We brief properly, vet thoroughly, and stand behind the people we send.
The consultant who takes your brief is the one who shortlists, briefs candidates, negotiates the offer, and follows up post-start. No handoffs.
Most live briefs receive their first qualified shortlist within a week. Senior briefs may take a fortnight, we will tell you upfront.
Every permanent placement carries a free replacement period. If a hire doesn't stick within the agreed window, we re-run the search at no charge.
Right-to-work, references, qualifications, motivation, salary expectations, all checked before a CV reaches your desk. No noise.
For replacement-of-incumbent or pre-announce searches, we run blind shortlists and brief candidates only at offer stage if you ask.
Our entire desk is geared around hires that stay, the brief, the vetting, the offer support, and the day-7 / 30 / 90 follow-ups, all built to keep the placement in seat.
A clear three-step process. No drawn-out kick-offs, no dropped balls.
A 30-45 minute briefing call. We capture the role, the team, the must-haves, the deal-breakers, the salary band and the timeline. You get a written brief back to confirm.
We approach our network and active candidates, vet, interview and rank. You receive a tight, qualified shortlist with our notes, salary expectations and availability.
We handle counter-offer pressure, notice-period coordination and start-date logistics, then check in on day 7, 30 and 90.
The cities we recruit into most often. Remote-first and nationwide briefs equally welcome.
