What We Do

Recruitment built around your business.

We work across technology, finance, and professional services, placing permanent, contract, and interim talent at every level — from specialist hires to board-level appointments.

Retained Executive Search

For senior and board-level appointments.

When getting the hire right is non-negotiable, retained search gives you dedicated resource, structured methodology, and a genuine partnership throughout the process.

Engagement model: Retained fee structure

What's included

  • Detailed role brief and stakeholder alignment session
  • Comprehensive market map and competitor landscape
  • Proactive outreach to passive, high-calibre candidates
  • Longlisting, screening, and competency assessment
  • Structured shortlist presentation with assessor notes
  • Interview coordination and candidate preparation
  • Reference checks, offer management, and counter-offer support
  • 90-day placement guarantee

Contingent Recruitment

Fast, flexible hiring. No placement, no fee.

For mid-level hires where speed and quality both matter. We draw on our active network and intelligent sourcing to deliver pre-screened, well-matched candidates quickly.

Engagement model: Success-only fee on placement

What's included

  • Swift role briefing and candidate brief sign-off
  • Network search and targeted advertising where appropriate
  • CV review, telephone screening, and skills assessment
  • Shortlist of pre-qualified candidates within agreed SLA
  • Interview scheduling and candidate management
  • Offer support and onboarding coordination
  • Post-placement follow-up at 30 and 60 days

Interim & Contract

Specialist talent placed at pace.

Whether you need a Finance Director to lead a transformation programme or a Tech Lead to deliver a critical build, we mobilise experienced interim professionals quickly.

Engagement model: Margin-based or fixed daily fee

What's included

  • Same-day or next-day briefing and search activation
  • Access to a pre-vetted network of available interim talent
  • IR35 status assessment and compliance guidance
  • Day-rate benchmarking and negotiation
  • Right-to-work and reference verification
  • Contract and SOW support
  • Extension and off-boarding management

Market Intelligence

Data to sharpen your hiring strategy.

Informed hiring decisions start with robust market data. We provide salary benchmarking, talent mapping, and competitor analysis to help you attract and retain the best people.

Engagement model: Project-based or retained advisory

What's included

  • Role-specific salary benchmarking reports
  • Talent availability and supply/demand analysis
  • Competitor organisational mapping
  • DEI landscape analysis for target talent pools
  • Hiring market commentary and quarterly updates
  • Advisory on offer competitiveness and candidate expectations

Our Process

How we run every search.

01

Briefing & Discovery

We invest time upfront to understand your business, culture, and the specific outcomes you need from each hire. This informs every decision we make throughout the search.

02

Market Mapping

We build a comprehensive picture of the available talent landscape — who is in the market, who isn't, where the best people are, and what it will take to attract them.

03

Targeted Search

Proactive, direct outreach to high-calibre candidates — including those not actively looking. Every candidate is rigorously screened before they reach you.

04

Shortlist & Assessment

You receive a focused shortlist with detailed assessor notes — not a pile of CVs. We manage all interview logistics and keep every candidate engaged throughout.

05

Offer & Close

We manage the offer process, handle counter-offers, and support onboarding to maximise the chance of a successful start. We stay involved after day one.
