Why Us

Our firm is based on sound values of respect, empathy, honesty and commitment. We are passionate about what we do and determined to help our clients succeed through a strategy of building long-term partnerships.

We have a sound and proven business that encompasses:

• A targeted search and selection process – we conduct a rigorous and diligent search for the right individual that will match your requirements both in terms of skill set and cultural fit.
• Open, honest, and sometimes challenging advice to ensure the most successful outcome.
• A continued relationship with you as an individual to enhance your career and support your life ambitions.

Guarantees to Clients

• Our partnership philosophy means we are brought in early on in the recruitment process and are able to add immediate value in offering innovative solutions to sometimes complex requirements.
• We agree a fixed fee with you for each assignment so there are no hidden costs.
• We are creative in our search. By identifying both your core requirements and your company values we are able to identify candidates that match the brief from sometimes unexpected sources.
• We offer a shortlist of top quality candidates that we know will match your requirements by skill set, cultural fit and by understanding their motivation for taking this role. We will not waste your time.
• We will work to a time schedule agreed by you. We understand that time is precious.
• We stand by every commitment to client and candidate – responses to enquiries, commitment to deadlines and the ability to be on the end of the phone to chat through any query.
• We communicate with you as often as you would like – this is your search.
• We ask for your feedback on our performance following an assignment.
• We would continue to identify and attract candidates for the brief for a further six month period if an appointment is not made from the initial shortlist.
• If an appointment proves to be unsuccessful within the first six months we would repeat the assignment free of charge (except for expenses).
