Permanent, contract or executive search – delivered by the brand that only works in your market.
Three ways to hire specialist talent.
Permanent
Specialist permanent hiring across every function, from senior individual contributors through to functional leadership. Delivered by consultants who work in one market and nothing else.
When it’s right:
- The role needs sector judgement, not a generic skill match
- You want one shortlist you can act on, not a stream of CVs
- You are hiring for where the business will be, not just where it is
What to expect
- Shortlisted candidates in under 48 hours
- An average time to fill of 29 days
- Live market and salary insight for the role
- Free replacement if the hire does not work out
Contract
Interim and contract specialists who integrate with your team for a defined period. Project delivery, ramp-up, cover and capability gaps.
When it’s right:
- The work has an end date, or the headcount does not exist yet
- You need capability in place in weeks, not quarters
- You want to scale back down without a restructure
What to expect
- Vetted specialists ready to start
- Compliance and payroll administration handled
- Engagement lengths that flex with the project
- The option to convert to permanent later
Executive search
Retained search for board, C-suite and VP appointments, run on our Future Leaders Network. A different discipline to permanent and contract hiring: fewer roles, higher stakes, and a process built around the decision.
When it’s right:
- The appointment changes the trajectory of the business
- The people you want are not looking and will not apply
- The decision has to stand up to a board
What to expect
- The market mapped before you brief us
- Warm access through relationships built over years
- Structured assessment and independent referencing
- Offer management and onboarding support
The Future Leaders Network is how we know a market before you brief us. Each brand identifies people early in their careers and stays close as they rise, so by the time a mandate lands the search has effectively been running for years.
How we engage
Your brand will recommend the right commercial model when you talk to them.
- Contingent – spot placements, paid on success, no upfront commitment.
- Partnership – dedicated resource and priority delivery, cost spread monthly, guaranteed.
- Contract-to-hire – contract first, with the option to convert to permanent.
- Staff augmentation – a specialist team alongside yours through a growth or ramp-down phase.
- Contract staffing – fixed-term specialists for a defined project.
