What we do

Recruitment services

From a single permanent hire to running your entire hiring function — engage us for as much or as little of the process as you need.

Our process

The same process on every assignment

You always know what stage the search is at, and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Brief

    We agree the must-haves, the realistic market rate, and what success looks like at twelve months.

  2. 02

    Calibrate

    A first small batch of profiles confirms we have read the brief the way you meant it.

  3. 03

    Search

    Direct approach into passive talent, not just the people already answering adverts.

  4. 04

    Screen

    Competency and motivation screening against the brief, with written notes on every candidate.

  5. 05

    Shortlist

    A shortlist you can actually interview, with scheduling handled on your behalf.

  6. 06

    Offer

    We manage expectations on both sides through offer and notice — where most hires are lost.

  7. 07

    Aftercare

    Check-ins through probation, and a replacement guarantee if it does not work out.

What our clients are saying

Long-term partnerships built on delivery, communication, and trust.

Head of Engineering

Software company

They filled two roles we had been advertising for six months. The difference was that they told us our salary band was wrong before they started, rather than after.

Talent Acquisition Lead

Healthcare group

Every shortlist was worth interviewing. We stopped receiving CVs that had clearly been sent to five other clients the same morning.

Board Director

Manufacturing business

The confidential search was handled properly from start to finish. Nothing leaked, and the appointment was right.

Chief Operating Officer

SaaS business

They employed our first two hires in a country where we had no entity, and it took days rather than the months we had budgeted.

Frequently asked questions

The questions employers and candidates ask us most often.

Still have questions?

Talk to a consultant
  • Which sectors do you recruit for?

    Technology and digital, healthcare and life sciences, finance and professional services, and engineering and supply chain. Within those we cover everything from entry level to executive appointments.

  • How quickly will I see candidates?

    Contract and temporary roles typically produce candidates within 48 hours. Permanent searches usually reach a shortlist within two weeks. If a requirement is genuinely scarce we will say so at briefing rather than after a month of silence.

  • What does it cost?

    Permanent recruitment is contingent — you pay on a successful start, not for the search. Contract staffing is charged as a margin on the rate, and RPO is a fixed monthly fee. We put terms in writing before any work begins.

  • What happens if a hire does not work out?

    Every permanent placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the person leaves or is released inside the agreed period, we run the search again at no further fee.

  • I am a candidate — will you send my CV out without asking?

    Never. Your details are only shared with an employer after you have agreed to that specific role. Register once and we will come to you when something fits.

  • Can you help us hire in another country?

    Yes. Where you have no legal entity in the candidate's country, our Employer of Record service employs them on your behalf so you can hire compliantly without registering one.

Not sure which service you need?

Describe the hiring problem and we will recommend the approach that solves it fastest — even if that is not the one with the largest fee.
