Periscope Talent
Helping SMEs, Start-Ups & Charities Find Talented People & Build Stronger Teams – without big‑agency fees…
Periscope Talent is a Surrey-based boutique consultancy specialising in recruiting across Sales, Marketing, PR, Client Services & Business Support roles, helping early-stage Start-Ups, SMEs & Charities find talented people and build stronger teams, with a cost-effective approach designed to maximise value, not spend.
My hiring solutions are especially designed for businesses and organisations where one or more of the following apply:–
You are investing time in direct hiring but not seeing the quality, volume or consistency of candidates you need
You’re finding candidates, but offers are being declined or new hires aren’t staying long-term – creating ongoing hiring challenges, impacting team stability & overall progress
You have multiple or ongoing roles to fill, but want a more cost-effective alternative to fee-per-hire contingency models, with a stronger focus on long-term talent pipeline building
Your in-house HR/TA team gets stretched during busy periods, but you do not need an extra permanent full-time inhouse headcount
You have a critical, confidential, or hard-to-fill role where a more targeted, proactive search approach is needed, but budgets just don’t stretch to the large executive search firms
If you recognise these challenges, I am able to step in and provide flexible, cost-effective support to help you move your hiring forward. I work closely with you as a true Talent Partner, either embedded within your team on a fractional basis or leading a retained, exclusive search, combining senior strategic insight with hands-on delivery to ensure you hire the right people, not just available ones. Every hire should move your organisation forward – my role is to help make that happen.

Your Trusted Talent Partner…
Flexible access to senior-level recruitment expertise through fractional embedded support or retained search – delivering results without the overhead of in-house hiring or big-agency fees.
Fractional Talent Acquisition / Direct Hiring Support
Flexible, embedded talent acquisition support that goes beyond filling roles. This fractional recruitment solution combines hands‑on delivery with direct hiring consultancy, enabling organisations to not only fill roles, but improve how they attract, assess and secure talent over time. Whether covering individual hires, multiple roles or focusing on critical, hard‑to‑fill positions that require dedicated attention, the service provides flexible access to senior in‑house recruitment expertise on a daily, hourly or project-by-project basis. This allows organisations to manage hiring activity effectively without increasing permanent headcount, while reducing overall recruitment costs.
Retained Search / Headhunting Service
Retained Search designed to help organisations secure high-calibre talent at all levels where the open market alone may not deliver the right candidates. A dependable approach for filling business-critical, specialist and high-impact roles, including hard-to-fill or confidential hires at mid to senior level. Ideal for organisations seeking a proactive recruitment partner who can identify, engage and secure the right talent beyond job boards and traditional contingency models, while remaining more cost-effective than larger search firms. This approach engages experienced professionals who aren’t actively job seeking, while also accessing wider, often untapped talent pools with strong transferable skills.
