With over 20 years' recruitment and headhunting experience, we are committed to building long-term partnerships with the clients and candidates we work with. 

Whether your company is a start-up, scale-up, SME, or global business, you'll love our unique resourcing model that combines the headhunting expertise of an executive search firm, with the personalised, friendly and collaborative approach of an in-house recruitment team.  Our aim is to become a natural and seamless extension to your HR function, and a collaborative, value-adding partner to your business.

We are particularly passionate about supporting organisations who make a positive impact on their community, such as; charities, NPOs, schools, B-Corps and companies with a strong CSR strategy.

HIRE CANDIDATES JOB ADVERTS & HIGH STREET RECRUITERS WON'T FIND

Job adverts are no longer an effective way of finding the best talent for your business. By partnering with Talent Seeker, we headhunt candidates for you who aren't on job boards or seeing job adverts, but will have a genuine interest in your opportunity and business. This means you receive specifically matched, high calibre candidates, and don't waste any time reviewing and communicating with unsuitable applicants.

We appreciate that every company is unique, so we start by getting to know you, your business and culture.  We'll then gain an in-depth understanding of your job vacancy, team set-up and employee value proposition (EVP) - i.e. what makes your business a great place to work at.

Once we've established your ideal candidate profile, we'll commence a multi-pronged, highly targeted candidate search, using the latest headhunting software, CV databases and most relevant social media platforms.  In addition; we'll leverage our own candidate portal and comprehensive network of relevant sector contacts.

By combining all these headhunting tactics, we're able to ensure you receive the strongest possible shortlist of suitable candidates, whilst also benefiting from an enjoyable, stress-free, friendly and collaborative recruitment process and hiring experience.
