Ad-hoc recruitment
One hire.
When you need it.
Sometimes you just need one person, fast — without a retainer, a long contract, or the overhead of a full search process. That’s exactly what ad-hoc recruitment is for.

Why ad-hoc
No commitment. No compromise.
Ad-hoc recruitment gives you expert help for a single role without locking you into a long-term arrangement.
Fast to start
No lengthy onboarding. Brief us on the role and we start searching — usually the same day.
Zero commitment
No retainer, no monthly fee, no minimum spend. You engage us for one role — that’s it.
Same quality search
Ad-hoc doesn’t mean lower quality. You get the same sourcing, screening, and shortlisting we apply to every search.
Replacement guarantee
If the placed candidate doesn’t work out within the agreed period, we’ll replace them at no extra cost.
Perm or contract
Whether you need a permanent employee or a contractor to fill a gap, we cover both.
Any location
UK, Europe, Canada, USA — on-site, hybrid, or remote. We’ll find the right person wherever they are.
Common use cases
When ad-hoc recruitment makes sense
Unexpected vacancy
Someone hands their notice in and you need a replacement quickly — without spinning up a full retained search.
Project-based hire
You need a specialist contractor for a specific project with a defined start and end date.
Testing a new role
You’re creating a new position for the first time and want to hire before committing to a bigger talent strategy.
Maternity or sick cover
You need a skilled contractor to cover a gap while a team member is away — fast and with minimal admin.
Budget-limited search
You have a role to fill but aren’t ready to invest in a larger recruitment model. One-off is the right fit.
First hire
You’re a growing business making your first or second hire and just need straightforward, expert help.
How it works
Fast, simple, effective
We cut the admin and get straight to finding you the right person.
Brief the role
A quick call or email — tell us the role, the requirements, the timeline, and what a great hire looks like.
We get to work
We start searching immediately — job boards, headhunting, and our own pipeline of active candidates.
Shortlist delivered
You receive a shortlist of screened, qualified candidates — typically within days of the brief.
Interviews and offer
We coordinate interviews, gather feedback, and manage the offer process through to acceptance.
Hire made — guaranteed
You pay the fee on successful placement. The replacement guarantee kicks in from day one.
