Working with phoster.
We work as an extension of our clients’ businesses, providing clarity and structure throughout the recruitment process.
Our Partnership.
Phoster co offers a considered range of recruitment services designed to support businesses in making confident hiring decisions.
Our approach prioritises alignment, clarity and long-term fit over volume or rushed outcomes.
-
Flexible recruitment support when the right hire matters.
Contingent recruitment allows businesses to engage phoster to manage a search without upfront commitment. We begin with a considered brief and market mapping, identifying candidates who align with the role, the leadership style and the pace of the business.
Fees are only payable once a successful placement is made. This model works well for businesses who require flexibility while still expecting a structured and thoughtful recruitment process.
-
A dedicated search for critical or confidential hires.
For senior, complex or time-sensitive roles, retained recruitment allows phoster to commit focused time and resources to a search from the outset. This model provides a structured process including deeper market mapping, proactive candidate engagement and close advisory support throughout the hiring process.
Retained searches are best suited to roles where alignment, discretion and speed of execution are particularly important.
-
Practical advice on hiring, onboarding and team structure.
Phoster co also provides recruitment consultancy for businesses who may not yet require a full search process but need guidance around hiring decisions.
This can include support with role scoping, salary benchmarking, interview structure, onboarding strategy or broader advice around building effective business support teams. The focus is on helping businesses make informed hiring decisions that support long-term team stability.
-
Understanding the market before a role goes live.
Talent mapping provides businesses with a clear view of the available candidate landscape before beginning a formal search. Phoster co identifies potential candidates, salary expectations and market movement within a specific role or function.
