Every search is handled by a Partner from beginning to end. The Partner you meet at the first meeting will manage the search and the ESP team involved. They will interact with every candidate to ensure first-hand knowledge of every individual that reaches the short list.

ESP is a Partnership and as such we are all motivated in a positive progressive way to the benefit of our working environment and the work we do for our clients. We love our clients and that's why we can't work for just anybody. That means we become your ambassadors in the market place and every candidate we approach for you gets a super bright impression and insight into your business.

As we have these longer term relationships, results for us are not the transaction of someone being hired but their ongoing success at the business. That's how we build trust and partnerships with our clients.

As we work exclusively with only one client in each sector our clients' are more open to sharing their business plans and strategy. This allows us to gain a better understanding and help develop a better people strategy to achieve those business agendas and goals.

We make no assumptions. We listen and consult and sometimes challenge to ensure that we totally understand the brief and to ensure our client achieve the successful outcomes they require. Our approach is tailored to each specific search and we stick to the brief, no surprises.

All the work we do for our clients is available solely to them. Target companies and all candidates (subject to our GDPR policy) is information we are happy to share. Our aim is to give our clients a competitive advantage as they drive their businesses forward.

All the work and information gained in the process of sourcing candidates or mapping a sector is there to assist our clients in planning for the future.

We work on a FIXED fee. This based on a % of the agreed salary expectation, with a minimum level that we are happy to discuss with you. This allows us to provide unbiased advice on who is the best candidate without our fees being a consideration!

HR likes it because it means there is no pressures by us or your hiring executives to drive a culture of increasing salaries.

Finance likes it too because recruitment budgets are controlled with no surprises.

Our terms reflect our confidence in our offering of a superior service and results.

The industry standard is to replace a candidate free of charge 30 days after the start day. We are happy to offer 120 days from the start date and as our relationship develops will discuss extending this offer.
