What you might want to know
What roles do you recruit for permanently?
We specialise in permanent hires across Marketing, Creative, Business Operations, Product, Sales, and HR roles.
What’s your approach to permanent recruitment?
We use a consultative, tailored approach to understand your business, culture, and goals before sourcing candidates who align with both your requirements and values.
How long does a permanent hire typically take?
Timelines can vary, but our thorough process usually delivers strong shortlists within 2 weeks from brief.
Why should I use a recruiter instead of hiring directly?
Working with us saves you time and ensures you’re seeing only the most relevant, qualified candidates. We tap into both active and passive talent pools, often reaching candidates you wouldn’t find through job boards or internal ads alone.
What makes your recruitment approach different?
We take the time to fully understand your business, culture, and team goals before we begin. We don’t just send CVs — we offer insight, advice, and carefully matched candidates who align with your values as well as the role.
Do you already have candidates on your books?
Yes, we have a strong network of pre-qualified candidates across marketing, creative, business operations, product, sales, and HR roles, but we also run bespoke searches for every brief to ensure the best possible match.
How do you assess whether someone is a good fit for our business?
We conduct in-depth, role-neutral, conversations with candidates to understand their experience, motivations, values, and working style. We only introduce people we genuinely believe will thrive in your team and environment.
What happens if the person we hire doesn’t work out?
We offer a rebate period for peace of mind and always look to understand what went wrong. Our aim is to build long-term partnerships, so we’ll work with you to make it right. Our rebates are up to 6 months, depending on the service level agreed.
How long does the process usually take from briefing to hire?
Typically, we present a shortlist within 2 weeks, and from there, the timeline depends on interviews, notice periods, and offer stages. We’ll guide you through each step to keep things moving smoothly.
Can you help us with multiple hires or team builds?
Yes, we regularly support clients with multi-role recruitment drives and team builds. We can tailor a plan to suit your timescales, budgets, and internal resource.
