Permanent recruitment
The right specialist, shortlisted with care.
A consultant who specialises in your industry takes a full brief, maps the market, approaches candidates who are not actively applying, and interviews every candidate before you see them. You receive a short list with clear notes on each person's experience, motivation, salary expectation and notice period.
The challenge
A key role sits open for months. Job boards bring volume but not fit, and your managers spend their week screening instead of leading.
When it works best
- —Mid-level and senior specialist roles
- —Replacing a critical leaver
- —New roles where the market is unfamiliar
- —Hiring in a city where you have no network

Frequently asked questions
How long does a search take?
Most specialist searches produce a first shortlist within two weeks. Senior or scarce roles take longer, and we agree timelines in the brief.
How is the fee calculated?
A percentage of the hired candidate's first-year fixed salary, payable when they join. See our pricing page for details.
What if the hire leaves early?
Every permanent placement includes a replacement period. If the person leaves within it, we search again at no extra fee.
