About Us

SearchLite is an executive search service devised by Lucy Deane. She has 25 years of specialist experience in finding, attracting and retaining top talent internationally for her clients.


After completing her LLB Hons and LPC in Law in the 90s, she decided to follow her research interests into the executive search world, where she has enjoyed the impact her work has had on individuals, markets and world-changing innovation ever since.


Having watched the evolving landscape for top-level recruitment, and taken on board the feedback of her clients, she launched SearchLite to create an alternative to the traditional search model that is long-bemoaned as costly and lengthy.


We are now a team of similarly-qualified and equally driven individuals with a common goal, to shape tomorrow.

Our Offering

Growth and Impact


SearchLite is a product tailored to offer the same executive search process you should be able to expect from any good search firm. Our consultants have long histories in the search field and are specialists at finding and engaging the very best that the market has to offer.


What is different?


Other than a far more attractive fee structure, we have a process that allows you to access our specialist search expertise but then to take control of the in-house interviewing and on-boarding, something most search clients will manage themselves in any case. 


We find all the right people; engage them in your company, its products, stories and roles; create an environment of open dialogue; interview thoroughly against your criteria and present the best to you with a profile of their suitability.


Who do we work with?


We can work direct with the executive team, investor team, hiring team or in-house recruitment team. We work globally and across sectors, with deep experience in all our fields of expertise.

    Happy Client (Blue Carbon) 


    Lucy Deane has been a terrific Executive Search leader for our small, fast moving and fast growing organization- knowledgable, creative, flexible and smart. She did not delegate the work but carried it out herself. She offered a service that was tailored to our needs and she unearthed fantastic candidates that we would not have found. We were very happy with Lucy, recommend her highly and will seek out her help again.

    Happy Client (Hydrogen Tech)


    We recently hired Lucy to develop a pipeline of candidates for multiple senior roles. She quickly built rapport with the leadership team and developed a great understanding for the types of character we were seeking. As a small startup, cultural fit was as important to us as functional skills. We completed four hires in short order. 

    We have been delighted with the experience of working with Lucy and highly recommend her business model.

    Happy New Employee (Hydrogen)


    Lucy was an absolute pleasure to work with! She has an amazing approach, extremely professional, very warm, personable, and a great listener. She made me feel like my skills and experience were the focus. I never felt like a number or a commission... I think her approach helped me be at my best and, without a doubt, was a major factor in my success entering my new role. I will recommend Lucy to any and all looking for new roles - thank you!

    Happy New Employee (Cleantech)


    I worked with Lucy on a job move from a large corporate to a smaller start up environment. 

    She liaised with the hiring company on my behalf and managed all stakeholders involved in a open and friendly manner that was not only appreciated, but also made the hiring process very stress-free. 

    I would highly recommend her to both prospective job applicants as well as companies seeking a professional and approachable, considerate recruiter.
