The questions we're asked before anyone commits.

Fees start from 10%. Contingency searches run no win, no fee as standard, and retained mandates are available too. The exact fee depends on the role and the search, so we agree it with you in writing before any work begins.

By going to them. We map the market to see who is genuinely good at the job, then approach them directly — often people who are settled in their role and have never seen your advert. We find people. We don't wait for people to find us.

Commercial and sales roles are our specialism — sales, business development, key accounts and commercial leadership. We recruit them in the markets we know best: industrial, manufacturing and technical — PPE & safety, workwear, tooling and power tool accessories, manufacturing, and engineering & technical roles. We also place marketing, operations, HR & people, technical, leadership and C-suite hires.

Across the UK, Europe and internationally. We're currently recruiting a Mainland Europe marketing role based in the Amsterdam area alongside UK-based searches.

It starts with understanding the role and what actually makes someone successful in it. From there we plan the workforce need, map the market, headhunt directly, interview and shortlist, and stay involved through offer and onboarding.

Our average time to fill senior roles is six to eight weeks. Timelines vary with the market and the brief, so we'll give you a realistic view before we start.

Experienced recruitment capability you can draw on without hiring it. Useful when volume is rising, when you're entering a new market, or when you simply need more hands on the search than your team currently has.

Yes. Executive search covers leadership and C-suite appointments, run discreetly and with a mapped market rather than a speculative advert.

We can. Alongside recruitment and search we offer HR and people support, so hiring and the wider people agenda don't sit in two different places.

We're often appointed exclusively on the searches we run — both of our live vacancies are exclusive appointments. It isn't the only way we work, so tell us what suits the role and we'll talk it through.

Contingency searches run no win, no fee as standard, and retained mandates are part of how we work too. Ask Ciara how that would apply to your role before work starts, so there are no surprises.

Register your interest on our candidates page — a minute of your time, and you'll hear about roles that never reach a job board. You can also apply directly to anything live on our careers page.

We've sat on both sides of the recruitment table, so we know what a good hire actually needs from the business as well as from the candidate. Most of our work is repeat business — over 70% — and more than 95% of people we place stay with the businesses they join. In practice we work as an extra member of your team who happens to know the recruitment market inside out.
