  • Will candidate care be visible in the process rather than only in brand language?

    We set clear expectations, keep candidates updated, provide feedback and stay close to motivations throughout the process. Industry candidate-care recognition and a public 97% customer satisfaction rate support that commitment. 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 still perform when the market is competitive?

    Our 2026 report found offers failed because salary was too low for 42% of job seekers, communication was poor for 41%, candidate experience was poor for 35%, the process was too long for 31% and a better offer appeared for 24%. 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 you receive personal service backed by meaningful candidate reach?

    people2people combines direct consultant relationships with more than 1.35 million candidates, over 80,000 job seekers placed and 13 group offices. Poor communication contributed to 41% of failed offers in our 2026 job-seeker research, showing why clear ownership matters throughout the process.

  • Can the agency support multiple functions and employment types?

    Our specialist teams recruit permanent, temporary and contract roles across the major professional functions. The client can also access temporary cover, payroll, contractor management and bulk recruitment. The service can extend from recruitment into bulk hiring, CMO, HR consulting, MSP, outsourced payroll, RPO and special projects.

  • Will support continue after the candidate accepts?

    We remain involved through notice periods, commencement and post-placement check-ins, and can provide payroll or contractor support where relevant. People-first recruitment should protect the outcome, not end when the offer is accepted. Employer hiring confidence was 48% and job-seeker confidence 58%, so candidates may remain active even when an employer believes the process is progressing well.
