- South West London, full time
Our client supplies blue-collar labour to construction and was building out a 360 desk. Previous recruitment experience was welcome but not required, so the filter was temperament rather than CV: resilience, competitiveness, and comfort on the phone. Backgrounds in sales, estate agency, hospitality management and customer service all counted.
Twenty candidates were sourced and screened, and all twenty were interviewed by us before anything went to the client. Eleven were presented. Nine reached client interview and one was hired. A wide-open brief takes longer to close, not less time; this one ran to 76 days.

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.
