Why choose us?

The best professionals aren’t on job boards, or scrolling LinkedIn for their "next opportunity". They’re immersed in their work, while your role remains unfilled.

Adverts are a great way to recruit and are often much cheaper than using an external partner, however, many hiring managers tell us that the volume of applicants doesn’t necessarily return the quality of results they want.

All too often they lead to a significant time cost to their business, without the successful outcome they desire.

If you really want to attract the best talent, those currently having success for your competition, you need to do something different.

Network

Flavour. Fragrance. Ingredients. We live in this space. Whether it’s through our search activity, networking or the multiple international exhibitions we attend each year, we’re at the forefront of the action, with deep market insight and knowledge that can help you beat your competition when looking to secure new talent.

Attract

Get access to best talent in the entire market, not just the talent that’s actively looking. We don’t wait for the best talent to apply. We craft compelling, story-driven employer narratives that engage top talent, and then we go out and get them for you.

Clarity+

Have you ever interviewed on the strength of a CV, only to realise instantly that they weren’t right? Our interactive video shortlisting portal ensures you meet with the most suitable candidates, actively reducing your commercial downtime and delivering a more seamless hiring process for all. Find out more on our client page.

Hire & Retain

Successful recruitment is about both HIRING and RETAINING the right people. We're proud of our track record with a success rate of 97% on all projects since 2018, more importantly more than 98% of those were still in situ after 12 months. Statistics we’re proud of, but that we still aim to improve.

I worked with Jamie initially in 2018 as a candidate, and then as a client 2019 - 2023. Jamie is very thorough in the way he works and makes sure he understands the details of the roles he is working on; he also puts in the same level of detail into understanding the candidates and their fit for the role and organisation. Jamie is also very trustworthy, gives an honest opinion and is very reliable. He is also a very likeable person and goes above and beyond the call of the duty to help in any way he can.
