1. Briefing
Everything starts with a proper conversation. Not a form or a job description handed over by email. A real discussion about what the role needs to achieve, why it matters, what the team looks like, what success looks like in the first twelve months and what might put the right candidates off.
We ask the questions most recruiters skip. The answers shape everything that follows.
2. Research and Market Mapping
Before we approach anyone we map the market. That means identifying where the right candidates are likely to be, what they are probably earning, what would make them consider a move and how your opportunity compares to others they might be weighing up.
If your salary is out of step with the market or your job description will put the right people off, we will tell you before we go any further.
3. Outreach and Candidate Engagement
We reach out directly to the candidates most likely to fit. Not a bulk message. A considered, personalised approach that positions your opportunity in a way that is relevant to that specific person.
Most of the strongest candidates are not actively looking. That is why direct outreach matters more than advertising alone.
4. Steering and Progress Update
We keep you informed throughout. That means sharing what we are hearing in the market, what candidates are saying about the role and whether anything needs adjusting before we progress.
If the market is telling us something you need to know, you will hear it from us promptly rather than at the end of a failed search.
5. Longlist and Assessment
We present a considered longlist of candidates who have been properly assessed against the brief. That means evaluating not just technical capability but motivation, expectations, cultural fit and whether this role makes genuine sense for them at this point in their career.
Every candidate on the longlist is someone we would genuinely stand behind.
6. Shortlist, Offer and Beyond
Shortlisted candidates are fully briefed on the process, prepared for interview and kept engaged throughout. When an offer is made we support both sides through negotiation, manage any counteroffer risk and stay close until your new hire is through the door and settled in.
We check in at Day 1, Week 1 and at one, three, six and twelve months. Because a good hire should still be a good hire a year later.
