  • Will the service be tailored to your organisation rather than placed into a standard process?

    Our model is modular. A client can engage us for one specialist permanent hire, a temporary team, a contractor workforce, payroll support or a broader outsourced solution. Forty-two per cent of employers paid temporary workers above-market hourly rates, and 42% of assignments lasted one to two months.

  • Will one accountable consultant understand the role and reduce unsuitable applications?

    We appoint clear account ownership and connect it to specialist delivery teams. The consultant does not simply relay an order into a central process. Application relevance was the leading hiring challenge in our 2026 employer research at 27%, with overseas applications cited by a further 16%.

  • Will updates explain progress, obstacles and the real market response?

    Clients receive practical feedback on search activity, candidate interest, salary resistance, flexibility expectations and approval delays. We do not confuse activity with progress. A 97% public customer satisfaction figure supports our focus on communication and follow-through, but every live process still needs clear feedback timing.

  • Can the provider advise on the right flexible-workforce model and keep candidates engaged?

    More than 20% of staff in our 2026 research were working in temporary, contract, part-time or casual arrangements, and 48% of employers had used temp-to-perm. We help clients choose the model that fits the work and risk, then support communication, onboarding, payroll and contractor administration. More than 80,000 job seekers have been placed through the wider group, giving our teams extensive experience managing notice periods, counteroffers and commencement risk.

  • Will the service scale without becoming impersonal?

    people2people can support individual vacancies and larger workforce programs through bulk recruitment, CMO, RPO, MSP and outsourced payroll. Scale does not remove direct access to the people delivering the work. Sixty-four per cent of hiring managers had lost a candidate because of speed, making accountable follow-through commercially important.
