How does a Talent Studio work?
A Talent Studio works as part of your team, taking responsibility for hiring — from the moment you need someone, right through to when they join.
From one-off hires through to scaling teams, we find the people, build and run the process, and put the right systems in place. Candidates are interviewed with you — or for you — and we bring in your team at the points where their judgement matters.
Everything is built inside your business and belongs to you, so each hire strengthens your ability to make the next.
You choose how much support you need and for how long. Costs are agreed upfront, and you only pay if we deliver.

FAQs
-
We run your hiring process from beginning to end, working as your talent team.
That includes researching the market, helping you define the role and package, creating and promoting the campaign, finding candidates, conducting interviews, arranging the wider interview process, managing feedback and supporting offers and onboarding.
Alongside each search, we build and improve the systems, processes and market knowledge that make future hiring easier.
You remain involved in the decisions only you can make—particularly what you need and who you ultimately hire. We handle the day-to-day work, keep everything moving and make sure every part of the process joins up.
-
For a one-off hire, our service costs a maximum of £4,000. The cost per hire is lower when you’re making multiple hires, and our aim is to reduce your hiring costs further the longer we work together. With some customers, the cost falls well below £1,000 per hire.
Whether you're hiring one person or building out several teams, you get the full Talent Studio service, not a cut-down version.
Unlike an agency, we don’t charge a percentage of salary. Pricing is agreed upfront and tied to clear deliverables and results.
If we don’t deliver the agreed result, you don’t pay.
-
Agency fees are high because they fill only a small percentage of the vacancies they work on. When you pay a £10,000 placement fee, you’re also paying for all the searches that produced no fee at all.
We fill every role we take on, which allows us to price with confidence in the outcome. Because we run the process end-to-end and work as part of your team, we see what’s working and adapt in real time.
We’re also building a long-term hiring partnership, not pricing each vacancy as a one-off transaction. The market knowledge, systems and processes we develop become more valuable and efficient with every hire—so our costs can reduce as the relationship grows.
-
Rather than a specific type of job, our specialism is learning how your company hires well.
Every technology company is different. The roles are different, the culture is different, the managers are different and the people you need to attract are different.
We bring proven hiring fundamentals, then learn what works specifically for your business. Because we run the whole process, that knowledge builds quickly and can be applied across functions as you grow.
Modern tools make it easier than ever to find people. The harder part is knowing who you really need, how to assess them and how to run a process that consistently turns the right people into hires.
-
If we don’t deliver the agreed result, you don’t pay. It’s that simple.
Because we manage the process end-to-end, we can quickly see what’s working, identify what isn’t and adapt with you in real time.
Whatever happens, you keep everything we develop together—including the systems, processes, market knowledge, candidate pipeline and IP. Use it yourself in the future, or bring us back in when you need us.
-
No. You can use the full Talent Studio service for one hire, several roles, or to build out an entire team. The scope, price and result are agreed upfront, with no obligation to give us future vacancies or commit to an ongoing retainer.
Our aim is to become the way your company hires—but we earn that relationship through what we deliver, not by tying you into it.
