Explore my Services

I offer founder-led recruitment support across the UK and APAC, working across digital, tech, data, retail, logistics and corporate support functions.

I focus on getting things right rather than just getting things done.

I work with a small number of clients at a time so I can properly understand what you’re trying to build not just the job description, but the team, the context and what success actually looks like.

From there, the search becomes more focused and more considered, leading to candidates who genuinely fit, not just people who are available

  • A small number of active clients at any time

  • No hand-offs or volume-driven processes

  • Clear, honest communication throughout

  • Focus on long-term fit, not just short-term placement

What I Offer

Talent Search (Contingency)

For roles where you want flexibility and just need someone to run a solid search and bring you the right people.

I’ll handle everything end-to-end from sourcing and screening through to shortlisting — and keep things clear and straightforward throughout.

Retained Search

For more senior, niche or business-critical hires where getting it right really matters.

This is a more focused search. I’ll spend more time mapping the market, reaching out directly and working closely with you from start to finish.

Project-Based Hiring Partner

If you’re hiring across multiple roles or going through a growth phase.

I step in as an extension of your team for a period of time — helping you build pipelines, manage the process, and keep things moving.

Talent Mapping

If you’re not ready to hire yet but want to understand the market first.

I’ll map out the talent landscape — who’s out there, how teams are structured, and what salary levels look like so you can make better decisions before going live.

Hiring Excellence Playbook (Internal SOP Build)

If you don’t have a clear hiring process in place (or it’s a bit all over the place).

I’ll help you put structure around it — from how roles are briefed, to how interviews are run, to how decisions are made — so hiring becomes more consistent and easier to manage,

Fees

Fees are aligned to the level and complexity of the role.

Contingency searches are typically in the region of 12–18%, with retained and project-based work structured depending on scope.

Happy to talk this through in more detail once I understand what you’re hiring for
