Why London employers choose us

A London recruitment partner, not a CV pipe.

We built the firm around what London hiring managers were missing from mainstream recruitment: genuine sector fluency across the capital’s twelve professional disciplines, credential rigour, honest package advice, and one accountable consultant on every brief from intake through onboarding follow-up.

i. London-fluent

We know the market street by street

City, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, Mayfair, Westminster, the West End. Every consultant knows the sector-specific London employer landscape they recruit for.

ii. Credential rigour

Every qualification verified before shortlist

Chartered status, professional-body membership, right-to-work paperwork, references. Every step done before the CV lands on your desk.

iii. Ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates, with our notes

Not a stack of unfiltered CVs. Three to five London-appropriate candidates ranked, credential-checked, package and notice-period confirmed, with our written notes on each.

iv. One consultant

End to end, from intake to onboarding

The consultant who took the brief runs the search, closes the offer and calls at day thirty and day ninety. No handover between desks.

v. Honest package advice

We tell you if the band is light for London

London salary bands run above the national market. If a package is light for the role and the postcode, we say so on the first call before the search stalls.

vi. Replacement guarantee

We stand behind every placement

Every permanent placement carries a written guarantee. If the hire leaves inside the window for reasons that trace back to the search, we re-run the search at no additional fee.

Frequently asked

What London employers ask us first.

What sectors do you cover?

Twelve professional sectors across the London market: finance and accountancy, legal, HR and people, sales and business development, marketing and communications, IT and digital, fintech, property and real estate, media and publishing, life sciences, professional services, and executive search.

Do you cover all of London or specific zones?

Zone 1 and Zone 2 professional employers are our core, with active networks across the City, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, Mayfair, Westminster, the West End, and the wider M25 corridor and Home Counties for senior appointments.

How fast is a shortlist?

Standard turnaround is ten to fifteen working days from signed brief to ranked shortlist of three to five candidates. Urgent City-critical or PE-portfolio briefs can be prioritised on request.

Is there a replacement guarantee?

Yes. Every permanent placement carries a written replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves inside the guarantee window for reasons that trace back to the search, we re-run the search at no additional fee.

How is the fee structured?

Standard percentage of first-year package for the majority of placements. Retained fee structure for executive search and specialist senior appointments. Both quoted on the intake call, in GBP, with no hidden fees.

Do you handle right-to-work and reference checks?

Every candidate on our shortlist has right-to-work verified, at least two independent references contacted, and professional-body membership confirmed against the issuing body before introduction.
