Recruiting across Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire since 2005
For Employers

Recruitment support that works like an extension of your team.

Every Equation client has a dedicated relationship manager and consultant, so whether you need a daily update on advert performance or advice on salary banding, expert help is one call away.

How We Work

A specialist at both ends.

Our 180 degree model means consultants focus purely on finding exceptional people while a dedicated relationship team looks after you.

  • A dedicated relationship manager and consultant. One team that knows your account, your sites and your standards, so you never have to explain yourself twice.
  • We know your business inside out. We take the time to understand your culture, not just the job spec, and match the right experience and the right personality fit.
  • Daily advert updates and salary banding advice. Honest market intelligence on what your roles are worth and how your campaigns are performing, whenever you want it.
Our Ethos

Talent you will not find on a job board.

Most good talent is not looking. The best people are busy performing, building relationships and delivering results. They are not scrolling job boards, and they may be quietly ready for the right opportunity. So we go looking for them.

Our consultants source and headhunt off market talent as standard. No algorithms and no shortcuts, just experienced recruiters who take the time to know your business. Unlike a traditional search firm we work on contingency terms, so there is no fee unless we place.

Headhunting as standard

To entice great people who are not actively looking, be prepared to be flexible on salary and benefits. The right hire repays it many times over. And when the open market is the right route, our classic contingency attract and select service runs alongside.

Flexible where it counts

It is all part of our 3C = e formula: client plus candidate plus consultant equals Equation. Every person is equal in our process, and that is how we deliver the right recruitment formula every time.

The recruitment formula
Zero Risk

No placement, no fee.

Working with Equation costs nothing until we place. No advertising fees, no screening hours, no retainers and no risk.

  • You pay only on results. We carry the cost of sourcing, advertising and screening. If we do not place, you do not pay a penny.
  • Three month replacement guarantee. Every permanent placement is backed by a guarantee that means it. If it does not work out, we replace.
  • A record to back it up. Since 2005 we have maintained a 99.7% permanent placement success rate.
