What we’re all about
Since 1988, we’ve worked with brands & agencies across marketing, digital, PR, social and creative, from first hires to full team builds.
Small independents. Big businesses & everything in between.
What we do.
Broadly speaking, we help firms recruit at all levels, whether that’s a small independent digital agency taking on its first employee or a mid-sized business or PLC looking to build a marketing & digital team from the ground up.
We’re mainly based across the Midlands and North West, but good people don’t sit still anymore, and neither do we. With remote now the norm, we help clients find talent wherever it lives.
How we work.
We’re a small team, deliberately.
No layers.
No handovers.
No targets driving the wrong behaviour.
Who we help.
We recruit at all levels from agencies hiring their first employee or scaling teams building out marketing functions. Established businesses strengthening what’s already there.
In-house, we’ve worked across a broad mix: e-commerce, retail, fashion, property, manufacturing, sport, education, charities, tech and professional services.
Different worlds. Same principle. Find the right fit.
How we think about hiring.
Hiring isn’t a process. It’s personal.
It can be emotional, messy, occasionally irrational. Because it matters.
You’re building a team, a culture, a future, and the wrong hire costs more than just money.
We don’t rush it. We get under the skin of what you need. Not just skills, but character, energy, and fit.
What makes us different.
We’re older & have been around the block many, many times.
We’ve got the battle scares & its all aimed to helping you avoid mistakes.
We don’t flood you with CVs. Instead, we focus on people who aren’t easy to find & who fit & matches that last.
What you can expect.
No fluff, jargon, just total transparency, from the get-go.
A proper partnership, not a transaction.
It’s never been about fees for us. It’s about doing the job properly.
With honesty, integrity, and a bit of pride in what we do.
Why it works.
Unlike, other recruitment firms, we don’t set ridiculous targets or have never had a high staff turnover, which means if you only recruit once or twice a year, chances are you’ll deal with the same person again.
We’ve learnt what works & what doesn’t.
That saves you time, money & untold pain. And helps you find people who genuinely add something.
The people behind it.
It’s run by Simon & Emma & and always has been.
No revolving door. No churn. We also hire, so are fully in tune with the joy & pain that goes with it.
Most of our clients deal with the same people year after year.
And a lot of them started out as candidates. Which says everything.
