FAQs for Employers
Sales, business development, account management, marketing, technical and manufacturing roles across medical equipment, medical devices, public sector IT equipment, pharmaceuticals, dental equipment and quality assurance
Our roles can be junior, mid-level or senior management.
We don’t recruit for clinical positions like doctors or nurses
We only work on permanent positions or fixed term contracts
We’re based in Yorkshire, UK and recruit across the UK and Ireland, including for suppliers to the NHS and HSE. We also place English speaking candidates into Europe and the USA.
We offer an efficient service based on knowledge. Our recruiters have all worked within the medical equipment and supplies industry outside of recruiting. This gives us a great grounding with which to talk to candidates and hone the quality. This ensures our clients only ever interview qualified people saving them time and frustration. We do not just send CVs of people from our database. Every candidate is interviewed against the Job Description before the client ever sees them. Quality not quantity.
No! Recruitment has a terrible reputation for this BUT we will not do this. At the most you will receive a quarterly email and an occasional phone call. Frankly we are too busy filling jobs to waste your time.
Yes. We don’t have a huge contract to sign setting out 100 clauses that needs a legal team. We offer a simple framework based on the role and we are 100% committed to the people we recruit. The length of the guarantee is often based on the feel good factor we get from the clients we work with. Old school trust based relationship.
Occasionally things can go wrong. We all know that. People have a change in circumstance or get head hunted for something they are told is amazing. We deal with it and stand behind it.
For senior positions we offer up to a 6 month guarantee. To be honest, if things are not going to plan the best action is early action, talk to us early.
How often does this happen? Hardly ever.
Can we control everything? No
Do we stand behind our work? Yes we want to be in a long term relationship with our clients not a “one hit wonder”!
Yes. For senior and hard-to-fill roles we offer a headhunting and executive search service. This is largely undertaken behind the scenes and no one will ever know you are looking.
We do not just search our database and fire you some unchecked CVs for vague profile matches. We do the job properly, interview candidates against the job spec and only then do we present people.
We understand you might be in a rush to recruit BUT we find our process works first time, most of the time.
As such you can expect CVs in 1 to 2 weeks from which we will push you to interview within a week firstly via a Teams meeting that we will set up. From there, assuming you have a shortlist, we will arrange second interviews, usually onsite, and pass other requirements to the candidates such as presentation specifications. We like to get this done within 10 days of the first interview.
Ideally at this point there should be a decision that can be made. We highly recommend NOT having multiple 3rd, 4th and 5th interviews. It just shows indecisiveness and a lack of commitment.
We offer a straightforward efficient service that releases your time to focus on your job.
We work on permanent and fixed term contract positions. Our fees are based on a percentage of the salary on offer. No extras. We do not ask for upfront payments. We invoice on the start day of the candidate. Usual terms are 14 days. Because we don’t charge upfront, we ask clients to be committed to the process. If you want to waste someone’s time please go see one of the internationals not us.
We are a small business with low overheads but we do the job properly. If you want a cheap recruiter perhaps it is not us.

Are we cheap… No.
Do we offer value… Yes
