We’re excited to partner with you and find the perfect candidate to help your business thrive!

Our 12-month Full Replacement Guarantee is offered for all vacancies where you have selected the Wraparound Recruitment Service where the fee is 20% of the salary.

We understand that hiring for these positions carries a higher investment and, therefore, a higher risk, so we offer this extended guarantee to give you peace of mind. We believe that a recruiter’s job is only truly successful if your investment results in a meaningful, long-term hire.

Standard industry guarantees, like 12-week rebates or refunds, simply don’t provide enough time to determine if a new employee is a good fit.

We’re committed to going above and beyond to support you throughout the first year of your new hire’s employment.

Our 12-month Full Replacement Guarantee means that if your new employee leaves or doesn’t work out within the first year, we’ll find you a replacement at no additional cost.

To ensure fairness and shared risk, this guarantee is contingent upon all invoices being paid on time.

The time it takes to find your ideal candidate varies depending on a few factors:

• The Service You Choose: Our Low-Cost Flat-Fee Recruitment Service is typically faster than the Wraparound Premium Recruitment Service due to its streamlined approach.
• The Complexity of Your Needs: Specialised roles or those with unique requirements may take longer to fill.
• Market Conditions: The availability of qualified candidates in your industry and location can also impact the timeline.

In some cases, we can have a new employee starting on your team within 21 days of engagement! However, it’s important to be realistic and understand that some searches can a few months, especially for highly specialised or senior roles.

Rest assured, we’ll keep you updated throughout the process and work diligently to find the right fit for your company as quickly as possible.

We specialise in working with small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs), rather than focusing on specific industries.

Our goal is to support companies at various stages of growth:

• Micro-companies: Founder-led businesses seeking affordable recruitment support to fuel their growth. Our Low-Cost Flat-Fee Recruitment service is ideal for this niche.

• Growing companies and scale-ups: Whether experiencing organic growth or backed by venture capital, these businesses benefit from our retained service.

• Small companies (10-100 employees): These companies often find our Wraparound Premium Full Service most suitable, as they value our recruitment and retention expertise.

• Start-ups: We offer workshops, training courses, and webinars specifically tailored for UK start-ups. Our Low-Cost Flat-Fee service also includes a bursary for companies with 10 or fewer employees, ensuring that cost isn’t a barrier to expert recruitment support.

• UK to US expansion: We have a proven track record of helping UK companies successfully hire in the USA.

• US into the UK and Europe: We also assist US-based companies expanding into the UK and European markets.

Our founder, Helen, has been recognised by both the BIPC at the British Library and Virgin StartUp for her expertise in supporting start-ups, scale-ups, and VC-funded companies.

We don’t work with large corporations, as there are plenty of traditional recruiters catering to their needs. Our focus is on empowering smaller businesses with tailored recruitment solutions.

We’re passionate about supporting business owners as they expand their teams.

In fact, we have several options to help you hire your first employee:

1. Fractional PeopleOps service: This is perfect for new hiring managers who want expert guidance throughout the entire process. We’ll handle everything from creating a job description to onboarding your new hire including all HR strategy development and implementation within our business.

Get in touch to discuss your options and take the first step towards building your dream team!

Absolutely! We’re here to support you throughout your new employee’s journey, especially if challenges arise.

We understand that the real test begins after the honeymoon period, and we want to help you navigate any potential “danger zones.” Our goal is to minimize your risk and ensure a successful integration for your new team member.

Here’s how we’ll support you:

• Full Onboarding Plan: You’ll receive a proven plan to follow, designed to reduce the risk of a poor hire and ensure a smooth transition.
• Ask Me Anything (AMA) Calls: Join our group calls to ask questions, share concerns, and learn from other business owners facing similar challenges. You’ll also have access to recordings of previous calls for additional insights.
• Employee Support Hotline: Your new employee will have direct access to our team for confidential support and guidance during their transition. We understand that changing jobs can be stressful, and we’re here to make the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved.

We’re committed to being more than just a recruitment agency. We’re your partners in building a thriving team, and that means being there for you even after the hiring process is complete.

Yes, we can provide contract templates and a staff handbook that you can tailor to your specific needs.

We also have a network of trusted HR partners who can offer additional support and guidance on more complex matters.

No, we don’t offer contingency recruitment.

This model, where a recruiter only gets paid if they successfully fill a role, doesn’t align with our approach. We prioritize quality over quantity and focus on building long-term partnerships with our clients.

Our fees, including the £1,000 + VAT engagement fee for the Wraparound Premium Recruitment service, are non-refundable. This is because we invest significant time and resources upfront to understand your needs, develop a tailored recruitment strategy, and begin sourcing candidates.

We don’t take on companies or vacancies that we don’t believe we can successfully fill, based on our extensive experience in hiring for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and a wide range of positions.

We understand that our model might not be the right fit for everyone. If you’re looking for a more traditional contingency recruitment agency, we’ve curated a list of reputable options that you can consider.

We focus our expertise on helping small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) achieve their recruitment goals. Companies with over 100 employees typically have established internal resources and processes for recruitment, so our services are best suited for smaller organisations.

Additionally, we value positive working relationships and prioritise ethical business practices.

We’re selective about the companies we partner with and prefer to avoid those with a reputation for mistreating their staff or have a high staff turnover (although we do partner with an HR expert who can help you reduce the turnover and then you can partner wiht us to grow).

To ensure a good fit for everyone involved, we may ask your current employees for feedback about their experience working at your company.

We believe in making a positive impact on both the businesses we serve and the candidates we place.

By focusing on smaller organisations and fostering a positive work environment, we can contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling workplace culture for everyone.
