Flexible Recruitment Partnerships Built Around Your Needs
Our permanent recruitment services support you at every stage of hiring, with flexible models tailored to your needs, structure and growth plans.
Our permanent recruitment services are designed to support your business at every stage of the hiring process.
We offer flexible recruitment models to align with your hiring needs, business structure and growth plans.
- Retained Recruitment
Our retained recruitment service is designed for senior, specialist or business-critical hires where a more structured and focused headhunting approach is required.
Working on a retained basis allows us to dedicate the time and resource needed to conduct a thorough targeted search and engage the most relevant talent.
What this means for you:
- A dedicated consultant focused on your assignment
- Confidentiality assured
- Clear talent mapping
- A structured search process with agreed milestones
- Proactive headhunting and targeted market outreach
- Greater candidate engagement and commitment
- Regular progress updates and transparent communication
- A focused, high-quality shortlist
Retained recruitment is particularly effective for roles where precision matters. It allows us to take a thorough and proactive approach, ensuring you have access to the right talent rather than simply the most available candidates.
- Priority Partnership (Exclusive)
Our Priority Partnership service is designed for organisations that need speed, focus and a deeper level of recruitment support without moving to a fully retained model.
This exclusive approach allows us to act as an extension of your business, moving quickly in the market and proactively building talent pipelines aligned to your future needs.
What this means for you:
- A dedicated consultant who understands your business and hiring priorities
- Faster response times and prioritised delivery
- A deeper understanding of your organisation and employer brand
- Ongoing market insight and hiring guidance
- Access to our wider advisory support, including talent mapping and benchmarking
- Reduced agency competition and a stronger candidate experience
Priority Partnership is built on collaboration rather than transactions, giving you a trusted recruitment partner focused on long term results.
- On Demand Recruitment
Our on demand recruitment service provides flexible support when hiring needs arise, giving you access to talent quickly without the commitment of a retained or exclusive partnership.
We take the time to understand the role, your team and the type of person who will succeed in your organisation, sourcing candidates aligned to your culture.
What this means for you:
- Flexible recruitment support when vacancies arise
- Access to our network of active and passive candidates
- Structured screening and candidate assessment
- Honest feedback and market insight throughout the process
- A focused shortlist aligned to your brief
- No upfront commitment
This model works well for organisations with occasional or ad hoc hiring requirements while maintaining the quality and care expected from a trusted recruitment partner.
Which Recruitment Approach Is Right For Your Business?
Different hiring needs require different recruitment approaches.
We work with organisations to recommend the most effective solution depending on the role, urgency and level of market competition.
