‘Who are you guys?’

We’re SPS of course – a Search Firm placing into niche sectors such as Agrochemicals, Food & Beverage, Speciality Chemicals, Animal Nutrition & Health and Luxury Fashion. We were founded in 2002 and now are a multi-million pound business with 3 offices in UK and Hong Kong. If you’re looking to move away from conventional contingent recruitment and into a highly specialised Search function, then we’d love you to have a read about us.

^^ Hello, here we are. ^^

‘Sounds great, what makes a Search firm different’

Don’t worry, a lot of recruiters we speak to don’t know the exact differences. Here’s what you can expect… We work following a thorough 20 working day search cycle. The cycles work like this: Step 1: Utilise exhaustive research methods to identify long lists of potential mid to senior level candidates operating in the most respected companies. Methods stretch far further than a simple Linkedin trawl. Step 2: Build solid relationships with potential candidates. This is done by hosting /attending events, publishing interesting collateral, starting intelligent conversations. Far more than spamming individuals with poorly written job specs. Step 3: Introducing high level candidates that have been taken through our bespoke screening process. Our clients requirements are always our first priority. Step 4: Work directly with client and candidate to ensure smooth interview process and offer negotiation. Offering useful advice at all times.

These times they are a changing...

We're here for you. Here's what we are doing to help meet the challenges of working today...

Flexible home working

Our retention rate is 95% Pretty decent, eh?

‘Oh wow. Sounds lucrative!’

You bet. On average we find recruiters are happier because we work a retained basis meaning you earn commission before a project even starts and with salary levels on average 100k+ the commission is great. But more importantly we are seen as real industry expert, adding genuine value to our clients recruitment strategy. Over 95% of our business is outside the UK, so you’ll get to speak with and learn many international cultures. And who doesn’t like international travel to meet customers!

‘Is it hard?’

Define hard. You have to be more thorough than a typical agency recruiter. If you’re comfortable sitting on social media finding candidates, this is not the job for you. We need out side of the box thinkers, hard workers and those with a commercial awareness and flair. And with every recruitment role, be happy in a headset.
