The discipline determines the sourcing lens and the credential-verification depth. The workflow stays the same across all twelve disciplines: a structured brief, a discreet search, a ranked shortlist and offer support through to the start date. Same consultant from intake through day-90 follow-up.
We arrive at intake ready. We already know the discipline, the credential ecosystem (IMI, ATA, DVSA, manufacturer training), the package bands in GBP across UK regions, the current market context for the role. Your time on intake goes on your business and the site you want to build.
We approach our network and the passive market. Client identity is withheld until you give express permission. Approaches to a candidate’s current employer are coordinated with you before we make them, particularly where the local automotive market is small enough that a sloppy approach signals to competitors.
Three to five candidates per brief, credential-verified, with written notes on each. Current package in GBP (base, bonus/commission, OTE, tool allowance), notice period, restrictive covenants, references and any competing processes documented before introduction. We rank the shortlist and explain the order.
We coordinate interviews, manage feedback, structure the offer, handle counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics. Follow-up check-ins at day thirty and day ninety to make sure the placement is settling on-site.
Roles that need a specialist desk we do not run. HGV driver-only recruitment (we recommend specialist driver desks); vehicle detailing and valeting operatives (we recommend specialist detailing recruiters); showroom cleaning and site-services roles. If you ask us for something outside the twelve automotive disciplines above, we will say so directly and refer you out with pleasure.
Submit a vacancy with the role, the site, the package band and the timeline. We will reply within one business day with a clear plan and a fee proposal.
