Make the way you
hire a competitive advantage.
Our seven-step hiring methodology helps you stand out in a competitive market. It gives you the confidence to hire the right people effectively, efficiently, and with a process that works now and future-proofs the way you hire.
Some of the problems we solve.
Quality of hire.
We design and manage your recruitment process to avoid the common pitfalls that slow hiring down. By removing unnecessary steps and obstacles, we help you secure the right person faster.
Smarter sourcing, AI powered targeting, and streamlined assessments speed up selection. Structured onboarding keeps the momentum going once a hire is made.
We keep candidates engaged through pre onboarding communication and manage the risk of counteroffers to prevent last minute dropouts. Every stage of our process is built to reduce delays, remove friction, and improve hiring efficiency.
Time to hire.
By following our seven step methodology and applying the Gravitate Baseline alongside proactive workforce planning, market mapping, and data driven sourcing, we deliver consistent quality of hire.
We use rigorous assessments including competency based interviews and technical evaluations to ensure candidates possess the right skills and fit your company culture.
Our support goes beyond selection. Structured onboarding guidance accelerates new hire performance, while ongoing check ins and retention strategies reduce hiring misalignment and prevent failed hires.
Cost of hire.
Our process cuts recruitment costs by eliminating inefficiencies and preventing costly hiring mistakes. Proactive talent mapping and targeted sourcing reduce dependence on expensive last-minute hiring, while streamlined assessments save time by focusing only on qualified candidates. Faster hiring cycles help lower vacancy costs and minimise productivity losses.
We also improve retention through structured onboarding and ongoing engagement, helping you avoid the high expense of re-hiring and training replacements. By adopting our methodology, a more efficient and strategic approach, you will optimise your recruitment spend and get better value from every hire.
Sector specialists.
We recruit exclusively within Finance and Accountancy, Finance Transformation, and Risk and Compliance.
It is all we do. By focusing solely on these markets, we stay fully immersed in what is happening across the industry, offering consultative advice built on deep experience and real time market insight.
We have successfully placed roles across the full finance spectrum. From Finance Analysts and Financial Controllers to Internal Auditors and Treasury Managers and many roles in between. We understand the skills, structure, and mindset needed at every level.
Our 7-step methodology.
Pre hire discovery / strategy briefing
What does your current hiring process look like and what steps can we take to improve it?
Before we begin any search, we take time to fully understand your technical requirements, your culture, and the expectations of your ideal candidate. This is the foundation for every successful hire.
From there, we help you design a process that works. One that avoids common pitfalls, engages the right talent, and reflects your brand at every stage.
Pre hire preparation / develop your EVP
Before we begin any search, we help you get everything in place to attract the right talent.
We work with you to define and strengthen your employee value proposition, and create a one page summary that brings your opportunity to life. We also review and refine the job specification and optimise your advert to ensure it performs well in the market.
With the right foundations in place, we are ready to begin a search that delivers.
Pre sourcing - research & market mapping
We combine the strength of our networks with AI and digital tools to identify a full pool of active and passive candidates who match your brief.
At the research stage, we leave no stone unturned. Our goal is to uncover every relevant candidate from a wide range of sources, ensuring you have access to the best available talent, not just the most visible.
Sourcing - outreach / approach
Once we identify stand out candidates through our research, we begin direct outreach to encourage meaningful engagement with your opportunity.
Our approach is tailored and consultative, designed to spark interest and open up conversations with people who may not be actively looking but are the right fit for your business.
Shortlist presentation
We present you with a shortlist of candidates who closely match the criteria we have agreed together.
Our aim is to provide three or four standout individuals, though quality always comes before quantity. We will only introduce candidates we believe you will genuinely want to meet. People who not only meet the brief but also have the potential to make a real impact in your business. At this stage, quality is our only metric.
Offer management
We know the offer stage is where great hiring decisions can either come together seamlessly or fall apart. That’s why we handle it with care. From advising on competitive packages to managing expectations and navigating negotiations, we make sure both sides feel informed and confident every step of the way. Our role is to keep the process transparent, positive, and human.
Onboarding
Our support doesn’t stop once the offer is signed. We stay close through the onboarding period to make sure everything gets off to the best possible start. That means keeping in touch with both client and candidate, checking progress, and helping to smooth out any early challenges. It’s about setting the tone for long-term success — making sure your new hire feels confident, supported, and ready to make an impact from day one.
The Gravitate Baseline.
We rigorously apply five assessment criteria to every candidate we introduce.
This process, which we call the Gravitate Baseline, ensures consistency and quality in every hire. By using this approach, we help improve your time to hire, quality of hire, and overall cost of hire, making your recruitment more efficient and effective.
