How an engagement runs

The sector determines the sourcing lens and the credential-verification depth. The workflow stays the same across all twelve sectors: a structured brief, a considered NI search, a ranked shortlist and end-to-end offer support. Same consultant from intake through day-90 follow-up.

1. NI-fluent brief

We arrive at intake ready. We already know the sector, the credential ecosystem, the NI package bands in GBP, the passive-market context for the discipline and seniority in Belfast, and the Dublin cross-border and GB expat market for the role. Your time on intake is spent on your business, not on our education.

2. Discreet, considered search

We approach our NI network and the passive market. Client identity is withheld until you give express permission. Approaches to a candidate’s current employer are coordinated with you before we make them, particularly where the Belfast market is small enough that a sloppy approach signals to competitors immediately.

3. Ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates per brief, credential-verified, with written notes on each. Current package in GBP, notice period, garden-leave position, non-compete status and any competing processes documented before introduction. We rank the shortlist and explain our ranking. We do not send a stack of unfiltered CVs.

4. Offer support

We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, structure the offer, handle counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics. Follow-up check-ins at day thirty and day ninety to make sure the placement is settling in the NI market.

What sits outside our scope

Roles that need a specialist desk in a discipline we do not cover deeply. If you ask us for something outside the twelve sectors above, we will say so directly and refer you out with pleasure. Depth of focus inside each sector is what makes our shortlists arrive faster and better matched than a generalist NI agency can manage.
