We help people find work that fits, and help teams hire people who stay.

At a glance

A specialist, mid-sized recruitment consultancy that places permanent and contract people from Manchester and London. No theatrics. Just straight answers and people who stay.

What we stand by

Four promises we can actually keep

Salary first

Every role shows a band. We tell candidates the number before anything else.

One named person

The consultant on the advert runs the search from brief to offer.

Say no when it’s right

We’d rather lose a fee than place someone in the wrong role.

Measured on retention

We track how many placements are still in post a year later.
