The discipline determines the sourcing lens and the ticket-verification depth. The workflow stays the same across all twelve disciplines: a structured brief, a considered search, a ranked shortlist and end-to-end offer support. Same consultant from intake through day-90 follow-up.
We arrive at intake ready. We already know the discipline, the ticket ecosystem, the day-rate or salary bands across UK regions, the passive-market context and the seasonal pressure the role runs on. Your time on intake is spent on your site and the crew you want to build, not on our education.
We approach our network and the passive market. Client identity is withheld until you give express permission. Approaches to a candidate’s current employer are coordinated with you before we make them.
Three to five candidates per brief, tickets verified against issuing bodies, portfolio or site experience confirmed, our written notes on each. Current day-rate or salary, notice position, right-to-work and any competing processes documented before introduction. We rank the shortlist and explain our ranking.
We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, structure the offer, handle counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics. Follow-up check-ins at day thirty and day ninety to make sure the placement is settling.
Roles that need a specialist desk we do not run. If you ask us for a discipline outside the twelve above, we will say so directly and refer you out with pleasure. Depth of focus inside outdoor trades is what makes our shortlists arrive faster and better matched than a generalist agency can manage.
