Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG WILL A SEARCH TAKE?

We limit the number of assignments we take on at any given time to allow us to provide a shortlist in 1 to 2 weeks, with a typical vacancy closing (accepted offer) in 3 to 4 weeks.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

We like to reward clients who commit to working with us with an cost effective solution that is usually lower than a Traditional Contingent Recruitment Service. We can offer a fixed fee or percentage of salary structure.

ISN’T A SEARCH ONLY SUITABLE FOR VERY SENIOR ROLES?

We find that a Search is effective for Senior, Mid-Level and Specialist roles. If you want to have the choice of passive AND active candidates then a Search is the only way to achieve that balance.

A Search is also an obvious choice if your vacancy needs to be handled with a high degree of confidentiality.

WHY SHOULD I COMMIT TO ONLY ONE AGENCY?

By working exclusively with one agency you are entering a partnership that will ensure that your vacancy is treated as an absolute priority. You commitment will allow us to spend extensive time and effort searching every corner of the market, only presenting the very best candidates for your role.
