A flexible, success-based approach

Contingency recruitment is primarily suited to professional, technical and commercial appointments where there is an established candidate market and a clear hiring requirement.

Operating on a non-exclusive, success-based basis, we draw on our specialist chemical industry knowledge, established networks and targeted search methods to identify, assess and present suitably qualified candidates. A placement fee is payable only when a candidate is successfully appointed.

A structured, exclusive approach

Exclusive Staged Search is designed for specialist, management and strategically important appointments where a more focused and structured approach is required.

Operating on an exclusive basis, we undertake a dedicated, targeted search with fees linked to two defined stages: the presentation and disclosure of suitable candidates, and a successful appointment.

This approach provides greater structure, transparency and a shared commitment to progressing the search, while maintaining a clear focus on identifying and securing the right candidate.

A comprehensive, research-led approach

Fully Retained Search is a research-led approach for senior leadership, executive and business-critical appointments.

We combine in-depth market research, detailed candidate mapping and proactive engagement to identify and secure exceptional talent, often beyond the active candidate market.

Before accepting a retained mandate, we carefully assess the role, market conditions and feasibility of the search. Where a fully retained approach is not appropriate, we may recommend an alternative engagement model better suited to the assignment.

Flexible solutions for larger recruitment projects

For clients with multiple recruitment requirements, we offer tailored engagement arrangements designed to support consistency, efficiency and coordinated delivery across larger recruitment campaigns.

These arrangements can incorporate contingency, exclusive or retained search elements, depending on the scale of the project, locations, timescales and recruitment requirements.

We regularly support international team build-outs, new site launches and strategic growth initiatives, providing a single, specialist recruitment partner across multiple appointments.
