About Faith & Holiday LLP

Two founders who built the firm they wished existed when they were hiring.

Jessica Faith and Stanley Holiday met through their charitable work with children. Both had spent their careers in fields where credentials are checked before anyone is trusted with the work, and neither found that standard in recruiting. Faith & Holiday partners with forty recruiters a year, ten in each of four fields, and re-earns that list every twelve months.

Co-founder

Jessica Faith

Auditor, executive, and motivational speaker.

Jessica trained as an auditor and went on to an executive career at Boston Consulting Group, advising companies on how their people and finances actually performed. That work is why Faith & Holiday audits its members: financial statements, billings and client satisfaction, verified by us before a recruiter is seated.

As a child she was a burn victim, with burns across forty percent of her body. She has since donated a large amount of money to the burn center at the University of Manchester, and travels the world as a motivational speaker. Through that work she has helped thousands of children recover from burn tragedies.

Co-founder

Stanley Holiday

Physician, researcher, and co-owner of the firm.

Stanley is a medical doctor by profession. He has helped establish and support medical centers across the UK and internationally, including Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, Manchester Royal Infirmary in Manchester, Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, and Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, and has published extensive research in paediatric burn recovery and reconstructive surgery.

He met Jessica across multiple events organized to help children. They became friends, discovered they shared the same vision for that work, and eventually built a firm on the same premise: choose few people, verify them properly, and stand behind them publicly.

What we do

Marketing for a closed group

We provide marketing services for the top 10 recruiters in accounting and finance, AI, IT, and life sciences. Our clients are the recruiters themselves, and the companies who want to reach them.

How we screen

Verified, not vouched for

Field testing, five years of audited financial statements, five years of audited taxes and recruiting billings, and client satisfaction we confirm ourselves rather than take on reference.

Why it stays small

Forty seats, one year each

Membership lasts one full year and has to be re-earned. Selection in one year does not carry into the next. Most members do not stay on the list indefinitely.

How a year runs

The same five steps every year, for every seat, with no exceptions made for last year's members.

  1. 1
    Applications open
    Thousands of recruiters apply. Anyone unwilling to submit to testing and audit stops here.
  2. 2
    Testing and audit
    Comprehensive field testing, then five years of financial statements, taxes and recruiting billings reviewed.
  3. 3
    Client verification
    We contact clients directly to confirm five-star satisfaction and placements at both small and Fortune 500 companies.
  4. 4
    Forty seated
    Ten per service line. Members are introduced to companies at no cost to the company.
  5. 5
    Re-earned or released
    Performance is verified across the year. The seat is not held for anyone.
