Our Services

Recruitment, staffing, HR and team development from people who have worked inside Parliament for decades.

Cross-party support for MPs’ offices

Expertise built inside Parliament

Running an MP’s office means being an employer, a manager and a public servant all at once, often with a small team and a heavy caseload. Hive has supported more than 200 MPs’ offices, across all parties and through two general elections, with the people and HR expertise that make offices work well.

We are a community interest company, so what we earn goes back into supporting parliamentary offices and the people who work in them. We work alongside IPSA and House services, never in place of them.

Knowledge based on experience

Our team has worked in Westminster and constituency offices at every level, from new backbenchers to Ministers.

Cross-party support for all MPs

We work with MPs and staff across the House, discreetly and without favour.

Raising employment standards

We bring professional, CIPD-informed HR practice to the particular realities of employing staff as an MP.

Recruitment

Fair, open recruitment for permanent and temporary roles, from advert and sift through to interviews and IPSA paperwork.

Staff and Team Development

Team health checks, staff appraisals and casework reviews that give you an experienced, independent view of how your office works, and a clear plan to improve it.

HR Partnership

A named HR partner for your office, supporting you through inductions, probation, appraisals, staff issues and everything in between.

Training and mentoring

One-to-one mentoring, away days and practical training for your team, shaped around what they need.
