Why companies choose to work with us

  • Experienced Consultants

    Each of our consultants has a portfolio of clients they have built up throughout the years, having demonstrated their market knowledge and ability to deliver. Consultants have a functional and sector specialism, which means that they are well known and respected in the niche market in which they operate.

    We know that market knowledge takes time to develop and have witnessed high staff turnover in many of our competitors resulting in a negative impact on performance. We pride ourselves on our staff retention and the continuity we offer our clients.

  • Network of Candidates

    We appreciate that in working with you as a recruitment partner or candidate we must do so with utmost confidentiality, finding the right balance between detail, rigour, discretion, quality of advice, speed and delivery.

    When we recommend candidates, we do so with first hand confidence in their abilities and credentials.

    Having built up numerous successful relationships spanning over a decade, we are well placed to pro-actively approach potential candidates discreetly while also understanding candidate motivations and long term ambitions.

    We identify high calibre candidates with extremely sought-after niche skills across a global network who may not yet have considered a career move.

  • Consultative Approach

    We really do consider ourselves a partner to our clients, understanding the differences of each one. It is this understanding, in addition to the solemnity with which we manage these relationships that ensures we work with each client in a unique & distinctive way.
