Bespoke Engagements

Nothing off the shelf. Everything built to brief.

If your brief does not fit a standard package, start here. For high-stakes partnerships, we design an engagement around your goals, led from the top.

16 Years Tailored to your organisation By conversation
Start With a Conversation

You bring the brief. We build the engagement.

Most of what we do follows a clear format. Some briefs do not. They are larger, more confidential, or in territory where there is no template to follow.

If that sounds like yours, we would like to hear it. We start by listening, and we design from there.

  • Led from the topBespoke mandates are led personally by our CEO.
  • Held in confidenceEvery conversation is private.
  • Honest at the outsetIf a mandate cannot be delivered, we say so.

When to Call Us

If the brief looks like this.

If one of these sounds familiar, it is worth a conversation.

01

Hiring at scale, against the clock

Hundreds of specialist hires in a single quarter, without ever lowering the bar.

02

Talent that barely exists

A senior team in a field where the right people are rare and heavily contested.

03

Entering a new market

Building a workforce in a country or sector where your name means little yet.

04

A workforce reshaped by AI

Rebuilding the capabilities you hire for as automation rewrites entire functions.

05

Senior and confidential

A leadership or board-level mandate that cannot touch the open market.

06

A capability built from scratch

Standing up a new team, division or function where none exists today.

A considered investment, not a packaged service.Bespoke mandates are tailored and senior-led, and priced accordingly. The conversation tends to be most useful when you already have a clear mandate and a sense of the budget in mind.

Over the 16 years since, he has built relationships across 100+ universities, 25,000+ employers, industry bodies and government, and has advised on employability at a national level.

Delivered with Care

Our team sees it through, with the discretion and rigour high-stakes work demands.

A Private Consultation With Our CEO

Some mandates deserve a conversation with the CEO.

Our CEO offers a select number of private 15-minute calls for organisations seeking a highly customised strategy. If a mandate cannot be delivered, we say so at the outset. If we take it on, we see it through.

A private 15-minute call, direct with our CEO | Bespoke engagements, led from the top | Only three or four engagements taken on each year | Every conversation is private and held in confidence
For highly customised mandates only. For recruitment, career fairs and employer branding, please contact our employer team.
