A UK professional recruitment firm placing permanent hires across twelve specialist practices. One consultant per brief. Ranked shortlist. Hires that stay past renewal.
We built the firm around what serious UK employers were missing from mainstream recruitment: sector fluency, credential rigour, and a single accountable consultant on every brief from intake through onboarding follow-up.
Our consultants recruit inside the practice they serve. Finance, legal, HR, sales, marketing, IT, operations, engineering. You spend intake describing the role, not our education.
Professional bodies, right-to-work status, education parity, membership standing. No CV leaves our desk until the paperwork is checked against the issuing body.
Not a stack of unfiltered CVs. Three to five candidates ranked, with written notes on each, current package and notice period documented before introduction.
The consultant who takes the brief runs the search, lands the hire and follows up at day 30 and day 90. Nobody hides behind a shared inbox or an account layer.
If a package band is light for the discipline and seniority, we say so before we start the search. Better a difficult intake conversation than a fifteen-week wasted search.
If a hire leaves inside the guarantee window for reasons that trace back to the search, we replace them at no extra fee. No clawback games, no argument.
Role, scope, package range, timeline and credential bar agreed in one call. Consultant is already sector-fluent.
Active network plus discreet approach to passive candidates. Client identity withheld until you release it.
Three to five candidates, credential-checked, notice-period confirmed, our written notes on each, ranked.
Interview coordination, offer structuring, counter-offer support, onboarding follow-up at day 30 and 90.
