Some of the problems we solve.
Quality of hire.
We design and manage your recruitment process, avoiding the common pitfalls that add time and unnecessary hurdles to finding and securing the person you need.
Through smarter sourcing, AI-driven targeting, and streamlined assessments we accelerate selection, while structured onboarding minimises delays.
Pre-onboarding engagement and counteroffer mitigation keep candidates committed, preventing last-minute dropouts. Every step of our process helps to reduce hiring bottlenecks and improve efficiency.
Time to hire.
By following our 7 step methodology, applying The Gravitate Baseline, proactive workforce planning, market mapping, and data-driven sourcing we ensure quality of hire.
Rigorous assessments, including competency-based interviews and technical evaluations, ensure candidates have the right skills and cultural fit.
Beyond selection, structured onboarding advice accelerates new hire performance, while ongoing check-ins and retention strategies support long-term success, reducing hiring misalignment and failed hires.
Cost of hire.
Our process reduces cost of hire by minimising inefficiencies and preventing costly hiring mistakes. Proactive talent mapping and targeted sourcing reduce reliance on expensive last-minute recruitment, while streamlined assessments prevent wasted time on unqualified candidates. Faster hiring cycles also lower vacancy costs and productivity losses.
By improving retention through structured onboarding and engagement, we help you avoid the high costs of re-hiring and training replacements. By using our methodology encompassing a more efficient and strategic approach, you will optimise your recruitment spend.

How we work.
Pre hire discovery / strategy briefing
What does your current hiring process look like and what steps can we put in place to solve any issues you have?
Understanding the cultural and technical requirements of your candidate needs are a prerequisite before any search.
Pre hire preparation / develop your EVP
Now it's time to pull together all the bits we need before we go to market. We help you build out your EVP with a one page summary document, job specification and advert optimisation before we begin our search.
Pre sourcing - research & market mapping
We utilise our networks, and AI across all digital mediums to identify a pool of active and passive candidates who fit the agreed brief. We aim to unearth all possible candidates from a range of sources, leaving no stone unturned at the research stage.
Sourcing - outreach / approach
We begin to approach the stand out candidates identified in the research stage, encouraging them to engage with our process.
Shortlist presentation
We present you with a shortlist of candidates that closely match our agreed criteria. We aim for 3 or 4 standout individuals but this isn't always possible. We will only ever present you with people we know you will want to meet. Quality is our only metric at this stage.
Offer management
We will ensure all candidates are well briefed, diaries are managed to ensure a smooth interview process as well as providing quality feedback and offer management.
The Gravitate Baseline
We rigorously apply five assessment criteria to each and every candidate we introduce to you. We call it the Gravitate Baseline.
This helps us ensure we improve your time to hire, quality of hire and overall cost of hire.
