A discreet, retained search for experienced specialists through to the most senior appointments, in the fields where we hold genuine standing.
For over a decade we have worked alongside the universities and employers who shape the nation’s workforce. Those relationships let us reach people most searches never do.
This is not volume recruitment. Every candidate is approached individually and in confidence, not through an advert.
From experienced specialists with 5 years and above to the most senior appointments in an institution.
The people who teach, lead and run the institutions shaping the next generation.
Lecturer hiring is where most universities feel the squeeze, especially where qualified academics are scarce. We take it on directly.
On campus constantly through career fairs and partnerships with 100+ universities, we know who is ready to move.

We understand the role, the institution and the person it needs.
We identify the field and approach candidates discreetly, on your behalf.
A short, considered list with our honest assessment, not a pile of CVs.
We support through interviews, offer, and the transition into the role.
We approach candidates in our own name, using relationships built over 16 years. So we work retained: the fee is agreed before a search begins, and we approach people only for organisations genuinely committed to hiring.
It protects your confidentiality, the candidate, and our reach for the next search.
Terms are set at the briefing, shaped around the role’s seniority and difficulty. The first conversation costs nothing, and if we do not believe we can serve the search well, we will tell you then.
For experienced professionals in academic, People, technology and commercial fields. Register in confidence: only directors and above see or work on your profile. We approach you only when a relevant role arises, and share your profile with an organisation only with your explicit consent.
Handled by directors and above. Never shared without your consent.
The fee reflects the role’s seniority and difficulty and the scope of the search, and is agreed in writing before the search begins. We work retained rather than success-only, so each search gets the time and discretion it needs.
Yes. We approach candidates without naming you until a candidate is serious and you have agreed.
We will say so at the briefing. For roles outside academic, People, technology or commercial fields, we would rather point you elsewhere.
Tell us about the role. We will tell you honestly whether it is one we can serve well.
