History

Operating in your niche since 1998!

We've seen many changes in the industry, both in terms of our sector specialisms and the recruitment industry in general.

1998:

Our business was established to overcome the challenges in finding specialist technical and commercial skillsets for sales and leadership roles. With hiring managers regularly complaining about the lack of quality and experience they were finding, we recognised the need for a professional head-hunting service and we very quickly we became the number one choice for these positions in our sector specialisms.

2004:

Several years later with hundreds of successful placements behind us, we had built relationships with most of the world's leading manufacturers and started to expand our operations to international markets.

2008:

After 10 years of operations, we employed dozens of highly trained consultants. When the economy then went through challenging times  we decided to expand the territories we covered, instead of diversifying and losing our core values. In just a couple of years we became one of the leading head-hunting consultancies in the EMEA region.

2018:

Now, another 10 years on, the industry has changed further and there are new challenges that employers, hiring managers and HR specialists come up against. The cost to hire now is often highly prioritised over the level of approach that's taken and the market is saturated with hundreds of different ways to identify and attract talent with inconsistent results.

Of course, every company has a budget for recruitment and will have salary restrictions, and after all, we all have to cut our cloth accordingly. But by using a headhunt approach, we still find it is the only solution with guaranteed results every time. 

Whether your role is one that has been historically challenging or a sensitive or critical hire, we know that there is only one methodology that is guaranteed to result in you hiring the highest achieving candidates: The art and science that is true headhunting!
