Discuss Our Exclusive Process

Supporting your objectives

Our Exclusive Permanent Placements service is the solution. By working on a committed, exclusive basis, we guarantee your role receives dedicated, prioritised resources from our specialist consultants. We proactively headhunt the best-performing specialists who aren't actively looking, ensuring you hire a high-impact professional, not just the best person actively on the market.

Guaranteed Priority & Dedicated Time
Your role becomes our priority. We commit focused consultant time to your search, ensuring a proactive and continuous headhunting process that standard contingent models can't match.
Access to Passive Specialist Talent
Top-tier managers are rarely active on job boards. Our exclusive process gives you access to our network of high-performing, passive specialists, ensuring you see candidates your competitors won't.
Higher Candidate Commitment
Our detailed, exclusive process builds significant trust and commitment with candidates. This results in a more engaged shortlist, smoother negotiations, and a dramatically reduced risk of last-minute offer rejections.
Faster, More Vetted Shortlists
Because we are dedicated to your search, we can map the market and vet candidates more thoroughly from day one. This results in a higher quality, more relevant shortlist delivered in a faster timeframe.
