We'd be delighted for you to work on filling our roles for us. We get lots of interest in them from recruiters so have a standard basis on which we will start working with you:

  • We'll pay you 7.5% of the annual starting salary of any successful candidate you introduce us to.
  • You'll send us your invoice on the candidate's start date, we'll pay you 30 days later. If you'd like us to pay you sooner, please take 1% off the fee above for each week earlier you'd like paying.

To start working with us, you'll send us the CV(s) of your best candidate for the role to the e-mail address specified above:

  • It's not possible to have a telephone call before you send us the first CV.
