Exclusive recruitment services
Exclusive when
discretion matters.
Some roles cannot be advertised. Some replacements cannot be discussed. Those searches are run quietly.
What this means in practice
On an exclusive mandate we work to your brief alone: a named consultant, an agreed search list, direct approaches rather than advertising, and reporting that stays between us.
It suits senior appointments, confidential replacements and roles where the market should not know you are hiring until the offer is signed.
Named consultant
One person owns the search end to end, and you always know who to call.
Direct approach
Targeted conversations with people already doing the work, not a public advertisement.
Confidential reporting
Progress shared with the people you nominate and nobody else.
Thorough assessment
Longer interviews, deeper referencing and a written view of fit as well as capability.
How we work
Four stages, then
nine documented steps.
Every requirement runs through the same process, from the demand paperwork to after-recruitment service.

Understand
We start with the real requirement — the role, the site, the timeline, the culture people will be joining.
02
Identify
We search deliberately across our networks to find people whose skills and intent genuinely match.
03
Verify
We assess suitability carefully: credentials, experience, documentation and readiness to move.
04
Connect
We bring both sides together and stay involved through mobilisation and the first months on the job.

Questions
Exclusive recruitment services
in short.
Will our name be disclosed during the search?
Only when you agree. Early conversations can be held anonymously, with your identity released at shortlist stage.
How long does an exclusive search take?
Typically six to ten weeks to shortlist, depending on the seniority and how narrow the pool is.
What if the person we hire does not stay?
The guarantee period is agreed in writing before the search begins, and we honour it.
