Most recruitment puts the risk on you. You brief an agency, you wait, and if nothing comes of it you've lost weeks and you're no nearer to hiring. The agency has lost an afternoon.

Nobody can hand those weeks back. What our terms can do is make sure the weeks are the only thing you lose.

You only pay when your hire actually starts.
No retainer, no upfront fee, nothing at all until the right person is in the building. If we don't find them, we don't get paid. Every role we take on works that way. Always has.

Every placement comes with a three-month replacement and rebate guarantee.
Hiring is a big spend and now and again it goes wrong. If it goes wrong in the first three months, putting it right is our problem, not yours to swallow.

The fee we quote is the fee you pay.
Agreed before we start. If you end up stretching the salary to land the person you want, our fee stays where it was. No percentage quietly climbing with the offer.

Why we can afford to work this way

Because it usually comes off. Across our business:

• 79% of the roles we take on, we fill
• 95% of the people we place are still there 18 months later
• 92% of our clients come back to us for their next hire

Those cover the whole business, every division, and every kind of role. Not one team having a good year.

What it looks like when a role is hard

The easy jobs don't test any of this. The awkward ones do.

We had a technical sales role earlier this year that took three goes at the advert before it landed. Those first two adverts cost us a fortnight of work between them and earned us nothing at all.

That is what paying on results means once you get past the slogan. When a role isn't working, the cost of going again lands on us, so we're the ones with a reason to keep going.

And that matters, because there's an easier option sitting there. We could come back and tell you the salary is wrong, or the location is impossible, or the market is empty. Sometimes one of those is true, and when it is we'll say so. But reaching for it the moment something underperforms hands the problem back to you and quietly lets us off the hook. You've still got the vacancy.

Sticking with a role that isn't working is also why 79% is our number rather than something prettier. It counts every role we agreed to take on, including the ones that beat us in the end. An agency quoting you a figure in the high nineties isn't necessarily better at this. It may just be counting a smaller, easier set of roles.

So ask what's inside the number. Ask it of us too.

The next step doesn't cost anything

Tell us about the role. One conversation, no obligation, and if we don't think we're right for it we'll say so on the call rather than three weeks in.

Worst case you come off the phone with a clearer view of what your sales vacancy is really asking for, whether you use us or not.

Got one open now? Tell us about it here. Nothing to pay unless it works out.
