Permanent professional recruitment is our core desk. Contingent engagement for straightforward roles, fixed-fee options for volume programmes, retained structure for senior appointments. Every placement runs through the same four-step process.
Standard turnaround is ten to fifteen working days from signed brief to ranked shortlist. Urgent business-critical roles can be prioritised on request.
Executive search runs on a retained basis. Managing directors, general managers, chief executives, chief operating officers, chief financial officers and non-executive directors for UK middle-market employers, PE-backed portfolios and family-office holdings.
Every retained search carries a re-run clause. If the appointment does not land inside the agreed window for reasons that trace back to the search, we re-run at no additional fee.
Some sectors will not tolerate a generalist recruiter. Chartered accountancy, SRA-regulated legal, specialist IT stacks, chartered engineering, regulatory affairs in life sciences. We staff these desks with consultants who are fluent in the credential map, the professional-body affiliations and the market context before you brief them.
We built the firm around what serious UK hiring managers were missing from mainstream recruitment: sector fluency, credential rigour, honest package advice and one accountable consultant on every brief.
Every consultant recruits inside the sector they serve. You spend the intake call describing the role, not educating us on your industry.
Every qualification verified before shortlist. Chartered status, professional-body membership, technical certifications, right-to-work paperwork, references.
The consultant who takes the brief runs the search, closes the offer and calls at day thirty and day ninety. Nobody hides behind an inbox.
Standard time from signed brief to ranked shortlist. Three to five candidates, credential-checked, with our written notes on each.
Every permanent placement carries a written guarantee. If the hire leaves inside the window for reasons tracing back to the search, we re-run at no additional fee.
Active networks across every UK region and nation, from London and the South through the Midlands and North, into Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
