For employers building a stable team
Permanent recruitment
A good permanent hire changes the feel of a service. We help you find people with the right skills and the right values, and we are honest about the market so you can make decisions with confidence.
The service
What it involves
We start with a conversation about the role, your team and the culture of your service, not just the job description.
We search, screen and interview candidates before introducing them, and we only put forward people we would be comfortable seeing in your service.
We stay involved through interviews, offers and pre-employment checks, keeping both sides informed.
How it works
Four clear steps
Understand the role
We agree the role profile, salary range, working pattern and what success looks like.
Search and screen
We approach and assess candidates, checking experience, registration and motivation.
Shortlist and interview
You receive a focused shortlist with our honest notes, and we arrange interviews around you.
Offer and onboarding
We support the offer stage and keep in touch with both parties through the first weeks.
