Recruitment with the risk taken out.
A deeper pool, a longer guarantee and a fee only on success — so a permanent hire is a safer bet than a traditional agency.
3-month replacement guarantee
If a permanent hire doesn't work out in the first three months, we find and place a replacement at no extra cost. You carry none of the re-hire risk.
A 30,000-strong pool, plus LinkedIn
We don't start from a cold job board. We match your brief against a deep, pre-vetted talent pool and the wider LinkedIn market, so a shortlist lands in days.
You pay on a successful hire
No retainer, no upfront search fee. You pay a placement fee only when a candidate you choose starts — and it's a one-off, not a monthly cost.
From brief to a guaranteed hire, in days.
You brief us
Tell us the role, must-have skills, seniority and budget. A 15-minute call is enough to start.
We source & shortlist
We match your brief against our 30,000-strong pool and LinkedIn, screen, and send a shortlist in days.
You interview
Meet your shortlisted candidates. You run the interviews and choose who to hire.
They start, guaranteed
Your new hire joins your payroll. If they don't work out in three months, we replace them free.

Recruitment is for roles you want on your own payroll permanently. If you'd rather bring someone in without the commitment — and keep the option to make them permanent later — our Dedicated Engineers model lets you do exactly that, with us as the employer.
And because we also run white-label helpdesks and onsite support for MSPs, we understand the roles we recruit for from the inside.
