Our hiring process
A clear, written process for every role: we understand the brief first, screen properly and stay involved until your new hire has joined.
Process steps
-
Step 1: Understand the role
A briefing call on the role, team, culture, must-have skills, budget band, location or work mode and your interview process. We confirm the brief in writing before sourcing starts.
-
Step 2: Search and source
Recruiters who know the domain search job boards, professional networks and referrals, and approach people who are not actively applying.
-
Step 3: Screen
Functional and behavioural screening, plus checks on notice period, location, expectations and genuine interest, so you interview fewer, better-fit candidates.
-
Step 4: Shortlist
You receive a short list of screened profiles with a summary for each. We share a profile only after the candidate has agreed to be considered for your role.
-
Step 5: Interviews and offer
We schedule interviews, collect feedback on both sides and support the offer discussion so it closes cleanly.
-
Step 6: Notice period and joining
Regular contact with the candidate through the notice period to reduce drop-offs, and a check-in after joining.

- A written brief confirmed with you before sourcing starts
- Profiles shared only with the candidate's agreement
- Regular status updates, including honest feedback if the brief or budget needs adjusting
- Follow-up with the candidate through the notice period
