A small team that does the work itself.
h2 Recruit has been independently owned since 2011. We're a tight team of sector specialists — no generalists, no bought databases, no bulk CV sends. We work the way good recruitment has always worked: by knowing our sectors deeply, building long relationships, and being rigorous about every placement. Your consultant will have worked in your sector. They'll have likely placed people into your competitors. They'll tell you when a brief is wrong, when the market is tight, or when the salary won't land the person you need. The conversation is the work.
02
Honest conversations
We'll tell you when the brief is wrong, the salary is wrong, or the role is harder than you think. Straight talk, every time.
03
Tight shortlists
Three to five strong candidates, each spoken to at length. No bulk-emailed CVs. No spray-and-pray.
04
Replacement guarantees
12-week guarantee on contingent placements; 26 weeks on retained. We stand behind the quality of every placement.
