The Norfolk & Cambridgeshire Recruitment Company
Experts in making great hires in remote locations.
Recruitment is rarely easy.
But when you’re not in a major town or city, it can get that bit harder.
How do people know you are there? Why would they want to come anyway?
That’s where we come in.
About Us
Situated on the border of Norfolk & Cambridgeshire, our mission is to bring recruitment excellence to more remote locations.
Places like King’s Lynn, Wisbech, Chatteris, Ely, and Thetford all get our attention.
And our methodology is different – we see life through the candidate lens. We identify what makes you a great employer, create recruitment marketing you probably haven’t seen the like of before, and employ advanced assessment tools.
“We are different” is a popular claim. This really is.

Candidates interviewed
Let's not waste time. We only send you candidates you want to interview.
How we help you make great hires
We’ll sit down with you (the old-fashioned way, in your office and maybe a tour) and go through every element of not just the job, but the company. What makes you a great place to work. And what doesn’t (sorry, nothing is perfect).
Prepare to be challenged. Yes, we’ll understand who/what the ideal candidate is, but if you’re asking for that famous rocking horse, we’ll let you know.
You know – and we do now, too – what makes you such a great place to work. Let’s tell the world.
We’ll write a job ad that’s unlike anything you may have seen before. It is branded to you, in your tone of voice, and a million miles from a job description. But it isn’t about you. It is about why a candidate would want to work for you.
We’ll create a Candidate Information Pack, which is kind of like a job description on steroids. We’ll show you some examples, it is better seen than described.
You’ll hear from time to time that good candidates don’t apply for jobs. Of course they do – just write better adverts.
But it would be remiss of us to rely on them – in fact, c70% of our hires don’t come from adverts.
We’ve got some funky tech which helps us find the so-called “passive” candidate. We’ll then market you and your vacancy to them. It is targetted, specific, and compelling. Even the ones that aren’t looking for a move will be impressed.
We’ll put every candidate through a robust interview, conducted by a seasoned recruiter (not an off-the-shelf AI package).
This isn’t a generic ‘how-do-you-do’. It is specifically for you and your job. It is tailored to the skills, experience, and competencies you want. And it is also interesting and engaging for them.
We’ll do more. We’ll put them through a behavioural assessment, matching them to behaviours we’ve already identified with you. It’s clever stuff, let us show you.
Imagine when every time you needed to hire, you rang the same number. Dealt with the same recruiter, regardless of the job. The recruiter who now knows your business inside out.
No hassle. No voyage of discovery to find out if they were any good or would deliver on their promises. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it>?
We can do more.
We can look like your employee, your very own internal recruiter. We can work with you on succession planning, talent mapping, salary benchmarking, and competitor analysis. Or not – you decide what you need.
People leave jobs (for which we are grateful!).
But when does it go from being a recruitment error to a retention issue? Most agencies will tell you 3 months.
We only work with employers we believe in. And we truly believe in what we do. So we give you 12 months.
That’s right. A whole year.
As long as you haven’t made them redundant, we’ll do it all over again free of charge,
Pricing
Our pricing is clear and transparent. We don’t talk percentage of salaries – does that really make any sense to anyone? – we talk pounds and pence, agreed with you in advance.
And we don’t see why an £80,000pa job should cost you (at least) double a £40,000pa job. Let’s talk about that.
