“You are not a CV in a pile. You are a person with a story, ambitions and a next step worth getting right.”

Our promise to candidates

What to expect

Personal support, from start to finish.

One person, throughout

You'll deal with Alexia directly — someone who knows your story and is easy to reach.

Understanding your aspirations

We talk about what you want next, not just what you've done before: the work, the people, the balance and the direction.

Honest insight into employers

Before any interview, you'll know about the business, the team and the role — so you can decide with confidence.

Preparation and feedback

Help preparing for interviews, and honest, constructive feedback afterwards — whatever the outcome.

Permanent opportunities

Roles with businesses across Farnham, Surrey and Hampshire, many of which come through relationships rather than adverts.

Temporary work

Flexible assignments that fit around your life, with clear briefings and reliable communication.

Contract roles

Fixed-term and interim opportunities for experienced professionals.

Discretion

Your details are never shared with an employer without your agreement. Searching while employed? We understand.

Candidate FAQs

Good questions to ask.

Does it cost anything to register?
No. Our service to candidates is free. Under UK law, employment agencies cannot charge work-seekers a fee for finding them work.
Will my CV be sent to employers without my permission?
Never. We'll always talk to you about a specific opportunity and get your agreement before your details are shared with any employer.
What happens after I register?
Alexia reviews every registration herself. If your experience fits a current or upcoming role, she'll call you to talk it through. If not right now, your details stay on file (in line with our privacy notice) for when the right opportunity comes up.
I'm happy in my job — should I still register?
Many people do. Registering simply means that if something genuinely worth considering comes along, you'll hear about it — discreetly.
Can I update or remove my details?
Yes, at any time. Just get in touch and we'll update or delete your information. Your rights are explained in our candidate privacy notice.
Do you offer interview preparation?
Where we introduce you to a role, Alexia will help you prepare — the format, the people you'll meet and what they're looking for — and give you honest feedback afterwards.

Let's talk about what comes next.

If you'd rather have a conversation first, Alexia is always happy to talk.
