FAQs
Do you only work in the Midlands?
Although our roots are in Derbyshire and we have historically served Midlands-based engineering and technology clients, we now manage recruitment projects across the entire UK. Check our job listings to see opportunities available in various regions.
Do you find contractors?
Yes, we do. We specialise in building robust networks of highly skilled contractors across our seven IT technology talent practices and regional engineering recruitment teams. We also handle IR35 assessments and offer IR33 insurance. Our contract recruitment processes are meticulous and compliant, ensuring we can mobilise specialised tech or engineering resources swiftly when you need them. This includes high level consultants, interim and fractional engagements.
Are you a recruitment agency?
Not in the traditional sense. We believe recruitment has evolved beyond simply filling seats. While we can certainly assist jobseekers in securing their next position, we go much further. Check out our Coaching section for more details. For hiring managers, we provide a wide-ranging portfolio of talent consulting services in addition to our permanent and contract recruitment offerings, check out our Consulting and Recruitment sections above.
How much do you charge?
For job seekers, our services are free of charge. We charge our clients placement fees for introducing candidates like you to them. These fees vary based on factors such as exclusivity, the role’s nature, engagement levels, and volumes. However, our coaching and consulting services are costed depending on the nature of the engagement. Fancy a chat, get in touch and we'll give you a feel for costs.
