How an engagement runs

The specialism determines the sourcing lens, the credential-verification depth and the portfolio-review requirement. The workflow stays the same across all twelve: a structured brief, a considered search, a ranked shortlist and end-to-end offer support. Same consultant from intake through day-90 follow-up.

1. KBB-fluent brief

We arrive at intake ready. We already know the software stack, the credential ecosystem, the package bands across the UK regions, the passive-market context for the specialism, and the seasonality of the installation calendar. Your time on intake is spent on your business and the team you want to build, not on our education.

2. Discreet, considered search

We approach our network and the passive market. Client identity is withheld until you give express permission. Approaches to a candidate’s current employer are coordinated with you before we make them, particularly where the KBB market in a specific region is small enough that a sloppy approach signals to competitors.

3. Ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates per brief, credential-verified, portfolio-reviewed where relevant, with written notes on each. Current package in GBP, notice period, van-signwriting position and any competing processes documented before introduction. We rank the shortlist and explain our ranking. We do not send a stack of unfiltered CVs.

4. Offer support

We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, structure the offer, handle counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics. Follow-up check-ins at day thirty and day ninety to make sure the placement is settling.

What sits outside our scope

Commercial-kitchen chefs, hospitality-industry roles and food-service operations sit best with specialist chef and hospitality recruiters. Domestic-only handyman roles sit with local trade platforms. If you ask us for something outside the twelve KBB specialisms above, we will say so directly and refer you out with pleasure.
