01
Brief
A genuine 60–90 minute briefing conversation. We push back where the brief is wrong on salary, seniority, or scope.

Four steps,
six to ten weeks.
The realistic timeline from initial brief to offer is eight to ten weeks for a director or VP-level role, with one to two weeks for the strongest shortlists at mid level. We will not promise faster than that.
02
Search
Mostly outbound — named candidates at named firms, approached in confidence. No mid-level roles see a registered candidate database.
03
Shortlist
Three to five candidates, each spoken to at length, each genuinely interested. Written shortlist with our notes.
04
Interview & offer
We coordinate scheduling, prep candidates, debrief after every round, and manage the offer conversation.
Two ways to engage us. The right one depends on the brief.
We will recommend the right model for each brief honestly, matching the engagement to the role and the urgency.
TALK TO USContingent Permanent
Direct hire recruitment for permanent Sales & Marketing roles across the UK. We handle sourcing, screening and placement, so you can focus on onboarding your new team member.
Temporary & Contract
Short-term and contract staffing for Sales & Marketing professionals. Ideal when you need flexibility, cover for absence, or specialist expertise on a project basis.
A few principles, held seriously.
Sector specialists, not generalists
Every brief is handled by a consultant with material experience in Sales & Marketing. The briefing conversation is different.
Honest pushback when it's needed
If the salary band is wrong, the seniority is wrong, or the role is harder than you think, we will say so during the briefing call.
Real shortlists, not volume
Three to five candidates, each spoken to at length, each genuinely interested. No bulk-emailed CVs.
The same consultant, start to finish
The partner who takes your brief is the partner who runs your shortlist and your offer conversation. No researcher tier, no junior handoff.
Replacement guarantees we mean
12 weeks on contingent, 26 weeks on retained. If a candidate leaves within the guarantee period for almost any reason, we re-run the search at no further fee.
What people say
"
They shortlist faster than anyone else we use, and the candidates are noticeably better briefed. The first phone call already feels like they understand the business.
"
After three retained searches, we now think of them as an extension of our leadership team. They tell us honestly when a brief is wrong, and that has saved us from at least one bad hire.

I'd been at the same firm for nine years and was nervous about moving. My consultant talked me through three roles, was honest about the trade-offs, and the role I took has been exactly what was described.
