Commercial Recruitment
Whether you’re hiring a Finance Manager, a Customer Service Advisor, or your next Head of Marketing, the pressure is the same: the role needs filling, your business can’t afford to get it wrong, and there usually isn’t time to run a lengthy trial-and-error process.
We recruit across Accountancy & Finance, Customer Service, Human Resources, Marketing & Creative, Sales, and Office Support for businesses across Northamptonshire. In every one of these areas, we work the same way – proper briefing, honest assessment, and shortlists built on fit, not volume.
Hiring for commercial roles is taking over your week.
You’re trying to fill a vacancy whilst covering the gap while it’s open, managing a hiring manager who wants someone “yesterday,” and still expected to deliver everything else on your plate: payroll, onboarding, policy, the day-to-day running of the business… *slow exhale*
Post the role yourself and you’ll get volume, not quality. Use the wrong agency and you’ll get CV-spam dressed up as a shortlist — keyword matches with no real understanding of your culture, your team, or what “good” actually looks like in the role.
And a bad hire doesn’t just cost you the redo. It costs you time and your credibility with the leadership team.
We focus on the businesses behind the brief, not just the boxes a CV ticks, plus saving you from wading through 80 CVs, meaning you only meet people who are worth your time.

What Makes Us Different
Ownership
We do not pass problems back to you. From the moment we get your brief, we treat your hire as our responsibility. This means proactive communication, honest challenge when needed, and a relentless focus on outcome over process.
Honesty
We tell you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. If a salary is wrong, a candidate is not the right fit, or a brief needs improving before going to market, we say so. Our reputation is built on being honest, not telling people what they want to hear.
Quality
Every CV we send has been deeply assessed. We do not pad our shortlists to ‘look busy’ nor chase placements at the expense of fit. Every candidate we put forward has been thoroughly assessed. Quality over quantity, every time.
Relationships
We are in the business of people. We invest our time in understanding you and your business beyond the job spec. We get to know candidates as individuals and build relationships on honesty, consistency, and delivery that outlasts a single placement.
Our Specialist Areas
Finance hires carry more risk than most… you’re trusting someone with numbers, compliance, and often the most sensitive information in the business. Qualified and part-qualified candidates are in short supply, and the strong ones don’t stay on the market long. We assess technical capability properly, so you’re not just hiring a qualification.
These roles keep everything else in a business moving, which is exactly why a gap here is felt immediately. The challenge isn’t finding applicants for these roles, it’s finding someone who is organised and reliable enough to represent your business well. We filter properly, so what reaches you is worth interviewing, not just generic CVs.
HR hires sit close to the most sensitive parts of a business – confidential information, employment law, culture, and trust. Get it wrong and the impact isn’t confined to one department. We assess judgement and discretion as carefully as experience, particularly for standalone HR appointments.
Strategic thinking and creative judgement don’t show up clearly in a CV or a portfolio, and a weak hire here can quietly waste budget for months before it becomes obvious. We look past the presentation to assess commercial impact and brand fit.
A candidate who interviews brilliantly doesn’t always sell, and the cost of that mismatch is a missed pipeline and months of lost momentum. We look past the pitch to track record and how someone performs against target, not just how they present themselves.
