Story panel Type 1
The Story Panel widget is a paginated content slider that pairs a portrait image with a name, job title, and supporting text, making it a natural fit for testimonials, team spotlights, candidate stories, or client case studies. Visitors can scroll through each entry at their own pace, with the layout keeping the focus firmly on the person and their message.
Though it works well as a testimonial widget, it can be used for any story-led content. Each panel automatically adopts your brand colours and can be displayed against a light, dark, or white background, in your primary or secondary brand colours, or backed by a striking image or video.
Every layout is fully responsive and optimised for mobile, SEO, and AI visibility. No coding required, just add your content in the admin panel and let your pages do the talking.

Executive Search
Some roles are too important to fill with a job advert and a prayer. Our executive search service is built for senior, board-level, and hard-to-fill positions where the right hire changes the direction of the business and the wrong one costs you a year.
We map the market, identify passive candidates who are not actively looking, and run a structured, confidential process from first approach to final offer. Every search is led by a senior consultant with direct sector experience. You get a dedicated shortlist, a detailed assessment of each candidate, and full support through the offer and onboarding process.
Typical assignments are completed within 6 to 8 weeks. If you are filling a role that keeps you up at night, this is the service you need.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing
Recruitment Process Outsourcing, or RPO, is where a business transfers all or part of its recruitment function to an external specialist provider.
Rather than managing hiring in-house, the RPO partner takes responsibility for sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding candidates, acting as an extension of your internal HR or talent acquisition team.
RPO is particularly well-suited to organisations experiencing rapid growth, seasonal hiring peaks, or those looking to reduce cost-per-hire and time-to-fill. It delivers consistency, scalability, and access to specialist expertise without the overhead of a permanent internal recruitment team, making it a smart solution for businesses of all sizes.
Vendor Management
Vendor Management is the process by which a business oversees and coordinates its relationships with third-party suppliers, including recruitment agencies, contractors, and service providers. In a recruitment context, a Vendor Management System, or VMS, gives organisations a single, centralised platform to manage multiple staffing suppliers, track spend, monitor performance, and ensure compliance across all hiring activity.
Rather than managing each agency relationship separately, vendor management brings structure, visibility, and control to the entire supply chain. It reduces duplication, drives down costs, and ensures the right suppliers are engaged for the right roles, making it an essential tool for businesses with complex or high-volume hiring needs.

Example content using interview tips
Interview tip 1
One of the most common mistakes candidates make is turning up to an interview underprepared. Before your interview, take time to thoroughly research the company, its services, its clients, its culture, and any recent news or developments. Look at their website, their social media channels, and any press coverage.
Understand what makes them different from their competitors and think about how your experience aligns with their goals. Interviewers consistently say that candidates who demonstrate genuine knowledge of the business stand out immediately. It shows initiative, enthusiasm, and that you are serious about the role, not just any role.
Interview tip 2
Competency-based interviews are common across most sectors, and the best way to answer them is to use the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
When asked to give an example of a time you dealt with a difficult client, led a project, or handled a tight deadline, structure your answer clearly. Describe the situation, explain your specific role, walk through the actions you took, and finish with the outcome.
Practise your STAR answers before the interview so they feel natural rather than rehearsed. Specific, evidence-backed answers are far more convincing than vague or generalised responses.
Interview tip 3
An interview is a two-way conversation, and the questions you ask say as much about you as the answers you give. Prepare three or four genuine questions in advance that show you have thought seriously about the role and the company.
Ask about team structure, what success looks like in the first six months, or how the business is evolving. Avoid asking about salary or holidays at the first stage unless the interviewer raises it.
Good questions demonstrate curiosity, commercial awareness, and a long-term mindset, all qualities that hiring managers actively look for in strong candidates.
Interview tip 4
Research consistently shows that interviewers form an initial impression within the first few minutes of meeting a candidate, often before a single question has been asked.
Arrive on time, dress appropriately for the company culture, and greet everyone you meet with confidence and warmth, including reception staff. Make eye contact, offer a firm handshake, and bring a copy of your CV. Your body language, tone of voice, and energy all contribute to how you come across.
Being polite, composed, and genuinely engaged from the moment you arrive sets the tone for everything that follows.
Interview tip 5
Many candidates underestimate the value of a well-timed follow-up after an interview. Sending a brief, professional email to thank the interviewer for their time shows courtesy, enthusiasm, and attention to detail.
Keep it concise, reference something specific from the conversation to make it personal, and reiterate your interest in the role. If you are working with a recruiter, give them prompt and honest feedback so they can represent you effectively.
Following up also keeps you front of mind during the decision-making process, particularly when the choice comes down to two strong candidates who are otherwise equally matched.

Example content using FAQs
FAQ 1
The honest answer is that it varies enormously depending on your sector, seniority, location, and the current state of the job market. For most professionals, an active job search takes anywhere from four weeks to six months.
Senior or highly specialised roles can take longer simply because there are fewer vacancies and the hiring process tends to involve more stages.
The best way to shorten the timeline is to be proactive, keep your CV updated, engage with a specialist recruiter in your field, and apply for roles that are a genuine match for your experience rather than casting too wide a net.
FAQ 2
In most cases, no. Until you have a firm offer in writing, it is wise to keep your job search confidential.
Telling your employer too early can create tension, affect your day-to-day working relationships, and in some cases put your current position at risk. If you are working with a recruiter, make clear that your search is confidential and that your CV should not be sent anywhere without your permission.
Once you have accepted an offer and are ready to hand in your notice, that is the right time to have the conversation with your employer.
FAQ 3
A strong CV is clear, concise, and tailored to the roles you are applying for. It should lead with a short personal profile that summarises your experience and what you are looking for, followed by your employment history in reverse chronological order, with each role showing not just what you did but what you achieved.
Keep it to two pages, use a clean and readable format, and check carefully for spelling and grammar errors. If you are not getting responses to applications, that is usually a sign your CV needs attention.
A good recruiter will always give you honest feedback and help you improve it.
FAQ 4
Absolutely. A specialist recruiter can give you access to roles that are never advertised publicly, provide honest advice on your market value, and guide you through the entire process from application to offer.
They work with hiring managers every day and understand exactly what employers in your sector are looking for. The best recruiters will also prepare you thoroughly for interviews, give you real feedback afterwards, and negotiate on your behalf at the offer stage.
Registering with an agency costs you nothing as a candidate and can significantly improve both the speed and quality of your job search.
