Worried that your employment contracts aren’t up to scratch or haven’t kept pace with the latest laws? We’ve got you covered. Employment contracts are the law, and we make sure yours are rock-solid and fully compliant with all UK employment regulations.
Our best practice contracts aren’t just pulled from some template—each one is tailored specifically to your business and the unique terms, conditions, and benefits you offer. We take the time to get them right because we know how important these documents are for both you and your employees.

Recruitment can be both pricey and risky, but we’ve got a way to cut down on both. Instead of just focusing on skills, we dig into the right behaviours for your role.
We believe that how well new hires fit with your company culture and get along with their colleagues is more important than their past experience. If they’ve got the right attitude, they can pick up the skills they need. Experience in a similar role isn’t always the best predictor of success—behaviour is what really drives performance.

That’s where traditional recruitment agencies can miss the mark; they’re too focused on CVs and experience. We start by defining what the ‘right person’ looks like for your team. Then, using a variety of channels, we widen our search to include behaviours, not just skills. Our selection process zeroes in on what candidates can truly bring to the table.

Did you know that a third of new hires leave their job within the first 90 days? It’s a sobering statistic that highlights the importance of not just recruiting the right people but also ensuring they’re onboarded effectively. Poor recruitment might be one part of the problem, but poor onboarding can be just as detrimental.
Your recruitment process shouldn’t stop at the job offer. The moment a new hire accepts your offer, their employee experience begins. Effective onboarding is crucial to setting them up for success. That’s where we come in.

Ever feel like you’ve got the wrong people in the wrong roles? It’s probably not their fault—sometimes it’s just a case of square pegs in round holes. Everyone has different behaviours and personalities, and the key to success is making sure your people’s strengths align with what your business needs. That’s where psychometric—or behavioural—testing comes in.
Psychometric testing gives you deep insights into how your team members think, work, and interact with others. It’s not just about skills; it’s about understanding the behaviours and traits that drive success in your organisation. By using psychometric testing, you can make smarter hiring decisions, build stronger teams, and help your people grow.
