Flexible In-house Recruitment on Your Terms
The key to scaling any business successfully is getting the right people in the right places. But if you’ve just secured your next round of investment, you need to get the right people in place quickly.
Relying on recruitment agencies to build departments can be incredibly costly. But what if you don’t have the time or the need to build a full time in-house function while you scale? That’s where we come in. Our flexible model means you have access to a dedicated in-house recruiter when you need it, whether that’s a couple of days a week or just a couple of hours a month.
The Small Consultancy was created to combine the speed of a recruitment agency with the benefits of having mature internal structures and processes. We have the knowledge and experience to deliver top-quality candidates that drive your business forward, while also creating a sustainable recruitment model for the future.
