Quick Answers

Common questions.

How quickly do you move?

Once I've taken a brief, initial shortlist within 5–7 working days. For retained searches, faster. I don't pad timelines to look busy.

Do you do contract placements?

No. Permanent only. This keeps the focus on long-term fit — and means we're both invested in the placement actually working out.

What's the rebate if someone leaves?

12-week sliding scale. Week 1–4: 100% refund. Week 5–8: 50%. Week 9–12: 25%. After 12 weeks, no rebate — but we stay in contact through notice period to reduce drop-off risk.

Do you work outside London?

Yes. Roles are typically London-based or hybrid, but we place across the UK and work with companies open to remote-first engineers.

I'm a candidate — is this free?

Yes. My fee is paid by the hiring company. Candidates pay nothing, ever.
