Strategic Retained Recruitment
We operate on an exclusive, fixed-fee retained recruitment model - meaning we partner with you from the outset to manage the full end-to-end hiring permanent recruitment process with priority focus and accountability.
Our recruitment investment is tailored to the remuneration level and complexity of each role.
Unlike traditional recruitment agencies operating on a contingent basis, our retained permanent recruitment model allows us to invest time upfront in understanding your business, benchmarking the market accurately and securing the right long-term hire - not simply the fastest placement.
Every permanent recruitment engagement includes:
- Position description design or refinement
- Employer branding and targeted advertising strategy
- Salary benchmarking and market advice
- Structured shortlisting and interviews
- Reference checks (up to three shortlisted candidates)
- Employment contract preparation using your existing compliant template. Where a new contract template is required, this will be quoted separately.
- Offer negotiation and onboarding support
- 30-day replacement guarantee
Recruitment investment is provided upon consultation and reflects the seniority, remuneration and complexity of the role.
We believe in transparent communication and will always outline inclusions and any additional advertising or testing requirements before commencing.
