Meet Our Founder
I started this agency in 2009 with a phone, a laptop, and 15 years of in-house recruitment experience. I had spent long enough watching agencies send the wrong candidates, miss deadlines, and charge fees they had not earned. I knew it could be done better because I had been on the receiving end of everything that was wrong with it.
Seventeen years later, we have placed over 3,000 candidates, built a team of 24 specialist consultants, and kept clients who signed up in year one. We are still independent, still privately owned, and still run by someone who actually worked in recruitment before deciding to sell it.
What I Believe
- Every client deserves a consultant who understands their sector, not just their job spec
- Candidates are professionals, not stock to be shifted
- Recruitment fees should reflect the work that went into earning them
- If we cannot fill a role properly, we will say so upfront
- The best agencies are built on repeat business, not one-off transaction

From Redundancy to Regional Director in 6 Weeks
When James came to us, he had just been made redundant after 11 years with the same company. He had not written a CV since 2013, had no LinkedIn presence, and no idea what his market value was. Most agencies would have updated his CV, fired it out to 30 companies, and hoped for the best. We did something different.
We spent two hours with James in our first meeting. We rebuilt his CV from scratch, restructured his LinkedIn profile, and ran a full salary benchmarking exercise so he knew exactly what to expect. We identified 8 target companies in this sector, approached 5 of them confidentially, and secured 3 interviews within two weeks. He accepted an offer as Regional Director at a salary 18% higher than his previous role. Six weeks from the first meeting to the signed contract.
What Made the Difference
- A proper career consultation before any applications were made
- CV and LinkedIn rewritten by a consultant who understood his sector
- Targeted, confidential approaches to pre-selected companies rather than blanket applications
- Full interview preparation, including hiring manager insights and company briefings
- Salary negotiation support that secured an offer above the initial range

Contract and Temporary Recruitment
Not every hire needs to be permanent. Sometimes you need someone tomorrow, not in four weeks. Our contract desk places interim professionals, temporary staff, and fixed-term contractors across all of our core sectors. From a single-day temp cover to a 12-month interim director assignment, we handle the full process including compliance, onboarding paperwork, and payroll if you need it.
Speed matters in contract recruitment and we are built for it. Our contract consultants maintain an active bench of pre-vetted, immediately available professionals who have already been interviewed, reference-checked, and compliance-cleared. When you call us at 8am, we are not starting a search from scratch. We are checking availability on people we already know and trust.
Why Clients Use Our Contract Desk
- Average time to supply: same day for temp roles, 48 hours for specialist contractors
- All contractors are pre-vetted with verified references and compliance documentation
- Fully managed payroll service available, including IR35 assessment and determination
- Dedicated contract consultant for your account with 24/7 availability during live assignments
- No minimum booking period and no penalty for early release

Retained Search for Senior and Board-Level Appointments
Some roles are too critical for a contingency approach. When the wrong hire at senior level costs six figures in lost time, disruption, and re-recruitment, the process needs to match the stakes. Our retained search service is designed for CEO, CFO, MD, VP, and board-level appointments where confidentiality, rigour, and market coverage are non-negotiable.
Every retained assignment is led by a senior consultant with a minimum of 10 years of sector experience. We map the full market before we approach anyone. We assess candidates against competency frameworks agreed with you at the briefing stage, not just against a job description. And we manage every step of the process from first approach through to offer negotiation and onboarding support, so your internal team can focus on running the business.
What a Retained Search Includes
- Full market mapping with a long list of identified candidates before the search begins
- Confidential, direct approaches to passive candidates at competitor and target organisations
- Competency-based assessment and psychometric profiling for shortlisted candidates
- Detailed candidate reports with interview recommendations and salary benchmarking
- 12-month placement guarantee with a free replacement search if the hire does not work out

Ready for Your Next Role?
You do not need to wait until you are desperate to start looking. The best time to talk to a specialist recruiter is when you are comfortable in your current role but open to something better. We will give you an honest view of the market, tell you what your skills are worth right now, and make sure you are on our radar when the right opportunity comes up.
When you register with us, you get a named consultant who knows your sector. Not a call centre. Not an automated email. A real person who will only contact you about roles that match what you are looking for. Your CV is never sent anywhere without your explicit permission, and we will never share your details with a client without speaking to you first. Over 80% of our placements come from referrals and repeat candidates. That does not happen by accident.
What Happens When You Register
- Your CV is reviewed by a sector specialist within 24 hours
- You get a phone or video call to discuss your experience, preferences, and salary expectations
- We match you to live roles and flag any upcoming opportunities before they are advertised
- You receive honest feedback after every interview, including what to improve
- Your details stay confidential and are never shared without your consent

Technology Recruitment
We have recruited technology professionals since 2009 and our tech desk is the largest in the business. We place software engineers, DevOps specialists, data engineers, IT managers, infrastructure architects, CTOs, and everything in between. Permanent, contract, and interim. We work with SaaS companies, fintechs, e-commerce brands, MSPs, and enterprise IT departments across the UK.
Our tech consultants are not generalists who read a job spec and search a database. They understand the difference between a React developer and an Angular developer, why your DevOps engineer needs Terraform experience and not just AWS certification, and what "senior" actually means in a 15-person start-up versus a 5,000-person bank. That matters when you are competing for candidates who get ten LinkedIn messages a day.
What Our Tech Clients Get
- A dedicated consultant who recruits exclusively in technology
- Market mapping and salary benchmarking before the search starts
- Access to passive candidates through our 12,000-strong tech network
- Technical pre-screening so you only interview candidates who can actually do the job
- Average time to shortlist: 4 working days for permanent, 48 hours for contract
