Our ‘one team one goal’ philosophy means that every member of our team is as enthusiastic to fill your roles as you are. Everybody works together to support our customers, with no individual targets just one team goal. 

HOW DO WE FIND THE BEST PEOPLE?

1. We take the details of the role, agree on a day & charge rates, then confirm these by email.

2. Customers are introduced to our legal partners, who use qualified legal staff to analyse the role and make an initial status determination of whether the role is inside or outside of IR35.
 
3. Every role is immediately advertised on all the major job boards with the 91% inside IR35 determinations, making the roles far more attractive to potential candidates.
 
4. We build a detailed understanding of the role and the company:
 
• Where possible, we talk to the line manager for this role so that we can get their take on what they need.

• We check out the website for information that will help us sell the role.

• The job spec is closely analysed to identify the key requirements of the role.

• Using any available means, we investigate people who conduct the role in the company now and previously. We also check out people that do the same role for other companies.

8. We organise all of the interviews, making sure candidates are well prepared and on time:
