Sector depth. Speed. Rigour.
Bold was founded in 2010 and has stayed small by choice. A tight team of specialists, each with years of hands-on experience in Sales & Marketing. We don't buy candidate lists or work from generic databases. We work the way specialist recruiters should — building real relationships, knowing the market, and telling you the truth when a brief needs rethinking. The result: shortlists that actually work, placements that stick, and a consultant who understands your business.

03
Quality shortlists
Three to five carefully selected candidates, each properly spoken to. No bulk CVs. No spray-and-pray.

We provide a 12-week replacement guarantee on contingent placements and 26 weeks on retained searches. We stand behind every placement we make.

Will I work with a specialist or a generalist recruiter?
Every brief at Bold is handled by a consultant who has worked in Sales & Marketing themselves, often for years before joining the team. You won't be passed to a generalist or someone working from a generic database.

Yes. We'll tell you when a brief is off, when the salary is wrong, or when a role is tougher to fill than expected. Straight talk saves time and leads to better outcomes.
