HG Ventures is a dynamic and forward-thinking venture capital firm that places people at the heart of its strategy. With a focus on growing companies organically, it supports and invests in its employees to drive success. The firm operates on the belief that people build companies, and this is evident in the way it conducts business.

The company is a conglomerate of five recruitment companies, each built around a set of ingredients that prioritise people, their engagement, development, and wellbeing. This approach extends to its subsidiary ownership structures, where management teams can own and shape the companies they run, creating a sense of empowerment and legacy.

HG Ventures works tirelessly to instil its Vision, Mission and Strategy into its employees. These key principles are introduced to potential employees through an Employee Proposition and further reinforced through an in-depth induction pack and initial training programme. The firm also utilises an online HR platform to ensure easy access to essential company and employee information.

The leadership team at HG Ventures exemplifies the company's core values, demonstrating commitment, professionalism, and integrity in every interaction. The Senior Managers are visible presences in the offices, sharing the workspace with staff at all levels, and consistently demonstrating their commitment to employee engagement, wellbeing and culture.

Regular updates, newsletters, and quarterly parties serve to reinforce the firm's values and mission, fostering a sense of community and connection among employees. The HG Ventures mission and values are always visible, ensuring employees feel part of the bigger picture.
