Can you help me find candidates for a non-HR role?
We know what we do best and we stick to that. We also have a fantastic network of like-minded recruitment partners with other specialisms that we collaborate closely with and they cover roles in Finance or Sales, Legal etc. Just let us know where you need help and we’ll put you in touch with the relevant team.
Do you recruit nationally?
As we’re Yorkshire based, it’s fair to say our networks are strongest in the North not that’s stopped us recruiting for clients who value our approach in other areas of the UK including Manchester, South Wales, London and even Jersey!
Do you specialise in recruiting into certain industries or types of business?
No. We pride ourselves, quite simply, on placing great HR Talent into businesses, whether they’re growing PE backed start-ups, small corporates or global organisations.
What makes you different to your competitors?
As an owner managed business, any decision as to who we work and partner with is underpinned by our values.
We’re a close-knit team that embraces collaboration and fosters teamwork. Every assignment we take on is fully supported by all three Directors – we don’t pass the work to less experienced colleagues. By leveraging our three respective networks, we engage with a wider pool of HR talent.
Unlike the majority of Recruitment businesses, we split our profits equally as opposed to allocating commission to individual Consultants. This means it’s in all of our interests to fill every brief entrusted to us.
How much will it cost me to use your services?
A lot of work goes into recruitment. It’s about far more than posting a job and screening CVs. Collectively, we’ve spent over 60 years in the industry and feel our fees are a fair reflection of our market knowledge and expertise.
We pride ourselves on a combination of competitive fees, a high touch personal service and an impressive return on investment. We’ve been known to agree on competitive fees with clients as we simply like their business ethos and feel they align well with our values.
I’m trying to get into HR, can you help?
We’re really proud to have helped a number of graduates and have close links with Leeds Beckett University who run a fantastic BSc (Hons) Human Resource Management & Business course which is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. We’ve also helped people who’ve wanted a complete change in their professional life, moving from careers in areas such as Retail Management.
How do I register with you?
We’re pretty relaxed/informal! If you want to come to our offices or meet at a coffee shop of your choice somewhere in the Yorkshire region, that works for us. We love a chat over a quality cup of coffee or a brew.
We’re equally happy to schedule a Teams/Zoom call to run through your experience and discuss what you’re looking for in your next role etc.
We’ll also meet you somewhere closer to home/ work if that suits you. We’ve been known to meet candidates at Roundhay Park for a walk and a coffee or at Services on the M1 – whatever works for you!
Why should I send you my CV, can’t I just apply for things on your website?
If you prefer to work that way, of course! We post the majority of our roles on our jobs page.
Occasionally, however, we conduct confidential searches for clients which require discretion, and consequently, we avoid advertising on the usual job boards and social media channels. We fill these jobs by contacting candidates we know, trust and in many cases have partnered with over a decade or more!
