Permanent Recruitment
The right person. First time.
A permanent hire is one of the highest-stakes decisions a business makes. Get it right and you gain capability, culture, and momentum. Get it wrong and you absorb the cost — in time, money, and team disruption — for months.
Our permanent recruitment process is built around a single principle: only present candidates we would genuinely hire ourselves. That means thorough briefing before we start, proactive headhunting alongside active sourcing, and competency-based screening that goes well beyond reading a résumé.
We work across mid-to-senior level permanent roles in IT & Telecommunications, Construction, and Healthcare. Our consultants have sector-specific experience — they've worked in or deeply around the industries they recruit for, which means they understand the difference between a candidate who looks right on paper and one who will actually thrive.
What's included
- Detailed role brief and market mapping discussion
- Proactive headhunting via our professional network
- Multi-channel sourcing (network, referrals, advertised)
- Competency-based phone and video screening
- Structured reference checking (2+ referees minimum)
- Interview coordination and candidate preparation
- Offer negotiation and counteroffer management
- 30-, 60-, and 90-day post-placement check-ins

| Candidate start date | 2–4 weeks post-acceptance (notice dependent) |
Outcome example
A federal government health agency needed a Senior Project Manager with PRINCE2 certification and NV1 clearance — a combination that rules out most of the active candidate market. Within eight business days we identified, screened, and presented three candidates meeting every criterion. The successful candidate was made an offer in week three and started two weeks later. The agency reported that the same search had previously taken four months through a different agency.
