An extensive network: A lot of the best candidates aren't actively looking. We know them, and we know the businesses that want them.

Marketing expertise: When a role goes to market, we make sure it stands out and reaches the right people.

Market-leading technology: Our consultants can access unrivalled talent, speak to more people and create the best shortlists.

Two decades of specialist knowledge: We focus on accountancy and finance, HR, business support, not-for-profit and public sector, and executive search.

Local teams: Our consultants know the market across Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire.

Transparency at every step: Honest advice on the market, the role and the process, for employers and candidates alike.

They have taken the time to really understand our business, our finance team and how we operate, which means the candidates they introduce are consistently relevant and well suited to both the role and our culture. It's clear they focus on finding the right fit rather than simply sending across CVs.

Rebecca BookerSenior Accountant

From the very beginning, they invested the time to truly understand our business, not just the roles we needed to fill, but our culture, ambitions, values, and the direction we were heading as an organisation. Rather than taking a transactional approach, they aligned their search strategy with our long-term objectives, ensuring every candidate they introduced was a strong fit both professionally and culturally.

Laura CollinsTalent Acquisition Manager

Sue recently placed me in a senior HR role. I’d never worked with Sue before this and she was fantastic from the outset. After our first call, I knew she’d work hard to get me the role. Sue was engaging, informative, truthful, supportive and really built my confidence going into interviews. I’ve never worked with a recruiter who genuinely cares about their candidates as much as her.
