Recruitment done properly.

We are industry insiders, not career recruiters. We have hired our own teams, built our own networks, and know the difference between a CV that looks good and a candidate who actually is.

Industry experts.

Our team has held senior roles in marketing, digital, communications and sales. We understand your world: the pressures, the skill gaps, the culture before you have even briefed us.

360 degree profiling.

Every candidate comes with a full picture: strengths, development areas, team fit. Everything you would want to know if you were hiring yourself. No stack of CVs and good luck.

No ghosting. Ever.

Every candidate gets feedback. Every client commits to responding within seven days of meeting someone we introduce. We think that is the bare minimum. Apparently it is rare.

How it works.

The briefing.

Send us a job brief, even a rough draft. We will get together properly, not just a quick call, to understand the role, the team and what good actually looks like for you. We agree a timeline that works. Most searches take around two weeks but we move fast when you need us to.

The search.

We go to our network first. We know who is open to a move, who is worth approaching, and who would be a great fit before they have even applied. If the right person is not in our database, we go and find them.

The shortlist.

Here is where we do things differently. We interview every candidate ourselves. Then you choose how you want to assess them:

  • Standard shortlist: a small number of fully profiled candidates, each with a detailed 360 degree assessment covering skills, experience, strengths and team fit. No padding. No fillers.
  • Blind CVs (available on request): we remove names and identifying information before anything reaches you. Every candidate is assessed purely on what they can do.
  • Task based shortlist (available on request): we set candidates a relevant task and send you the work, not the CVs. You see what people can actually do before you meet them.

The interview.

This is where you take over and we make it as easy as possible. We coordinate diaries, prep both sides and coach on interview technique if it is useful. We often recommend a second stage task so you can see candidates in action.

The offer.

Most of the time it is straightforward. When it is not, counter offers, competing opportunities, we have navigated it all before and we will guide you through it.

I probably progress 85 to 90% of the candidates Suze puts forward and consistently hire from her shortlist. I consider Suze more of an ally than a recruiter.

We are not here to fill a role and move on. We are here to make the right introduction and make sure it sticks.
