The discipline determines the sourcing lens and the ticket-verification depth. The workflow stays the same across all twelve disciplines: a written brief, a targeted search, a ranked shortlist and offer support through to the start date. Same consultant from intake through day-90 follow-up.
We arrive at intake already knowing the discipline, the tickets that matter, the day-rate or salary bands across UK regions, who is quietly open to a move and the seasonal pressure the role runs on. So the intake call goes on your site and the crew you want to build.
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.
Some roles 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.
Submit a vacancy with the site, the crew, the tickets required and the timeline. We will reply within one business day with a clear plan and a fee proposal.
