From Risk to Results
The Power of Fit-First Hiring

Solution

This leading provider of thermal management solutions were growing their UK operation fast – but every hire carried risk. As a lean team of four, each new addition would shape capability, culture, and momentum. They needed high-calibre supply chain talent who could hit the ground running and grow with the business – not just fill a gap.

We placed three permanent hires; each aligned to the business’s evolving needs. But our role went deeper than recruitment. We worked closely with the team to understand their dynamic, define role expectations, and deliver shortlists that reflected more than just a skillset – they matched mindset too.

With every role, we helped the client hire with confidence:

  • No mis-hires
  • All placements retained
  • Cultural fit described as “spot on”

As a small business without in-house recruitment, they needed a partner who could own the process, reduce risk, and guide the search. Our pay-on-start model gave them the reassurance to move quickly – and our consultative approach helped shape the roles and the team itself.

The result: A 75% increase in headcount, long-term hires still delivering value, and a partnership built on clarity, fit, and trust.

Charlie really gets underneath of what we’re looking for – and that’s why every placement has worked. The cultural fit has been spot on every time, which makes a huge difference in a small, growing team. The success of the hires speaks for itself – no missteps, just long-term value delivered.
