Contract retail specialists.
Deployed in 72 hours.

We place contract specialists only — not permanent hires. That's a deliberate choice: contract deployment is faster, lower risk, and more flexible for retail brands dealing with specialist gaps. We don't send CVs until we understand your programme. Our screening is retail domain-specific: we know what a Salesforce Commerce Cloud Architect actually does, what questions separate a good candidate from a great one. Most agencies match keywords. We match context. Our average time to first shortlist is 48 hours for specialist retail contract roles.

From the moment we receive a brief (on a 15-minute call), we map it to our specialist network and begin active screening. Our first shortlist — 2 to 3 vetted, relevant profiles — reaches you within 48 hours. For most specialist retail roles, interviews are happening within 72 hours. For contract placements, the specialist can start within a week. This depends on the complexity of the mandate, but it's our standard target and we hit it most of the time.

Yes — and we often work alongside existing panels. Most companies engage us for the specialist or contract mandates that their PSL vendors struggle with: niche roles, urgent gaps, or areas outside the standard panel's expertise. Contract hiring in particular often sits outside PSL governance. There's no disruption to your existing arrangements.

That's our preferred starting point. One role. You evaluate the shortlist quality and speed. If it works, we scale. There's no minimum commitment, no retainer, and no obligation to continue. We want to earn your trust on the first mandate — not lock you into a contract before we've proven ourselves.

Contract specialists are billed on a monthly management fee for the duration of the deployment. There's no placement fee, no retainer upfront, and no lock-in beyond the agreed contract period. When the need ends, you simply close the contract — clean and simple. Specific rates depend on the seniority and specialisation of the role. We're happy to walk you through numbers on a 15-minute call once we understand your specific mandate.
