We don’t use forms or online tests. We meet each candidate for a coffee, or a Teams call if that’s easier, and talk about their career for as long as it takes.
Experience
What they’ve done and delivered, in their own words.
Role fit
How their background lines up with the roles we’re working on.
Working style
The kind of team and environment they do their best work in.
Goals
Where they want their career to go, and whether the role moves them forward.
We meet people before we put them forward, and
we stay in touch after they start.
Your shortlist comes with a Merit Profile
Instead of a pile of CVs, we send one page per candidate, written by the consultant who met them. It covers their experience, what they want, when they’re free, why they suit your role, and a personal note from us.
