Our process
Our process is deliberately human, supported by intelligent technology, and shaped around the details that matter most to you.
To find the right people, we focus on creating the right connections, not just filling roles.
01
Initial consultation
We meet to understand your needs, goals, and values, ensuring every search starts with clarity.
02
Candidate sourcing
We reach out to top people across networks, databases, and executive channels. Every hire is sourced directly, not pulled from ads or databases.
03
Candidate screening
We assess skills, experience, and capability, judgement, and fit. Only the most suitable candidates progress.
04
Candidate presentation
We provide a curated shortlist with CVs, portfolios, and insights for informed decision-making.
05
Interview coordination
We schedule meetings, collect feedback, and ensure a smooth, transparent process.
06
Negotiation
We facilitate fair, clear discussions on offers and packages, supporting both parties.
07
Onboarding
We assist with integration, check in regularly, and ensure the placement thrives long term.
Our services
Not only do we make sure our people are the right fit for our clients, but that we’re the right fit too. That’s why we offer two modes of working together.
Exclusivity
You engage The People Place exclusively to fill a specific position. I work solely on your search and take full accountability for the outcome, end to end.
Customised approach
We go deep on the brief before going to market. That means understanding the role, the team, and what good actually looks like in practice, so the shortlist is built on judgement, not keywords.
FLEXIBLE TIMELINE
With one clear focus, the process runs calmly and properly. Outreach is considered, screening is thorough, and decisions are made with clarity rather than pressure.
HIGHER LEVEL OF SUCCESS
Exclusive work leads to stronger alignment and better retention. Fewer interviews. Clearer decisions. Hires that stand up well beyond the first few months.
Non-exclusivity
A contingent search allows you to engage more than 1 recruiter at the same time. It can suit roles where the brief is well defined and speed is the priority.
Rushed turnaround
Because recruiters are competing, the process often moves quickly. The trade off is lighter screening and less depth in candidate conversations.
COMPETITION AND BUSINESS IMAGE
When multiple recruiters approach the market at once, candidates notice. It can create noise, mixed messaging, and a sense of urgency that does not always reflect the role or the business.
COMPETITIVE NATURE
Strong candidates may be contacted several times about the same role. That increases pressure and reduces your control over how the opportunity is positioned and perceived.
For the best results, we recommend partnering with us on a retained basis. However, we’re always open to discussing a structure that works for you.
Our values
At The People Place, we’re in the business of people. That’s why our business values are so important. In fact, we live and breathe them.
01
Human Experience
We’ve worked inside the industry – hiring, leading, and growing creative, marketing, and digital teams. We understand how these roles think, what good looks like, and how to spot potential beyond the CV.
02
Intelligent Search
Advanced AI tools allow us to scan the full market across hundreds of candidates, not just those actively looking. The process is fast, focused, and quietly comprehensive.
03
Depth of Network
Over 15 years of relationships across agencies, brands, and leadership teams mean we can reach the right people quickly. People you won’t discover through ads or databases.
04
Proactive, not passive
We never post job ads. Every role is headhunted. Every search starts fresh. Every shortlist reflects the most relevant and interesting people in the market.
05
Partnership with precision
We work as an embedded part of our clients’ teams, focused on long term success.
