Our contingent and permanent recruitment process


Our contingent and permanent recruitment model is built for flexibility, speed and quality. We take a people-first approach, providing a bespoke approach considering all the needs of both business and candidates. Our process combines sector knowledge with a consultative and tailored approach. From defining the brief to post-placement success, we guide you every step of the way.

 
  • 01

    Brief

    We begin by getting under the skin of your business to create a detailed profile of the individual you’re looking for based on your challenges, team needs, and role requirements.

  • 02

    Research and sourcing

    Next, we build a market map of available talent, approaching suitable individuals to ascertain their availability and fit. Our talent pools are constantly updated, and we advertise where necessary.

  • 03

    Longlist

    Based on this research we build a longlist of qualified candidates matched to your brief and market conditions. Candidates that make the longlist are a match for all your criteria.

  • 04

    Shortlist

    The longlist is refined based on your feedback to create a shortlist of candidates to be further refined and vetted either in-person or virtually.

  • 05

    Interview

    We coordinate and support every stage of the interview process, providing candidate insights, managing logistics, and gathering feedback.

  • 06

    Offer management

    Once you’re ready to make an offer, we help you negotiate with the successful candidate aligning expectations and ensuring a smooth process for all parties.

  • 07

    Aftercare

    Post-placement, our aftercare service means we stay in touch to support you during onboarding and check progress throughout the life of the placement.
