Matt Newman

Co-Founder & Managing Director

In 2011, myself and two business partners discovered a gap in the market for a company to specialise in placing finance roles exclusively within the recruitment sector, and so Camino Partners was born at the start of 2012. Following a successful beginning and increasing demand from clients, I played a lead role in expanding our service offering to the recruitment of all back-office to boardroom level professionals.

This puts me in a unique position of both running a successful and growing recruitment business, but also working with hundreds of staffing firms in hiring leadership talent to grow theirs.

In my current position, I set up and lead our USA brand - Cavana Search.

Cavana Search specialises in placing staffing and sales roles in the staffing sector across the United States.

I am driven to succeed and provide the most effective recruitment experience our clients can envisage. The recruitment process is a trusted partnership and both recruiter and client should work with honesty and integrity. I have found that this approach has allowed Camino to partner with our clients, enabling them to build high performing teams.

I live by the motto that today’s candidate is tomorrow’s client. I spend the time with all candidates to understand their motivations, advise them on the market and their options and ultimately to ensure that they will fit culturally within our clients.

I like to know all the best people within the staffing industry, I’m an avid networker and appreciate the value of extensive and long-term relationships.

If you’re a staffing firm business owner looking to hire recruitment or sales talent for your team, or you’re interested in pursuing a career in the sector or alternatively would like advice or to network, please get in touch.

Please note that the Camino Partners team are aware of a well-documented scam, whereby agents impersonating Camino Partners consultants and other major recruitment brands are trying to obtain the personal and contact information of unknown people. We encourage you to be careful where to share your personal data and we also operate a strict data security policy within our business. A Camino Partners consultant will never ask for personal data via WhatsApp, email, or text message, without prior engagement with a candidate first. If you suspect that you may have been approached by a potential scammer, please contact our back-office team using the form above. We also advise reporting the incident to a cyber crime representative from the appropriate police force. Information on reporting cyber crimes, including information on texts and scams, can be found here .
