We are not a CV supplier.
Sending CVs is easy. Understanding why a previous hire did not work, what the team actually needs and which candidates will genuinely commit takes longer, and produces appointments that last.
What working with us looks like
Clear terms, honest market advice and a consultant who stays with the assignment from brief to start date.
We learn the requirement first
A proper briefing conversation covering the project, the team and the person who will genuinely fit it, not just a job title and a salary.
Established candidate networks
Years of working the same disciplines and regions means most introductions come from people we already know, not job board responses.
Permanent and temporary
Freelance cover for a live programme and permanent hires for the long term, from the same consultant.
Quality over volume
You receive a small number of relevant candidates with context, not a stack of CVs to filter yourself.
Honest market insight
If a salary is below market or a brief is unrealistic, we will say so at the start rather than three months in.
Relationships that last
Much of our work comes from managers who have hired through the same ACR consultant across several employers.
Four stages, agreed with you before we start
- 01
Understand
We start with the detail, the scheme, the team, the reporting line and the package, before anyone's CV is discussed.
- 02
Advise
Honest feedback on salary levels, availability and what the market will realistically deliver.
- 03
Introduce
A short, considered shortlist. Candidate details are only ever sent with that individual's consent.

Client feedback
I've hired through the same consultant at ACR across two different employers now. They understand the type of site manager who works for us, so we see three or four genuinely relevant people rather than twenty.
They were honest with me about what the role was and what it wasn't. Nothing went to the client until I said yes, which is not how every agency operates.
