Permanent Staffing Solutions Built Around Your Hiring Needs

We Handle the Entire Process

Writing and placing adverts, searching our database, headhunting quietly where a role calls for executive search, screening applications, checking references and running background checks — we do all of it, so your team can carry on with the job in front of them.

Every shortlist we send is assembled by consultants who understand the role, not pulled together from a keyword match. Our permanent recruitment service gives you access to experienced recruiters who take the time to understand your business, culture and hiring requirements.

What Does It Cost?

Our pricing is open from the first conversation and covers everything from advertising through to the final stage of selection. Our fee is tied to results, which means you only pay us once we have found the suitable candidate you were looking for.

We believe recruitment costs should be clear and straightforward, with no unnecessary surprises along the way.

And If Something Does Not Work Out

Every permanent placement comes with a 90 to 120 day money-back guarantee. We stay in touch through the probation period, check in with both sides, and step in early if anything needs sorting.

That is the level of professional service we think you should expect when you trust a recruitment agency with an important appointment.
