WHO WE ARE
recruitment services tailored to your needs,
including Executive, Contingent, Retained and
Exclusive Solutions. The key to our service
is our unique proactive search methodology;
before we start working with clients in a
particular area, we spend 12 months minimum
mapping that market. This involves speaking
with everyone in that market, finding out what
they have done in their career so far, what they
currently do and more importantly what they
want to do in their next job. Hence, when we
start working with clients on vacancies we have
a thorough knowledge of the local talent pool.
WHAT WE DO
From our offices in London, Manchester,
Zurich, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, New York and
Singapore we cover the UK, Ireland, Continental
Europe, USA and Asia Pacific regions.
WHERE WE DO IT
2002
YEAR OF OUR
ESTABLISHMENT
Due to our unique search methodology,
deep technical knowledge, and excellence in
delivery, we develop long-term partnerships
based on trust and integrity. This enables
us to attract the most suitable talent in the
market instead of being limited to a list of
candidates that are actively seeking jobs. This
is paramount when the demand for many skills
needed within the sector outweighs the supply
of candidates at any one time.
