    A named consultant owns your requirement from first call to joining day.

  • The full picture, up front

    Candidates know the role, pay range and expectations before they interview.

  • Clear terms before we start

    Scope, timelines and fees are agreed in writing before the search begins.

About EMPLOYEEQ

Recruitment that starts with understanding the job

Most hiring problems begin with a vague brief. We spend time with hiring managers to understand what a role really involves, what success looks like in the first months and what kind of person will work well in the team.

That understanding shapes everything that follows: where we search, how we assess candidates and who we recommend.

  • Practical briefsResponsibilities, skills and expectations agreed before we search.
  • Structured screeningConsistent assessment, so candidates are compared fairly.
  • Long-term fitWe consider motivation and team fit alongside skills.

Why EMPLOYEEQ

A recruitment partner you can rely on

We measure our work by the quality of the people we place and how long they stay, not by how many CVs we send.

  • Matched to the role, not keywords

    Consultants read beyond the CV and test each candidate against what the job actually involves.

  • One consultant from brief to joining

    The person who takes your brief runs your search, so nothing gets lost between handovers.

  • Honest updates

    Regular progress updates, including when the market is tight or the brief needs to change.

  • Careful with information

    Candidate details are shared only with consent, and your hiring plans stay confidential.

  • Every type of hire

    Permanent, contract, temporary and leadership hiring through one partner.

  • Fair to both sides

    Candidates get clear information and respectful treatment at every stage, which reflects well on your employer brand.

What kinds of roles does EMPLOYEEQ recruit for?

We recruit for permanent, contract and temporary roles across functions and seniority levels, from operational and support staff to specialists and senior leaders. See our services and industries pages for more detail.

How do we start working with you?

Send us your requirement through the enquiry form or call us. A consultant will arrange a short briefing call to understand the role, then confirm the approach, timeline and terms in writing before the search starts.

How are your fees structured?

Fees depend on the service. Permanent recruitment is usually charged per successful hire, while contract, temporary and managed services are billed for the period people work with you. We confirm all terms before any work begins. [Confirm EMPLOYEEQ's fee structure.]

Do candidates pay EMPLOYEEQ to find them a job?

How do you keep candidate and client information confidential?

We only share candidate details with an employer after the candidate has agreed to be put forward for that role. Client information is used only to run the search you have asked us to carry out.
