Your questions, answered
From how our process works to what our fees look like — a quick rundown of the things people ask us most often.
What industries and sectors do you recruit for?
We specialise in Finance, HR, Operations, Commercial, Sales and Administrative support roles across the UK. Our team has in-house experience across each of these sectors.
Do you handle permanent, temporary or contract roles?
All three. We offer permanent recruitment, temp-to-perm arrangements and executive/senior-level search — as well as project and volume campaigns when needed.
How long does a typical recruitment process take?
Most permanent roles are filled within four to six weeks from brief to offer. Senior and confidential searches can take longer depending on the market and scope.
What are your fees?
Our fees depend on the type of engagement — contingency, retained or RPO. We're upfront about pricing from the outset, with no hidden costs and are happy to talk through the model that suits your business best.
Do you offer any placement guarantees?
Yes. Every permanent placement comes with a rebate period as standard and we work closely with you and the candidate through onboarding to make sure the fit is right.
How do you vet and screen candidates?
Every candidate goes through a structured screening process that explores not only their skills and experience but also their values. Additional checks such as DBS, reference or credit checks — can be completed on request during the onboarding stage
I'm a candidate — how do I apply for a role?
Browse our live vacancies and apply directly through the site or send us your CV and we will be in touch when a suitable role opens up. Every application is reviewed by a real consultant, not a bot.
Will my application be kept confidential?
Absolutely. We never share your details with a client without your explicit consent and confidential search is built into every senior-level engagement as standard.
Do you support with CVs and interview prep?
Yes — we offer CV feedback, interview coaching and honest guidance on the roles we put you forward for. It's all part of how we work, at no cost to candidates.
How do I get started as a client?
The easiest way is to get in touch for an initial conversation. We will take a brief, share market insight and outline the approach that fits your role, timeline and budget.
