Partnerships

We start with what is driving your growth plan and the obstacles in the way, then build the team around it.

How we engage

How we engage depends on how critical the hire is and how much of the market needs covering. Every search is led by a micro-specialist consultant who works your market every day, so the conversation starts at the level of the role.

Questions clients ask

Do you only recruit for data centers and mission critical work?

No. Much of our work is mission critical, but we recruit across commercial and mixed-use, healthcare and life sciences, aviation, education, industrial, residential and hospitality, water treatment, battery storage, substations, T&D and manufacturing.

Are you a specialist or a generalist firm?

A specialist. Every consultant is a micro-specialist in the markets they recruit for, so the person running your search already knows the market.

What is the difference between exclusive and retained?

Exclusive means committing the role to us, with fees only payable on a successful placement. Retained is a firm commitment on both sides, with a defined timeline, a fixed cost and market research included, and carries a 100% retention rate after 12 months.
