Doris

Why doris?

We will be honest, we considered everything. We thought about mashing our names together, going for something slick and recruitment focused, or leaning into industry buzzwords. But none of it felt like us.

Then there was doris.

Doris is classic. Timeless. And full of meaning.

In Greek mythology, Doris was a sea goddess, nurturing, generous, and deeply connected to those around her. Her name means gift and bountiful, which reflects everything we strive to bring into our work: exceptional talent, personalised service, and an abundance of care, insight, and support.

But there’s even more behind the name.

Doris also stands for strength, independence, and solidarity. The Dorian women were Pioneers, resilient, resourceful, and well ahead of their time. Unlike other women in ancient Greece, they had greater economic freedom and social autonomy. They could own property, manage wealth, and influence their communities.

That legacy of power and possibility resonates deeply with us. Throughout our careers, women have been our biggest supporters, and we’ll always be theirs. Many of the clients and candidates we work with are remarkable women: leaders, builders, and changemakers who are shaping industries and challenging the status quo.

Women have been at the heart of our growth from day one, and we don’t take that for granted. That’s why we’re committed to paying it forward, with integrity, respect, and a genuine promise to keep showing up as better allies and advocates every step of the way.
