Universities
Professionalcommittees
Public sector

You will only see the CVs of suitable, interested and available candidates whom we consider credible following our screening process.

Choose the right recruitment package for your needs

Retained search
This is appropriate for senior appointments or when the search is to be very specific or confidential.

The service:

Uses a variety of search and selection tools
Ensures that the candidates with the most potential know about the appointment
Avoids compromise and eliminates risk

With Retained search we meet each candidate (where possible) and discuss the position you need to fill.

Contingency assignment
We combine advertising with a focused search of our database. It is suitable for assignments at all levels.

You pay nothing unless the candidate starts working for you.
'No placement, no fee.'

This service works best if any of these apply:

the role is well defined
you need a particular type of person
there are multiple roles to fill
advertising is likely to be effective

Contingency assignment is recommended where we believe that advertising alongside our candidate database will deliver high quality interested candidates without the need for research:

The most promising candidates are interviewed by telephone

You receive a comprehensive Candidate Profile for the best of the candidates. This includes:

Salary and notice period
Education and other qualifications
Career history and relevant experience
Analysis of strengths and any weaknesses
Recommendations on suitability for the role

Temporary contract or interim resources
Sometimes you need specialist temporary or interim staff to cover an unexpected gap. Candidates can be working effectively within one or two days from your initial request.

Interim staff can be the most effective way of dealing with:

maternity leave
holiday cover
long-term sickness
reallocation of existing staff within the company

Temporary contract or interim resources can help you manage growth or change, when you require specialist skills and experience in the short, medium or long term.

We are equally happy to be included in your preferred supplier list, or to work with you on an ad-hoc basis.
