Our services

Four ways we place senior people.

From a single permanent hire to a confidential board appointment — every mandate is run by one senior consultant, start to finish. No junior screeners, no databases dressed up as a shortlist. Always free for candidates.

01 / 04 — Flagship, ~64% of our work

Permanent Placement

Our flagship service and the heart of the firm: direct, permanent hires for roles from £45,000 to £250,000+, filled at a median of 28 days, with 86% of placements still in role at 18 months. Always free for candidates.

What's included

  • A full brief with the hiring manager and an agreed success profile.
  • Market mapping across advertised and hidden talent.
  • A shortlist of three to five referenced, genuinely qualified candidates.
  • Interview coordination, feedback management and offer handling.
  • A tapered rebate and free replacement search if a hire leaves within 12 weeks.

Who it's for

Employers making a permanent white-collar hire — from financial controllers and senior engineers to heads of function and directors — who want a short, reliable shortlist rather than a flood of CVs.

Pricing. Permanent: a percentage of first-year salary, charged on a success basis — you pay when your hire signs, not before. Terms confirmed in writing before we begin.
02 / 04 — Day-rate specialists

Interim & Contract

Experienced interim leaders and day-rate specialists, mobilised in days for 3–18 month engagements. Cover a gap, steady a function, or drive a specific piece of change.

What's included

  • Access to a vetted network of available interim professionals.
  • Rapid mobilisation — often a shortlist within days, not weeks.
  • Day-rate benchmarking so you know you're paying the market.
  • IR35 and contract status handled cleanly and compliantly.
  • Ongoing check-ins through the engagement, not just at the start.

Who it's for

Employers who need senior capability at pace — maternity or notice-period cover, turnaround and transformation, systems implementations, or bridging to a permanent hire.

Pricing. Interim: a transparent margin on the agreed day rate, invoiced against timesheets. Rates and terms are agreed up front.
03 / 04 — Retained

Executive Search

Retained, discreet search for board and C-suite appointments. Mapped markets, referenced shortlists and genuine confidentiality — the process business-critical hires deserve.

What's included

  • A dedicated partner-led team and a committed search timeline.
  • Comprehensive market mapping and a full long-list before shortlist.
  • In-depth referencing and, where required, psychometric assessment.
  • Complete discretion — approaches made confidentially and off-market.
  • Support through appointment, onboarding and the first 100 days.

Who it's for

Boards, chairs and CEOs appointing managing directors, C-suite and non-executive directors — where the pool is small, the stakes are high, and discretion is essential.

Pricing. Executive search: retained, pricing on request. Fees are staged across the assignment and agreed in writing at the outset.
04 / 04 — Free for placed candidates

Career Coaching

One-to-one CV, interview and negotiation support — free to every candidate we place, from consultants who have sat on both sides of the table.

What's included

  • A candid CV review that positions your experience for the role.
  • Interview preparation, including likely questions and company context.
  • Offer and counter-offer strategy — so you negotiate from strength.
  • Honest advice on whether a move is right for you at all.
  • A relationship that continues well beyond your start date.

Who it's for

Candidates working with us on a live search. Coaching is part of how we place people well — never an upsell, never charged. Candidates never pay us a penny.
