Hiring Solutions Designed Around Your Needs & Budget…
Finding, attracting and retaining talented people is critical to achieving your organisation’s goals – particularly when roles are business-critical, timelines are tight, or previous hiring efforts haven’t delivered the quality required. As an independent Talent Acquisition Partner, I specialise in recruiting across Sales, Marketing, PR, Events, Media & Client Services roles. I provide flexible, hands-on hiring support that adapts to your needs — whether that’s embedded, fractional support to strengthen delivery across multiple or ongoing hires, or a more focused, retained search approach for key appointments at all levels.
My approach is designed to deliver cost-effective, high-quality outcomes while aligning with your organisation’s priorities, pace and budget — delivered through a flexible range of support options:-
1| Fractional Embedded Talent Acquisition / Direct Hiring Support
Flexible, expert talent acquisition support delivered on a ‘fractional’ basis, embedding seamlessly into your team without the cost of a full-time hire or agency fees. Alongside hands-on delivery, this includes direct hiring consultancy – bringing strategic insight to strengthen how roles are defined, how talent is attracted, and how your hiring approach is structured for long-term success.
You can access support as and when you need it – on a daily, hourly or project-by-project basis – providing experienced, hands-on expertise that scales with your hiring demands. Unlike cost-per-hire models, this approach offers a more cost-effective solution, particularly when managing multiple or ongoing vacancies. Support can include:
- End-to-end hiring delivery, from role briefing and adverts through to offer and onboarding
- CV screening, first-stage interviews and aligned shortlists
- Interview coordination and feedback management
- Employer brand and EVP optimisation
- Proactive talent pooling for future needs
- Flexible, on-demand support aligned to your priorities
Whether you’re scaling, experiencing increased demand or struggling to secure the calibre of candidates you’re looking for, a fractional recruiter steps in to strengthen both your hiring approach and day‑to‑day delivery – from a few hours of weekly expert input through to fully managing your hiring process.
Ideal for: Growing organisations, increased hiring demands, additional recruitment support, or teams seeking to reduce reliance on agencies and strengthen their direct hiring capabilities.
2 | Headhunting / Retained Search Service
Tailored to help organisations secure high-calibre talent when the open market alone isn’t delivering the right candidates. A focused, dependable approach to hiring for business-critical, specialist and high-impact roles, including those that are hard to fill or require discretion at all levels.
Designed for organisations seeking a proactive recruitment partner, this approach goes beyond job boards and traditional contingency methods to identify and engage the right talent – while remaining a more cost-effective alternative to larger search firms. You benefit from a structured, in-depth search process focused on quality over volume, combining targeted outreach with direct engagement of experienced candidates who are not actively job seeking, alongside access to wider, often overlooked talent pools with strong transferable skills. This service includes:
- Strategic search support across sectors, roles & seniority levels
- Clear brief development, salary bench marketing and role positioning to ensure alignment before search begins
- Proactive sourcing and targeted engagement with high-calibre talent, including passive candidates not visible on the open market
- A carefully curated shortlist of high-quality, well-aligned candidates, saving time and improving hiring decisions
- Confidential and discreet management of sensitive hiring requirements
- Flexible engagement to fit your budget & hiring timelines
Whether you’re hiring for a critical role, struggling to attract the right calibre of candidates, or need a more targeted and discreet approach, this service allows me to focus fully on identifying and engaging the right people – giving you confidence in both the process and the outcome.
Ideal for: Organisations struggling to attract the right calibre of candidates for critical or mid‑to‑senior roles, where quality, discretion and deeper, proactive search are essential – without the high fees typically associated with the larger traditional executive search firms.
My recruitment solutions are designed to provide practical, results-focused recruitment support that maximises return on hiring investment – helping you access stronger talent, improve hiring efficiency, and strengthen your overall recruitment approach. Whether you need hands‑on delivery through fractional embedded support or focused, strategic retained search for key roles, I work closely with you to create a solution that fits your organisation’s needs, budget and hiring priorities. Contact me today to explore which of these options best supports your hiring goals and how I can help you attract, hire and retain talent that not only delivers results but supports your organisation’s purpose, values and long‑term mission.
