Welcome
Supporting organisations with strategic recruitment and talent consultancy and empowering individuals through advanced job-search training and career transition support.
WHAT WE DO FOR EMPLOYES
Direct Hire Recruitment Partnership
Running an SME without a dedicated recruitment function creates real challenges: relying on agencies who don’t quite get your culture, paying fees that make you wince, and wondering why competitors seem to attract talent so easily.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve partnered with business leaders who want to take control of their hiring and see recruitment as a core part of their growth journey, not just a necessary function.
Recruitment Consultancy & Talent Strategy
Sometimes you don’t need us to recruit for you – you need expert guidance to improve your internal recruitment capability and build sustainable talent strategies.
We work at whatever level makes sense for your business: sometimes that means strategic conversations with leadership teams about long-term workforce planning, other times it’s rolling up our sleeves to train your managers and design processes that actually work.
Outplacement & Redundancy Support
Having to make employees redundant is no easy task, and it’s crucial that organisations handle the process in the best possible manner to maintain a positive, professional image and support departing staff with dignity.
House offers bespoke outplacement services tailored to your organisation’s needs and the seniority of the individuals affected. Our compassionate, practical approach helps ease the transition for departing employees whilst protecting your employer brand and maintaining team morale.
Traditional Recruitment Services
Whilst our main and most popular offering is the direct hire recruitment partnership, we appreciate that some organisations still prefer this more traditional approach.
This is your ‘traditional’ recruitment service for contract or permanent recruitment needs. You instruct House to source candidates who fit your criteria for skills, expertise and experience. We manage the entire process on your behalf from initial search through to offer negotiation.
WHY HOUSE?
Our approach is grounded in genuine partnership. We take the time to understand your organisation, your culture and your long-term goals. Whether we are running a recruitment campaign, supporting a governance appointment or improving internal capability, we work alongside your team with clarity, consistency and respect for how you operate.
House brings a perspective that bridges employers and jobseekers. Alongside our recruitment work, we deliver job search training with national prime providers and have supported more than 2,000 individuals on their job search journey. This gives us clear insight into what motivates people, how they interpret opportunities and what makes them want to engage. This understanding directly informs the job advertisements and recruitment content we create. We write to the human being behind the application, focusing on the purpose of the role, the work itself and the motivations that matter. This approach helps attract applicants who genuinely connect with what the role offers, rather than simply matching skills on paper.
We specialise in creating pattern disrupting job advertisements and recruitment content that stand out for the right reasons. Our creative approach is matched by a commitment to simplicity. We strip away unnecessary complexity in recruitment processes, communicate clearly and pick up the phone to speak with people. We do not hide behind systems, messages or automated processes. By combining insight, storytelling, direct engagement and practical efficiency, we help organisations cut through noise, communicate more authentically and reach candidates traditional methods often miss.
WHAT WE DO FOR JOB SEEKERS
What to expect
When you apply for a role through House, you can expect a clear, open and respectful experience. We understand that job seeking can feel uncertain, so our approach is built on transparency, communication and genuine support.
We keep you informed at every stage of the process, provide honest updates and ensure you understand timelines and next steps. If we believe a role is not the right fit, we will tell you. If there are areas you could strengthen, we will offer guidance. If you progress to interview, we prepare you so you can perform at your best.
