3. The Secret Of Our Success?
Unrivalled depth of sector experience.
27 years of relationships, expertise and outstanding candidates.
An agile and imaginative approach often missing from larger
organisations.
Regular insightful salary surveys, market reports and intelligence.
We never headhunt from our clients. CVs are never sent out without a
candidate’s express permission.
Our consultants have been with BLT an average of 10.8 years – a rare
commodity in the recruitment world!
The right candidate for the right job. Simple as that.
Tailor-made solutions for every job search or candidate hunt.
Taking the time to meet you and learn what will work for you.
We’re in it for the long run – not a quick buck - ultimately it’s your
decision
Our enjoyment of what we do is palpable, and distinguishes us the
most in our relationships with our clients and candidates.
We are constantly looking for new ways to engage with both clients
and candidates. Both by the more tried and tested routes (nothing
beats a phone call after all) and through our social media channels.

Alex Marshall, Director, CIL UK
“The BLT team understands our
marketplace and our business
well.
They have taken the time to
understand what makes us
different, and work hard to
find consultants that have
the potential we are looking
for.
We aren’t a cookie-cutter business,
and BLT understands that our
culture is an output, not an input.
The consultants at BLT are courteous
and professional and I certainly feel
like a valued client.
‘Alan Holroyd, i2a Consulting
“BLT have proved an insightful,
efficient and effective
recruitment partner over the last
10 years.
They took time to get to
know us and so provide us
with candidates who fit our
culture really well. ”
‘Anke Mueller, AMR International
“I suspect AMR was not an easy
client for BLT. We have quite
particular needs, and might have
come across as a bit difficult to
please.
BLT worked hard to tease
out exactly what it was we
needed, and the candidates
then put forward were spot
on.
We hired a number of people as a
result and they are thriving.”
‘
Claus Werner, Director, Ocean Strategy
“BLT has during the years been
of extreme help to our business.
From the beginning in 2002, we
have had a very good
relationship with BLT as they
understand our business very
well and are very efficient in
helping us with our recruitment
needs.
Thus, we have benefitted
greatly from BLT’s very
active position and excellent
network among both
relatively new and more
experienced consultants.
Particularly during the last 3
months where we have scaled
up our recruitment efforts, BLT
has been second to none in
helping us filling several
positions with top class
candidates.”

7. Standard Rates
Our standard fee rate is 25% of base salary.
We recognise that this might be at a higher rate than some
of our mainstream competitors and so we are flexible on
this particularly to work with clients with whom we have
enjoyed a good, longstanding and mutually supportive
relationship.
Exclusivity Rates
In return for exclusivity our fee rate is 20% of base salary.
This would include branded advertisement (if required) at
no additional cost.
