How a search works
Whatever the engagement model, each search follows a clear process with one person accountable throughout.
We align on the market, the team, and what good looks like for your hire, not a generic job description.
We map the market, approach people directly, and keep you updated on who’s interested and why.
We manage interviews, feedback and expectations so candidates and hiring managers stay aligned.
We support the offer, negotiation and acceptance, and stay involved until the hire is settled in.
Engagement
Engagement is shaped around how your business hires. We support permanent and contract appointments, and agree the model that fits the brief.
Subscription-style support embedded alongside your team for continuous or multi-role hiring, with predictable monthly involvement rather than a one-off search.
Scoped around a defined multi-hire campaign or hiring sprint, with clear deliverables and timelines agreed up front.
Exclusive, dedicated search for executive and other critical appointments where depth of market coverage and confidentiality are essential.
A written programme for a defined hiring initiative, with scope, milestones and responsibilities set out before work begins.
We hire for permanent roles and contract assignments, depending on the vacancy, the market and how you need the team to scale.
