FAQs
Got A Question?
Scaling a commercial team is a big step, so we’ve answered the questions founders and leaders ask us every day.
House of Impact was founded by Ian Povey Hall, an executive search specialist with over 15 years of experience in sustainable finance, ESG and impact investment recruitment.
We work primarily across the UK and Europe with experience in Benelux, Spain and Switzerland, and an expanding network across North America and selected global hubs.
Specialist partners bring deep sector intelligence, warm networks and a clear view of what good looks like. That reduces hiring risk, speeds up searches and increases the chance that the person you hire will stay and thrive.
For senior roles we usually work on a retained basis with staged fees at engagement, shortlist and completion. For repeat hiring or pipelining projects we agree a project fee that reflects the scope and level of support.
We hire senior investors, portfolio and value creation leaders, ESG and sustainability specialists, commercial and business development leaders, operating partners and advisors across the impact economy.
