All executive recruitment companies say pretty much the same things about why they are different - We don't. We just give you nine FACTS that actually make us better and have led us to the position of market leader in senior level marketing and commercial management recruitment.

• We don't send out a senior consultant to take the brief only to have the assignment passed on to a junior researcher. With us, you deal with who you meet - a senior consultant with at least 8 years' experience who will not only know about marketing, they will be an expert in your sector.
  
  
• We don't go away and take three weeks to produce a ninety-page report re-iterating everything you already told us. We don't feel this adds value.
  
  
• We don't immediately recommend an expensive and self-promoting, national press advertisement because in most instances we do not need to. We know our market and the vast majority of people within our specialist disciplines- that's what you are paying for isn't it?
  
  
• We don't disappear for 10 weeks whilst "the shortlist is being composed". We generally produce a fully qualified shortlist within three weeks, because we know our target audience.
  
  
• We don't rely on formal pre-scripted references supplied by the candidate. We take up informal references from people who will have worked with them to get a real picture of what they are like. We also provide all CVs with a concise but full and factual assessment of the candidate's personality and skills along with other salient information pertinent to their application.
  
  
• We don't spread ourselves thinly across all disciplines. We focus on marketing and sales. We appointed over 50 people into marketing and sales appointments carrying salaries of £60,000 - £125,000 in 2003 alone - so we can prove we know what we are doing.
  
  
• We don't give up when issues arise along the way. We stick to what you pay us to do. Consequently our completion rate for retained assignments at the executive level is over 93%.
  
  
• We don't work with poor calibre clients. We are well known for working with a significant number of FTSE 100 companies and the majority of the UK's leading brand owners, so we attract a large number of speculative enquiries from the highest calibre marketing professionals allowing us fast and ready access to a receptive audience.
  
  
• We don't take the money and run by charging you 70% of the fees upfront. We gear most of our fees towards a successful completion. After all you are paying us to make appointments, not produce shortlists.
