We built R&B around a quiet idea: recruitment, done properly, looks more like advisory than vendor management. The relationship endures because the conduct does.
R&B Recruitment is a UK-wide permanent recruitment firm. We work with employers who want their recruiter to behave like an advisor - candid about what the market shows, willing to push back on a brief that won't attract the right person, attentive enough to catch a wobble in a counter-offer before it derails the hire.
Our consultants come from professional and commercial backgrounds. They have run desks, hired into them, and stayed long enough in their fields to have a view that matters.
One consultant per client. The recruiter who picks up your search owns it from intake to start date. No handoffs.
Counsel before candidates. The brief is calibrated, the offer is shaped, the interview process is pressure-tested - all before the first CV lands.
Skin in the game. Direct-hire placements come with a 90-day replacement guarantee. The economics make us care about the long-term fit.
From owner-managed SMEs hiring their first finance lead, up to established UK businesses replacing a board-level appointment with discretion. Same engagement model, scaled to fit.
