Curated, not mass

Fewer, better-matched senior roles each week.

Positioned as a leader

Your CV rewritten for leadership roles, with results and scope made clear.

Senior roles in the UK

What a senior UK search needs that a general search does not

Many senior UK roles are filled through headhunters and never advertised. The advertised part of the market still matters: director and head-of roles on company portals, in the public sector and on executive job boards. That is the part we cover.

Senior candidates are usually still employed, often on a notice period of three months or more. We state your availability accurately and keep the search away from anyone you name.

Advertised senior roles

Head of, director and C-level roles from company portals, public bodies and executive job boards.

Exclusions respected

Your current employer, its group companies and any firm you list are never approached.

A leadership CV

Scope, budget, team size and results stated plainly, in two pages.

How it works

You approve. We apply. Every week.

What applies across the United Kingdom

Manchester has become the UK's second tech and digital hub, with MediaCity in Salford, a growing fintech and e-commerce scene, major employers such as the BBC, Booking.com, Autotrader and the Co-op, and large professional services and NHS organisations across Greater Manchester.

Salaries are below London but so are costs, and hybrid working is common, which widens the roles you can realistically take. We source across Manchester, Salford, Stockport and the wider conurbation, tailor your CV to each posting and submit only the applications you have approved.

Read client success stories Read the service agreement

Will my current employer find out I am looking?

We never apply to your current employer or any company you exclude, and applications go only to roles you approve.

What level of role do you treat as executive in the UK?

Head of function, director, managing director and C-level roles. Tell us the level you are targeting at onboarding.

Can I exclude certain companies?

Yes. Add exclusions during onboarding and we will never apply to them.

Do you handle executive search firms?

We apply to advertised senior roles and company portals. Retained search firms run their own processes, which we can help you prepare for.

Do you only apply in Manchester?

No. We cover Manchester city centre, Salford Quays (MediaCity), Spinningfields and the rest of Manchester, and you can add any other location in the UK or abroad to your targets at any time.

Can you focus on employers that sponsor visas?

Yes. When you tell us you need sponsorship, we prioritise roles from employers on the UK register of licensed sponsors and flag them on your weekly list.

Do you apply through NHS Jobs and Civil Service Jobs?

Yes, where the role fits your profile. These portals ask for detailed supporting statements, which we tailor to the person specification for each role.

Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?

Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.
