Who we are
Recruitment that gets your business.
We’re not a faceless agency firing CVs at you and hoping. We take the time to understand your business, your culture and the people who’ll actually fit it — then we deliver. Temporary, contract or permanent, we handle the sourcing, vetting and admin so you don’t have to.
For employers, that’s a partner who sends you people who fit. For candidates, it’s an agency that treats you like a professional with a career, not a name on a spreadsheet.

FAQ
Common
questions.
Do I need an SIA licence to register?
For most roles, yes. If you’re working towards one, get in touch — we can point you in the right direction and keep you in mind for when you’re ready.
How fast can you fill a shift?
Urgent cover is usually sorted within 24 hours. Planned roles are filled to your timescale. We don’t waste your time or ours.
Do you do permanent placements or just temp?
Both — temp, contract and permanent, whatever suits. We’re flexible because your needs are flexible.
Are your candidates vetted?
+
Yes — SIA-checked and BS 7858 screened before we put anyone forward. You don’t get a name until we’re satisfied they meet the standard.
Can you handle payroll and compliance too?
Yes — we can manage payroll and workforce compliance alongside the staffing, so you have one partner for the whole thing.
