Permanent hires who are still the right choice a year from now
We recruit full-time employees for your teams, from first-line roles to senior specialists. You get a short list of candidates we have spoken to, assessed against the role and checked for genuine interest.
How permanent recruitment works with EMPLOYEEQ
A permanent hire is a long decision made in a short time. Most of the cost of a poor hire shows up months later, in lost productivity, a second search and a team that had to cover the gap. Our permanent recruitment service is built to reduce that risk before an offer is made.
We start by understanding the role in practical terms: what the person will actually do in their first six months, who they will work with, and what has made people succeed or struggle in the role before. That brief shapes where we search, what we ask candidates, and who we put in front of you.
You see fewer CVs, and each one comes with a consultant's note explaining why the candidate fits, what they are looking for, and any points worth testing at interview.
What you gain
Shortlists, not CV piles
Each candidate is screened by a consultant before you see them, so interview time goes to people who could genuinely do the job.
Candidates who know the role
We brief candidates on the role, salary range and expectations up front, which means fewer late withdrawals and declined offers.
Interview coordination handled
We schedule interviews, collect feedback from both sides and keep candidates informed so good people don't drift away.
Support through notice period
We stay in contact with the selected candidate between offer and joining date, when most drop-offs happen.
Is this service right for you?
Permanent Recruitment usually suits organisations in one or more of these situations.
- Companies building or expanding a permanent team
- Roles that have been open for longer than planned
- Hiring managers with limited time to screen applications
- Replacement hires where the previous fit didn't work
- Specialist roles that need targeted search rather than job ads
- Businesses entering a new city or function

Questions about permanent recruitment
How many candidates will we see for each role?
Usually three to five well-screened candidates per role. If the market is tight, we will tell you early and agree whether to adjust the brief or the timeline.
How long does a permanent search take?
It depends on the role and notice periods in your industry. We agree a realistic timeline at the briefing stage and update you weekly on progress.
What happens if a placed candidate leaves early?
Replacement terms are agreed in writing before the search begins, so you know exactly what is covered.
Do you recruit for roles outside our city?
Yes. Tell us where the role is based and whether relocation or remote work is possible, and we will search accordingly.
