Boutique Recruitment Business Support

Does Your Recruitment Business Need an Independent Review, and Some New Ideas?

Expert, personalised consultancy for niche recruitment agencies ready to improve, grow, and scale.

Running a recruitment business is demanding. When you’re focused on delivering for clients and managing a team, it’s easy to miss the operational inefficiencies, lost opportunities, and strategic blind spots that could be holding your business back. That’s where we come in.

With over 20 years in the financial services recruitment sector, and having founded and grown three successful recruitment businesses generating annual revenue in excess of £1m, we provide a targeted, expert review that identifies exactly what’s slowing your growth and how we can fix it together.

And because we operate as a one-person specialist consultancy, you work directly with the expert at every step.

Just deep industry insight and fast, actionable strategies tailored to your business.

No generic advice, specific action points ONLY!

Why Work With Us

You work directly with the expert!

How We Operate

We will conduct a comprehensive, independent review of your recruitment business to uncover improvement opportunities, streamline operations, and strengthen your performance.

Our review is tailored, and can include:

✔ Analyse Recruitment Processes & Operational Efficiency - We examine your workflows, systems, KPI's, delivery model, and day-to-day operations to highlight where performance is being lost.

✔ Identify Gaps in Talent Acquisition & Business Development - We assess your sourcing, client development, market positioning, and consultant performance to uncover growth barriers.

✔ Recommend Practical, Actionable Strategies - You don’t get a theoretical strategy deck, you get a targeted, realistic plan designed for small to mid sized recruitment businesses.

✔ Review Workforce & Team Structure - From consultant capability to incentives, culture, and productivity, we identify what’s working and what isn’t, on many occasions it's really obvious!

✔ Improve Candidate & Client Experience - We analyse your full customer journey and recommend improvements that increase satisfaction, repeat business, and referral opportunities.

As a founder led consultancy, your entire project is handled exclusively by someone with 20+ years of industry experience.

No handovers | No delegation | No mixed messaging

✔ Real life experience, not theory - Having built and grown three recruitment businesses from scratch, we understand the pressures you face and the commercial decisions you need to make. Our advice is practical, grounded, and proven.

✔ Fast, honest insights you won’t get internally- Busy leadership teams often "can’t see the wood for the trees", so we bring an external, unbiased view that surfaces issues and opportunities quickly.

✔ Team-friendly, collaborative approach - We engage authentically with consultants, resourcers, and managers to gain insight, gather buy-in, and avoid disruption to your daily operations.

✔ Clear, concise recommendations - You receive a structured report outlining exactly what needs to change,and how to do it, focused on impact and ROI.

✔ Flexible, value led pricing - The cost of the review is based on the depth and scope required, ensuring you only pay for what genuinely adds value.

Start-Up Business Mentoring & Advisory

For early-stage businesses, having an experienced sounding board can make all the difference. We provide guidance and support across key areas to help you confidently navigate challenges and scale sustainably:
