Why employers stay with us

Hiring should not feel like another full-time job.

We exist to take that load. We brief properly, shortlist responsibly, and stand behind the people we send.

One consultant, end to end

You will not be passed around a desk. The consultant who takes your brief is the one who shortlists, briefs candidates, and follows up post-offer.

Shortlist in 5-7 working days

Most live briefs receive their first qualified shortlist within a week. Urgent roles flagged on day one are prioritised across the desk.

Replacement guarantee

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.

Real local knowledge

Active candidate and client networks across every UK region. We know who's hiring and who's moving, from London to Glasgow, Cardiff to Newcastle.

Vetted, not just sourced

Right-to-work, references, qualifications, motivation, salary expectations, all checked before a CV reaches your desk. No noise.

Built for the long term

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.

How we work

A clear three-step process from first call to first day.

No drawn-out kick-offs, no dropped balls. The brief becomes the shortlist becomes the offer, in that order.

1

The brief, properly

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.

2

Targeted shortlist

We approach our network and active candidates, vet, interview and rank. You receive a tight, qualified shortlist with our notes, salary expectations and availability.

3

Offer support and onboarding

We handle counter-offer pressure, notice-period coordination and start-date logistics, then check in on day 7, day 30 and day 90 to make sure the hire is working.

Common questions

Questions employers usually ask before working with us.

How quickly can you deliver a shortlist?
Most permanent briefs receive their first shortlist within 5-7 working days. Senior or specialist briefs may take a fortnight, but we will tell you upfront. We never sit on a brief.
Are you a regional or UK-wide agency?
UK-wide. We fill permanent vacancies across England, Scotland and Wales, including nationwide and remote-first roles for clients with multi-site footprints. If you are hiring in the UK, we can help.
Are your fees percentage-based?
For permanent placements, yes, we work on a percentage of first-year base salary. The exact rate depends on level and sector, and is agreed in writing before any candidate is introduced.
What does the replacement guarantee cover?
If a placed hire leaves or is dismissed within the agreed period, we will source a free replacement. The window is usually 8-12 weeks for most roles, longer for senior hires.
Can you handle confidential searches?
Yes. For sensitive replacement-of-incumbent or pre-launch hires, we can run searches without naming the client until shortlist stage and use a generic job description in initial approaches. Tell us up front if confidentiality matters and we will brief candidates accordingly.
What information do you need to start a search?
A job description (or rough notes), salary band, start-date target, and one decision-maker we can speak to. We can build the rest of the brief on a 30-45 minute call.

Ready to take a brief off your desk?

Tell us the role, the urgency and the must-haves. We will come back within one working day with a clear plan and a fee quote.
