Questions

Frequently asked

How are your fees structured?

Permanent placements are charged as a percentage of first-year salary, payable on start. Contract roles are charged as a margin on the day rate. We'll agree terms in writing before any work begins.

Do you offer a rebate or replacement guarantee?

Yes. If a permanent placement leaves within the agreed guarantee period, we'll find a replacement or refund on a sliding scale. Details are set out in our terms of business.

How quickly can you produce a shortlist?

Typically within two weeks of a briefing, often faster for roles within our core sectors.

Which areas do you cover?

We're based in Brixton and work across London and the South East, with remote and hybrid roles nationwide.
