Three Habits We Keep

Discretion. Discipline. Delivery.

Recruitment done properly is recruitment done quietly, methodically, and with the kind of follow-through that holds up across years.

One Consultant Per Client

The recruiter who picks up your search owns it from intake to start date. No handoffs, no junior delegate, no "let me check with a colleague".

Counsel Before Candidates

The brief is calibrated, the offer is shaped, the interview process is pressure-tested before the first CV reaches your inbox.

Skin In the Game

Direct-hire placements come with a 90-day replacement guarantee. The economics are designed to keep us honest about long-term fit.

Disciplines

Ten fields we work properly.

Each discipline is led by a consultant who works that desk continuously, not a generalist taking the brief between other roles.

Office & Administration

EAs, office managers, administrative coordinators across UK SMEs and corporates.

Finance & Accountancy

Financial controllers, FP&A leads, management accountants and senior finance.

Commercial & Sales

BDMs, key account managers, sales directors and commercial leadership.

Marketing & Comms

Marketing managers, brand leads, content strategists, internal communications heads.

HR & People

HRBPs, talent acquisition, L&D specialists, reward and engagement leads.

Operations & Logistics

Operations managers, COOs, logistics planners, programme directors.

IT & Digital

IT support leads, digital project managers, infrastructure specialists.

Customer Services

CS managers, CX leads, retention specialists and escalation managers.

Project & Programme

Project managers, programme directors, change leads and PMO heads.

Senior Leadership

Director-level and C-suite searches, run discreetly and methodically.

Four Steady Steps

From brief to start date.

i.

Intake

One scoping conversation. Role, scorecard, market context, offer architecture.

ii.

Source

Targeted database, referral activation and discreet outbound. Warm channels first.

iii.

Shortlist

Three to five vetted candidates with motivation, salary and start-date notes.

iv.

Close

Offer support, counter-offer counsel, 30-60-90 day check-ins through to start date.

Where R&B Fits

One permanent appointment, or a whole department.

R&B Recruitment serves UK employers who treat recruitment as a long-term capability, not a transactional one. From owner-managed SMEs hiring their first head of finance, up to established UK businesses replacing a board-level appointment with discretion. Same engagement model, scaled to fit. One named consultant, calibrated brief, honest shortlist, 90-day replacement guarantee.

Direct-hire only. The kind of work that rewards judgment, patience and follow-through.
