Experience recruitment,Beyond the ATS
Retained-standard search, sourcing and screening — delivered at the speed and volume your business actually hires at. Three verified candidates in fourteen days.
Most agencies send you CVs. We send you a decision.
A shortlist should be short. Ours arrives at three — each candidate sourced through a named pipeline, interviewed against your brief rather than their CV, reference-checked, salary-aligned and confirmed as available on the day it lands.
That is the standard a board expects for an executive appointment. We hold it whether the mandate is one director, forty engineers or four hundred contact-centre agents — and we hold it in every country we operate in.
Three ways to work with us.
End-to-end recruitment
We take the mandate from brief to signed offer: market map, outreach, screening, interview management, offer negotiation and onboarding follow-through.
Candidate sourcing
Your team runs the process; we fill the top of the funnel with mapped, contacted and interested candidates — including access to our Correlation One pipeline and private network.
Screening & assessment
Structured interviews, role-specific testing, right-to-work and reference verification — evidenced in a written scorecard you can defend to a hiring committee.
Three verified candidates in fourteen days — or the retainer is returned.
No qualifications in small print. The clock starts the day the brief is signed off, and it applies to every mandate we accept.
From signed brief to three verified candidates, in writing.
If a fourth is worth your time we say so. We do not pad.
If a placement leaves inside ninety days, we run it again at no fee.
No candidate is submitted on the basis of a CV alone. Ever.
How a mandate runs.
Brief and calibration
A ninety-minute session with the hiring manager, not a form. We leave with the scorecard, the salary reality, the interview panel and the two or three things that will actually get someone hired here.
Market map
We map the addressable market for the role — companies, titles, comp bands, availability — and send it to you before outreach begins. You see the size of the pool you are hiring from.
Sourcing and outreach
Named pipelines first: our own network, the Correlation One talent pool, referrals from past placements. Cold outreach is written by a consultant who read your brief.
Verification
Structured interview, role-specific assessment, right-to-work and reference checks. Everything is evidenced in a scorecard against the criteria you signed off.
Shortlist and offer
Three candidates, each with a written case and a stated availability date. We manage scheduling, feedback, offer negotiation and the first ninety days after start.
Where our candidates come from.
Sourcing is the part most agencies improvise. Ours is infrastructure, built and maintained whether or not you have an open role today.
Correlation One
Access to a pipeline of technically assessed data, analytics and engineering talent — candidates who have already completed evaluated programmes, not self-declared skills.
The VRS network
Fourteen thousand tracked professionals across six sectors and forty countries, maintained by consultants who speak to them between mandates, not only during one.
Placement referrals
Every person we place becomes a source. Referrals from previous placements convert at roughly three times the rate of cold outreach — and they arrive pre-vouched.
