Permanent recruitment solutions
A partnership-led approach to permanent recruitment
Permanent recruitment is about more than filling a vacancy. The right appointment can strengthen your team, support your organisational priorities and make a lasting difference to the way your organisation performs.
Every permanent hire comes with different considerations, from candidate availability and salary expectations to role positioning, timescales and long-term fit. We work in partnership with employers to understand these factors from the outset, helping you attract and appoint people with the right skills, experience and approach for the role, the team and the organisation.
Why employers trust us
Specialist market knowledge
Your permanent recruitment campaign will be led by Consultants who specialise in defined markets, sectors and regions. This gives you credible insight into candidate availability, salary expectations, role positioning and wider market conditions, helping you approach the search with a realistic and informed strategy.
Engaging the wider candidate market
We have established relationships with active and passive candidates across our specialist markets, built through ongoing conversations, referrals and previous recruitment activity. This means we can approach relevant people as soon as a permanent role comes in, rather than relying only on advert response.
Ongoing support and engagement
Permanent recruitment can lose momentum if the end-to-end process is not managed carefully. We manage and guide clients and candidates through interview, feedback, offer negotiation, counter offers and post-offer engagement, helping to maintain interest and reduce risk before the start date.

Role brief and market insight
We work with you to fully understand the role, team, salary, location, working pattern, timescales and recruitment process. This gives us the insight needed to advise on the market, challenge the brief where needed and agree the most effective attraction strategy.
Candidate attraction
We promote your opportunity through targeted advertising, our website, social media, referrals, established candidate networks and talent pools. This helps position the role effectively and reach candidates across our specialist markets.
Targeted search
For specialist or hard-to-fill permanent roles, we use market mapping, headhunting and direct engagement to reach candidates who may not be actively looking. This helps broaden the search and gives you access to a more relevant candidate market.
Selection and shortlist
Candidates are assessed by specialist Consultants against the agreed requirements, including experience, motivations, salary expectations, notice period and suitability for the role. We provide a focused shortlist with clear insight to support confident decision-making.
Interview and feedback
We support interview arrangements, candidate preparation and feedback throughout the process. This keeps both clients and candidates informed, engaged and clear on next steps, helping to maintain momentum.
Offer and post-offer engagement
We support offer negotiation, counter offers and communication through notice periods and onboarding. Your Consultant stays close to both client and candidate to maintain engagement and reduce the risk of issues before the start date.
Our permanent recruitment process
Finding the right permanent candidate, not just the best available candidate, requires a structured, multi-channelled approach.
We work with you to shape the process around your role, market and hiring priorities, from attraction and search through to offer and post-offer engagement.
