAKERS
Two words that encapsulate the essence of what we do and are the foundation promise upon which our business is built. We help Boards and Executives deliver growth by attracting and retaining diverse, high impact leadership. Our central purpose is to help our clients generate and capture the momentum that is created when their leaders point to a better tomorrow.
At Williams Hall we consider partnering with our clients to shape their leadership teams to be a privilege we are entrusted with. So to every assignment we bring the courage, curiosity and tenacity to ask questions that challenge the status quo and in doing so, we bring a modern approach to the science and art of successful executive search. We hunt for passion and purpose in people because we know that long-term value and sustainable results are only delivered by engaged and authentic leaders
High Impact
Our founders Dianne Williams and Helen Hall have executed over 500 individual executive and board searches over their 28 years of combined experience.
Through their deep sector expertise across Healthcare and Industrials, they have developed vast and trusted networks, which they effectively utilise to connect clients with future and established leaders.
Diversity
We walk the talk. As two purpose-led female founders, we understand the challenges and the rewards of pursuing diversity in the workplace.
Throughout our careers we have forged deep connections with diverse talent; gender, age and cultural background. We actively seek to extend our networks across female led associations, thereby ensuring the best possible access to this important talent pool for our clients.
Cultural Connection
Our tenacity to tap into the best talent for our clients combined with curiosity to connect the right cultural fit has consistently driven outstanding results for our clients.
We take a high EQ approach to ensure we understand our client’s culture in order to connect them with culturally aligned talent.
JOIN THE MOMENTUM MOVEMENT
SHARED VALUES
These values guide every decision and interaction at Williams Hall, shaping how we partner with our clients, candidates, and each other to deliver meaningful, lasting impact.
COURAGE
Courage sits at the root of everything we do at Williams Hall. We challenge ourselves and our clients to think boldly, to see possibilities beyond the obvious, and to recognise the extraordinary momentum that can be created when the right people come together. Our courage drives us to have the important conversations, to face complexity head-on, and to lead change in a way that matters for organisations, communities, and the wider world.
TENACITY
We don’t give up. No matter how complex the challenge or how ambitious the goal, our determination keeps us moving forward. We remain committed to finding solutions, uncovering opportunities, and delivering results, even in the most competitive or rapidly changing markets. Our tenacity means our clients know we will stay the course until the right outcome is achieved.
CURIOSITY
We believe the best partnerships are built on curiosity. We never rest on what we think we know — instead, we actively seek to understand what’s next, what’s changing, and why. We ask questions that uncover the right cultural fit and reveal effective leaders. Our relentless curiosity drives us to look deeper, think differently, and ensure we connect organisations with the leaders who can help them thrive in the future.

“A train travelling 55 mph on a railroad track can crash through a 5-foot thick steel-reinforced concrete wall without stopping. That same train, starting from a stationary position, won’t be able to go through an inch-thick block in front of the driving wheel.
It is never the size of your problem that is the problem. It’s a lack of momentum. Without momentum, even a tiny obstacle can prevent you from moving forward. With momentum, you’ll navigate through problems and barely even notice them.
As a leader, your responsibility is to understand momentum, to get it moving for your organization, and to sustain it over time.”
