Insights coming soon.

We haven't published anything yet. When we do, it will be practical, plain-English guidance drawn from real briefs, with no filler.

Topics we're planning

  • Must-haves and nice-to-haves: writing a role brief that finds the right people. Why a short, honest list of true must-haves widens the field without lowering the bar, and how to be precise about clearance, location, salary and timeline.
  • Hiring for security-cleared roles: what employers should plan for. Who sponsors a clearance, the levels at a glance (including TS-PA, formerly PV), 'must hold' versus 'able to obtain', and planning timelines honestly.
  • Retained or contingent? Choosing how to run a permanent search. How our two permanent search models work, when each one suits, and how the 12-week rebate applies.
