Talent search:
finding the best talent on your behalf

If you have vacancies that you need to fill immediately, talent search is a genuine alternative to expensive recruitment agencies. We research the market and discover and hire the right individuals for specific roles.

Are you looking for a senior executive? Someone with specialist skills? Just finding it hard to fill a vacancy? We work closely alongside internal teams to find the right person for the role.

Benefits for your business

More cost-effective than recruitment agencies

Our services are costed according to the work we do, rather than a percentage of the salary package. We don’t charge placement fees either. This significantly reduces your costs and means you can fill more than one role from a search without paying extra.

Confidentially explore the market

There’s a reason that many of the case studies on the website are unnamed. If you want to recruit for sensitive roles, or you need to keep your activity confidential, our services help. We never share company names or other information without your consent and taking necessary steps to ensure confidentiality.

Insight as well as recruitment

As part of our work, we uncover a wealth of information which you perhaps wouldn’t discover yourselves. From honest feedback about your brand to competitor data and pay information, we make sure you have the necessary insight to make informed decisions about the future of talent in your business.

Our team bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to ensure that we find the best person for your business, whether they’re actively seeking a new role or not visible in the market.

How talent search can help your business

Talent search is a bespoke service, designed specifically to meet your needs. But here are a few ways in which it could help.

Filling senior roles

When an executive leaves the business, it is essential that the talent gap is filled quickly to minimise the business impact. However, it can be difficult to find people with the right experience and do so confidentially. 

Our service finds individuals who match your criteria and who may not be actively pursuing a new position. And because they are speaking to us directly, we’re able to maintain confidentiality and keep your business anonymous until the right stage in the process.

Finding specialists or hard-to-recruit individuals

When an executive leaves the business, it is essential that the talent gap is filled quickly to minimise the business impact. However, it can be difficult to find people with the right experience and do so confidentially. 

Our service finds individuals who match your criteria and who may not be actively pursuing a new position. And because they are speaking to us directly, we’re able to maintain confidentiality and keep your business anonymous until the right stage in the process.

Understanding the competitive landscape

We often get approached by companies who are struggling to fill roles. They may have an idea why – everything from company perception to salary and location may be causes. But without the right research, it can be difficult to know for sure.

Our insights undercover the key factors influencing your recruitment, allowing you make the right strategic changes to minimise these risks. This insight also allows us to understand candidates more fully, so we can focus on what’s important to them and ensure your role is filled.

Reaching candidates who aren't actively looking

The perfect person for your role may be working for a competitor and not actively seeking a new role. Approaching these individuals can be problematic. But because we are separate from your business, we can have those initial conversations.

Our research also uncovers individuals who may be perfect but are unknown to you and may not have applied through traditional means.
