WHO WE ARE We are able to provide a full range of bespoke 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. HOW WE DO IT Building Global Relationships
