Three hard gates sat on this brief: HCPC registration, valid professional indemnity cover, and a full licence and own vehicle, because the caseload runs across two clinics in Hampshire and Dorset. Alternate Saturday mornings form part of the week, and sponsorship was not available, so the search was limited to people already able to work in the UK.
Nineteen candidates were worked and nine taken to internal interview. Five were presented to the practice. Two were interviewed and one was hired, 40 days from brief. Around a quarter of everyone worked proved strong enough to present, which is a good ratio on a role with three non-negotiable qualification gates.

How the fee works
Every role on this page was delivered on the same basis: a fixed fee, agreed before we start, with no percentage of salary attached. The straightforward search and the difficult one cost the client the same.
That is the point of the model. A percentage fee charges you more for hiring a better-paid person and rewards us for the easy search. A fixed fee puts the risk of a long search where it belongs — with us. And if we do not fill the role, you get every penny of your fee back.
Every figure here comes from our own placement records. Clients and placed candidates are not named. Full detail on the model is on our Guaranteed Hire page.
