The UK's Fairest Recruitment
Terms of Business

Transparent fees. Genuine guarantees. No small print designed to catch you out. Our terms have been built for long-term partnerships — not one-off transactions.

Why Our Terms Stand Apart

Most recruitment agencies use generic, off-the-shelf terms written to protect the agency — not the client. Ours are different. Written by people who have spent years working inside renewable energy and building services businesses, our terms reflect how the sector actually works.

The result is a document that is clear, fair and commercially sensible — accepted by some of the UK's largest contractors, developers and FM businesses without amendment.

What's Included

Every clause has been written with the client's interests in mind.

No Hidden Fees

Our fee structure is transparent and agreed upfront. No surprise charges, no ambiguous clauses — just a clear, fair arrangement from day one.

Rebate Period Up to 12 Weeks

We stand behind every placement. If a candidate leaves within the rebate window, you receive a proportional refund — no questions asked.

Replacement Guarantee

Should a placement not work out, we will find a replacement at no additional cost. We are invested in long-term outcomes, not one-off transactions.

Exclusive & Retained Options

For senior or business-critical roles, our retained and exclusive terms give you dedicated resource, structured timelines and full market coverage.

GDPR Compliant

All candidate data is handled in full compliance with UK GDPR. Our terms include clear data-processing provisions so you are covered from the outset.

Volume & Campaign Pricing

Hiring at scale? We offer preferential rates for volume campaigns and project ramp-ups, with agreed SLAs and a dedicated delivery team.
