How the search runs
Tell us the role
A short brief — the role, the must-haves, the salary you're working to. We benchmark it against the market and tell you honestly whether it's fillable at that level before you commit a penny.
Agree a fixed price up front
Your flat fee is set by salary band, from £1,500 +VAT, and it never moves. No percentage of salary, no commission, no surprise invoice at the end. Payment is upon instruction.
We advertise and we headhunt
A dedicated recruiter writes the advert, distributes it across the UK's major job boards, and proactively headhunts the people who aren't scrolling the boards — because the best candidate for most roles isn't actively looking.
You get a screened shortlist
We screen every application and telephone pre-screen the strongest, then present a shortlist of interviewed candidates with a presentation pack — not a CV flood. In week 6 we review the search with you against the market. You interview the ones you like; we manage scheduling and offers.
You hire — and if it isn't filled, we keep going
The price never changes, whatever the hire's salary. If the role isn't filled in the first 8 weeks, we work it for a further 8 weeks at no extra cost. If it is still open after 16 weeks, the search closes and we agree any further work with you.

Fair questions
Is the price really fixed?
Yes — a flat fee by salary band (from £1,500 +VAT), agreed before we start. No percentage of salary, no commission, no surprise invoice. Payment is upon instruction.
What if the role isn't filled in 8 weeks?
We keep working it for a further 8 weeks at no extra cost. If the role is still open after 16 weeks, the search closes and we agree any further work with you. It works best as teamwork: a competitive salary, openness to transferable skills, quick feedback and fair, inclusive hiring.
My role is niche. Can you actually fill it?
Niche is where headhunting beats advertising. And the Talent Pool Assessment protects you: if the pool genuinely isn't there, we tell you before you pay anything.
What happens after I click Start today?
You give us the role in about two minutes. We run a Talent Pool Assessment and come back within one working day with an honest answer: fillable or not, at what salary, and your exact flat fee. You pay nothing until you instruct us.
