Why we are different

We always remember who we are working with. We never lose sight of the human factor. First and foremost, we work hard to understand your needs and those of our candidates.

We focus on the details. We know that the little things make a big difference, like finding out if a potential candidate has a holiday planned or making sure you are kept fully up-to-date on your recruitment progress. We don’t make assumptions and will listen for the nuances that make your needs different from the rest.

We think laterally. We don’t just take the obvious route. Our creative search philosophy can unearth candidates you may not have considered. We draw on our extensive national and international networks to look far beyond the local market.

You get more. We offer a range of extra services to clients, totally free of charge. These include an on-boarding process for successful candidates, salary and market surveys, databanks of potential future candidates and exit interviews with former placements.

As part of our process when assessing candidates, we profile them.  Finding the right person for the job can be challenging and Job Profile assists to minimise risk and provides a resource to help identify the ideal candidate. It helps us more effectively match candidates talents to the job and organisational culture.  

Why you’ll like working with us

You’ll find we are driven by teamwork, not by individual performance. That means if your consultant is away, the rest of the team will be fully informed about your position and its progress.

We work with integrity. We operate by a strict code of ethics. Integrity, trust and collaboration are paramount to us, and the organisations we work with. We do not poach candidates or roles, for example.

Our services are flexible and nimble. Our unbundled services give you choice and flexibility. You can call on us for help with a one-off project or even just one element of the recruitment process. For instance, we can write an unbranded recruitment advertisement for you or conduct initial reference checks to our usual thorough standards. We work in whichever way suits you best.

You’ll find us straightforward and open. Our advice is clear and to the point and we keep everyone involved regularly updated on our progress – candidates, line managers and the HR or recruitment team alike. You will hear from us at least every two days during the recruitment process for roles at manager level and above, and you will receive written progress reports. Candidates tell us repeatedly that they value our exceptional level of care.
