The right results

While we adapt our approach to suit every business we work with, we always stay collaborative, friendly, practical, and focused on results.

No generic solutions

We’ll ask questions, make sure we understand what’s needed, offer honest advice and challenge the brief if we think it will lead to a better outcome. We’re not here to tick boxes – we’re here to find the right people who not only fit the role but also your culture and values.

We’re thorough, but when it’s urgent, we move quickly – without cutting corners or compromising on quality. We’ll represent your brand with care and consistency, managing communication and feedback at every stage. Getting it right reflects on you as much as it does on us.

We will:

  • Adapt our approach to suit your requirements
  • Represent your employer brand professionally

  • Follow a one-size-fits-all recruitment process
  • Introduce candidates we haven’t personally interviewed and assessed

Some very compelling reasons

Some very compelling reasons

Choose carefully

We understand it’s not always an easy decision to choose a recruiter – especially when the success of your business hinges on the people you employ. Poor hiring costs more than just money. It can set your team back, drain time and take focus away from what really matters.

Perfect fit

That’s why our approach is different. We don’t chase volume or send over a stack of CVs just to hit numbers. We get under the skin of every role and every business we work with, so we know exactly what, and who, we’re looking for. Then we do the hard work to find people we genuinely believe will be right for your business.

No placement, no fee

You won’t pay a penny until we’ve placed someone and they’ve started working with you. We work on a success-only basis, because we believe that’s how recruitment should be: low risk, high trust and based on results.

Expertise

What you’re paying for once the placement is made is our experience, our judgement and our ability to take the whole process off your hands and do it properly. Every placement comes with a guarantee, too. It’s rarely needed, but it’s there just in case life throws a curve ball and something changes.

If you’re weighing up whether to use a recruitment agency, it might help to ask yourself:

  • Do you know exactly what kind of candidate you’re looking for?
  • Are you confident you’ll attract the right people through advertising alone – and have you factored in the cost?
  • Do you have time to review CVs, arrange interviews and manage the whole communication and feedback process? (Vital, to protect your employer brand).
  • Are you, or anyone in your business, experienced at interviewing?
  • What’s the cost to your business if the wrong person is hired?

There’s a lot to gain by working with people who know how to recruit properly and an agency that lives up to what it promises. So to help you make your decision, you may find our blog helpful:

FAQs for Employers

We’ve answered some of the most common questions from employers about hiring across Surrey and Sussex. If you have something more specific in mind, we’re just a call or message away and we’re always happy to help.

While some organisations choose to keep their recruitment processes fully in-house, increasingly more employers are choosing a specialised, expert recruitment agency to find the right talent and build a successful team. From saving time to accessing the best talent, using a recruitment agency is key in the hiring process.

Not sure whether a recruitment agency will benefit your business? Here are 10 reasons why utilising the expertise of an agency could make finding your next candidate a lot easier.

Recruitment agencies work with clients (companies) to find them the right staff to build a successful business and work with candidates (job seekers) to find them their next ideal position or career move. They will be specialists within their fields and are there to help both parties find their ideal match by using their experience, industry knowledge, established connections and market awareness.

From thorough interviewing, skills-testing, and sharing market knowledge, to managing payroll, skills training, salary benchmarking, and offering career advice, recruitment agencies can offer a variety of services to clients and candidates and will tailor their approach to suit the specific requirements of both.

Recruitment agencies, also known as recruitment consultancies or employment agencies, work on businesses’ behalf to find the right candidates when they are seeking to fill a job within their company or increase headcount. Additionally, some agencies may be able to supply temporary or contract workers, who are employed and managed by the agency, but work onsite for a business.

Recruitment agencies act as intermediaries between employers and job seekers, sourcing talent, screening candidates, and matching them to appropriate roles based on the employers’ requirements.

Additionally, they work on behalf of candidates to find suitable positions in the right companies, offering guidance and support throughout the job search process. Recruitment agencies offer valuable expertise in navigating the hiring process, saving time and resources for both employers and candidates.
