The average cost of a bad hire is up to 30% of the employee’s first-year earnings. But it’s not just the cost of recruitment, training and performance managing them. This number doesn’t measure the impact on the culture, the client, and the team around them. It can be a very toxic situation for all involved.

We will map the market and tap the shoulders in an end-to-end process, engaging top talent and  consulting with you to find the best match for your needs. This recruitment process is grounded in a strong competency framework throughout with competency-based interviewing processes and in-house psychometrics to give you more assurance around who you hire.

We value psychometrics in any rigorous recruitment process. In 2021 we chose to become Hogan certified through the team at Winsborough. We have used a lot of assessments over the years but what we love about Hogan’s is that it is not a self-assessment tool, rather it predicts personality from the outside- how others see you.

The Hogan assessments holistically assess individuals’ personality and identify strengths and weaknesses, underlying values, and motivators, and even career “derailers” and the proclaimed “dark side” of personality. As a certified assessor, we can offer our clients a very affordable but effective tool inhouse to add to the evaluation process. If getting the right person and team fit is important to you, this is a no brainer.

If you need a short-term resource, we can tap into our networks to find talent solutions for your business.  We use the same recruitment methodologies to tap into the right people for your project without charging crazy margins but instead offering fair pricing to fit with the needs of your business.

Clients often ask us to assess their internal talent alongside externals or as a stand-alone process. Internals and externals are taken through the same structured BEI interview and given interview and career development feedback (written or verbal). This has been of great value to the internal candidates whilst equally allowing objectivity in a decision process for clients. Benchmarking your internals can add to your understanding of your team, challenge your thinking, and assist with developmental planning. 



We have worked with small businesses and owner operators throughout our careers. We get the passion, the enthusiasm and talent it takes to start a successful business and we know how important it is to get the culture fit right. We can work with you and your budget to consult around your recruitment needs, from managing just a piece of the process to taking the entire process from your hands, allowing you to get back to what you love.  We can offer hourly rate recruitment support, mailbox processes, internal recruitment through to a full end to end process. Whether you are small or large or just budget conscious, talk to us and we can decide up front a model to fit your needs.

Flat Or Capped Fees:

Does the percentage model work for you? Why should you pay more for a role because the salary is higher? Some of the most challenging assignments are the engine room roles. The process is the same so why are you paying more? We can offer clients flat or capped fees to allow for increasing market salaries with talent shortages. Our clients pay for the work they have agreed on with no surprises at the end.

Hourly Rate Recruitment and Project fees

If a full recruitment fee is outside the budget, why not hand over part of it, or have the entire process managed for an hourly rate or agreed project fee. Hand it over to a specialist who has the systems and experience to protect your brand, responding and managing candidates with care.
