Services we offer

Assistance with job descriptions

Writing an advert can feel like you’re wading in the dark, but our recruitment team know how to pen the job description in such a way it compels the top candidates to apply. We can suggest power words and perks to attract quality applications and deter unsuitable matches.

Interview prep

Holding interviews can be daunting when you’re not used to doing them often. We will advise on the best questions to ask to elicit an honest, authentic reaction and show you what to look out for as red flags – or green lights – so you can trust your own judgement when making an offer.

Executive Search and Headhunting

The best candidates are not actively looking – they’re already in a job getting a great salary and not thinking about moving on. That’s where we come into our own. We source the candidates that are comfortable in roles and entice them with a better offer – yours.

Salary advice

To attract the most competitive candidates – especially those already in jobs – your remuneration package and benefits should reflect what they are worth to you and the market as a whole. We keep you in the know about what your competitors are paying so you can feel confident your offer stands up.

The administrative part of your recruitment takes away a lot of time from your day-to-day job and may not always be straightforward. Let us take this off your plate so you can make preparations to welcome your new starter to the team instead.
