Frequently asked questions
What employers and candidates ask us most.
For employers
How do we start a search with you?
Tell us about the role on the Start hiring page. We read your brief and reply with a time for a consultation call. We agree the requirements and the fee with you before the search starts.
What do you check before we see a candidate?
Three things: technical skill, problem-solving and cultural alignment. Assessments and interviews confirm the candidate can do the work at the level your role needs, we look at how they think through real situations, and we look for people who share the culture and values you describe in the first call.
What is a fitment note?
A short written note that comes with every candidate we recommend. It gives our reasons for why this person suits the role and your team.
How quickly will we see candidates?
It depends on the role. We agree a timeline with you in the consultation call.
What does it cost?
We agree the fee in writing before the search begins, so there are no surprises later. Send us the role and we will share a quote.
Which industries do you hire for?
Our deepest experience is with IT services and SaaS companies, and we also work in several other sectors. See the industries we hire for. We take a search when we know we can do it well, and say so when we cannot.
How does a search run?
In four steps: consultation, talent sourcing, screening and interviews, then placement and onboarding. Services and our process describes each step and what you get from it.
