Understanding our approach
Our retained model allows you to access senior recruitment expertise on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis without the cost or commitment of a full time internal talent function or per hire agency fees.
Support can be adjusted up or down giving you the freedom to use us when you need it and step away when you don’t.
Some clients engage with us for short term project based support while others choose longer term advisory partnerships and many move between the two as their business evolves.
This approach keeps you firmly in control of costs while ensuring you have access to experienced strategic support exactly where it adds the most value.
Whether the focus is hiring, talent strategy, interview frameworks, onboarding or retention the support is always tailored to your goals, pace and stage of growth.
What our clients ask
Do you charge agency
placement fees?
No. We operate on a retained partnership model, meaning clients don’t pay per hire. Instead they gain ongoing access to senior talent expertise designed to reduce long term hiring costs and improve retention.
Do I have to commit to full
recruitment support?
No. Businesses can engage with us for a
range of services from consultancy and advisory support through to full recruitment delivery. Our services can be accessed on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis allowing you to step back when the support is no longer required.
We have our own internal team can you help with project support?
We often work alongside internal teams, providing additional expertise, structure or capacity where needed. The aim is to compliment and strengthen what’s already in place. By utilising us on a project basis, you remove the per hire fees.
Can support change as my
business grows?
Absolutely. Our approach is designed to be flexible with your business needs, ensuring you receive the right level of support at each stage of growth.
Will you help us build our own
internal talent mapping capability?
Yes. A key part of our work is helping businesses put processes, frameworks
and talent foundations in place so they
become stronger over time.
What makes your approach different?
We focus on partnership, structure and long term outcomes not quick wins or transactions. Sometimes that means hiring; sometimes it means stepping back and building the right foundations first.
Do you work across specific
industries?
Yes. Curated Talent has experience supporting businesses across a range of industries. Rather than specialising in a single sector, we focus on understanding each organisations unique needs, culture and stage of growth ensuring the approach is always relevant, thoughtful and tailored.
How is this different from a
recruitment agency?
We take a retained partnership led approach, focusing on long term hiring success rather than one off placements. Through the right frameworks and guidance we give businesses the confidence and capability to build teams with intention and ultimately to operate independently.
What does a discovery
call involve?
It’s a relaxed, no pressure conversation to understand your business, challenges and goals. It’s an opportunity to explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
