Our Services

Our Exclusive service is tailored for businesses looking for a committed, single-agency approach to recruitment. Acting as your sole recruitment partner, we take the time to fully embed ourselves in your business. By sitting on-site, meeting with hiring managers, and understanding your culture, we can tailor the recruitment process to your exact needs. We don’t just source candidates; we deliver carefully vetted shortlists of individuals who match your technical requirements and align with your company values. By investing time upfront, we ensure you don’t waste time interviewing the wrong people, saving resources and accelerating your hiring process.

Exclusive, fast access to candidates that are perfect for your company

A higher success rate in finding long-term, quality hires
The Retained service is designed for businesses that need a high-priority, dedicated focus for their most important roles. With this model, we partner closely with you throughout the hiring process, delivering a structured and phased recruitment journey with agreed milestones at every step. We break the process into three payment stages—at instruction, shortlist delivery, and successful hire—ensuring accountability and progress. This approach allows us to dedicate additional time, resources, and effort to secure the right candidate for high-stakes roles, such as executive or specialised positions.
