Our Approach

Our approach is built on a foundation of understanding our clients' needs and working closely with them to find the perfect candidate. We take the time to understand the company culture, the job requirements, and the ideal candidate profile. We then use our expertise to source the most suitable candidates and conduct a rigorous screening process to ensure the best fit for the role.

Our Process

Our process is designed to ensure that we deliver the best results for our clients. We believe in strong communication, transparency, and collaboration. Our process is broken down into four stages:

Discovery: This is where we get to know your business, your goals, and the team's needs. We assess whether the titles and skill-sets you've briefed in to us match your needs and ambitions. If the brief needs redefining, we'll do that together.

Perfecting the Brief: Here, we interrogate the brief, prioritising the skills that mean the most. We craft a super-precise question list, helping hiring managers get the answers they need.

Screening Meeting and Screening: We meet all candidates face-to-face or on video and gauge their cultural and professional fit before sending them to you. We use the criteria we worked on together to assess their suitability.

CV Submission: We filter down to the perfect CVs. Only at this point do we send you a CV, with a detailed write-up reflecting how the candidate meets your business needs.
