Hire recruiters who actually fit.
Hiring good recruiters is hard — they know every trick, and the wrong hire is expensive. We introduce experienced consultants with an honest read on billings, desk type and culture fit, from someone who understands recruiters because she is one.
A recruiter who interviews well isn’t always a recruiter who bills.
They sell themselves too well
Recruiters are trained to interview. Strong patter and a confident number don't guarantee a desk they can actually build and bill.
The billings don't translate
A big figure on a warm, established desk is a different thing from the same figure built cold. Context is everything, and it rarely shows on a CV.
The culture fit is off
Recruiters move for a reason, and land badly when the management style or desk doesn't match how they work. That's where good hires quietly unravel.
Three ways to work together
Named search
For a specific hire — a consultant on a particular desk, a manager to build a team. Mapped, discreet, and run properly.
- Market mapping
- Confidential approaches
- Honest shortlist
Discreet hire
When a hire can't be advertised — a replacement, a competitor's biller, a sensitive team build. Handled directly and quietly.
- No public advert
- Named handling
- Total discretion
Team build
When you're scaling a desk or opening a new one. One partner holding the whole picture instead of five briefs pulling apart.
- Coordinated hiring
- Consistent bar
- One point of contact
The best recruiters are never on a job board.
The consultant you want is billing well somewhere and not actively looking. Reaching them takes trust, discretion and a genuine understanding of what would make them move — built one honest conversation at a time.
We read billings, desk and motivation — not just a CV.
Behind every introduction sits a real read on how someone bills, the desk they thrive on, what drives them, and whether they’ll fit your culture. Fewer, better introductions — and honesty about the ones that don’t fit.
RecAura is new — deliberately. We’re taking on a small group of recruitment businesses and giving each one real attention.
If you’d rather work with a Rec2Rec partner who understands your desk than a supplier who forwards CVs, we should talk.
Tell us about the recruiter you need
A few lines is enough to begin. We’ll reply to arrange a short call about the desk, the numbers and the person — no obligation, no hard sell.
