FOR EMPLOYERS

Frequently Asked Questions

We operate with a boutique, high-touch approach. You work directly with an experienced specialist — not a call centre — ensuring personalised service, consistent communication, and candidates who are genuinely aligned with your culture and goals.

We use a multi-channel strategy that includes active headhunting, industry networks, targeted digital sourcing, referrals, and a curated internal database of pre-screened professionals. This allows us to deliver talent within 48 hours for most roles.

Yes. We specialise in difficult, specialised, and senior placements through targeted headhunting and deep market research — not generic job board submissions.

Every candidate goes through a structured process:
• Behavioural & competency interviews
• Employment verification
• Reference checks
• Role-specific screening
• Culture-fit assessment
Only candidates who meet your standards and your culture make it to your shortlist.

We offer a guarantee period (customisable per client). If the new hire leaves or doesn’t meet expectations within this period, we replace the candidate at no extra cost.

Yes. Whether you're building a team from scratch or scaling quickly, we tailor our recruitment approach to suit your size, budget, and growth stage.

We manage everything from shortlisting to interview arrangements, feedback coordination, offer negotiation, and onboarding support — ensuring a smooth experience for both client and candidate.

We have strong recruitment experience across:
Financial, Accounting, HR, Business Support, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Logistics — including niche roles and leadership positions.

We only require:
• Job description OR role outline
• Must-have qualifications/experience
• Salary range
• Work environment & culture notes
• Urgency and timeline
From there, we handle everything.

We invest time in understanding your company’s values, leadership style, and team dynamics. Our behavioural interviewing framework identifies personality traits, communication style, and working habits — ensuring every shortlisted candidate fits both the job and the environment.
