What Permanent Recruitment Is
Permanent recruitment is a service where an agency sources, screens, and presents candidates for long-term employment directly with your business. The focus is on hiring individuals who will stay, perform, and contribute to the organisation over time rather than filling short-term gaps.
Unlike temporary recruitment, which is designed for short-term cover or fluctuating demand, permanent recruitment supports roles that are critical to team structure, operational continuity, and long-term growth. The goal is stability, retention, and role alignment.
This service is not based on posting vacancies and waiting for applications. A permanent recruitment agency actively searches the market, engages passive candidates, and applies structured screening before presenting a shortlist. This reduces time waste and lowers the risk of poor hiring decisions.

Employer FAQs
Common questions employers ask before using permanent recruitment.
Clear answers on cost, speed, compliance, and risk.
1. How does permanent recruitment pricing work?
Permanent recruitment fees are agreed in advance and are typically based on the role scope, seniority, and hiring requirements. Pricing reflects the level of search, screening, and support involved rather than simple candidate placement.
4. How is permanent recruitment different from temporary recruitment?
Permanent recruitment focuses on direct, long-term employment and retention. Temporary recruitment is designed for short-term cover or fluctuating demand and does not involve long-term placement.
2. How long does permanent recruitment usually take?
Timelines vary depending on the role, sector, and candidate availability. Permanent recruitment generally takes longer than temporary hiring because the focus is on long-term fit, screening depth, and decision quality.
5. Do you screen candidates before presenting them?
Yes. Candidates are assessed for suitability against the role requirements before being shortlisted. Employers receive a focused shortlist rather than unfiltered applications.
3. What happens if a permanent hire does not work out?
Replacement support may be available under agreed terms. This is discussed during the engagement stage so expectations are clear before recruitment begins.
6. Can permanent recruitment support multiple hires?
Yes. Permanent recruitment can support single hires or multiple roles where businesses are scaling or building teams over time.
