The guarantee

We guarantee the hire. Not the number of applications.

A recruitment agency hands you a head and invoices 15 to 25 percent of the annual gross salary. A campaign provider hands you applications and measures itself by their volume. We measure ourselves by the filled role: if a committed position stays open, we re-fill it – at no further cost to you.

Before any contract there is the feasibility check: it tells you in advance whether your role can be filled in your catchment area. If it comes back negative, we decline – that is the cheaper outcome for both of us.

How the system works

Waiting list

One company per specialisation and area. Every slot is currently taken.

Put your name down. As soon as a slot opens in your area we will come back to you – with an assessment, not a pitch.

What happens next

You leave a postcode and a website. That is all we need to place your catchment area.
We come back as soon as we can – and we decline if your area is taken or the role cannot be filled. Honestly, before you lose time.
If it fits, we run your area together: how many suitable technicians work within range, and what the build would cost you – including when we advise against it.
