Solo Search was initially founded as a generalist Tech / IT recruiter to offer a one-stop shop solution across a wide range of roles. Over the years this has provided a solid platform to develop expertise in niche industry sectors, namely Health Tech.
Founded in 2004 as a one-person business, we’re still relatively small, which allows us to offer a personal approach to every client and candidate we meet. We get to know the people we work with so we can give the best possible advice – and deliver the best possible results.
Our close links in the industries we work with mean we know where the biggest challenges lie, and we’re ready to face them alongside our clients. When the going gets tough, we don’t give up.
Communicating with both clients and candidates is our key point of difference: as well as delivering the right results, we make it easy to work with us throughout the process. We know our clients are busy, so we’ll provide regular updates by phone or email without hassling them in between. We always keep candidates in the loop too, so they’re engaged and responsive to new opportunities as they arise.
We cover everything from guidance on market conditions and IR35 to a thorough review of our clients’ recruitment processes. We can help you look at visas, benchmark salaries, and write job descriptions for roles at all levels of the business. If you need to keep a role ‘under wraps’ while you fill it, that’s no problem – we are always happy to discuss how we can meet your business’s wider needs.
We are located in the rural village of East Keswick which is situated between Wetherby and Leeds, and recruit for roles across the whole of the UK. Our team members work in pairs with every client, so there is always someone on hand to answer questions, provide updates, or work hard to get the right candidate to your door.
Boutique independent recruitment consultancy proud to be approaching our 20th year in business. We are located in the rural village of East Keswick which is situated between Wetherby and Leeds, and recruit for roles across the whole of the UK. We provide candidate and client recruitment services throughout the UK.
Put it simply, we find people for jobs and jobs for people although we don’t think of it as just a ‘job’. It’s much more than that. We aim to positively impact someone’s career life path and provide a quality hire and team player for a company.
There are lots of other ‘value add’ services we provide which are further explained in the candidate and client services sections.
Permanent and contract recruitment (not ‘temps’) IT technical and non-technical roles (junior to Director level). Advice on market conditions, IR35, review/audit of recruitment processes, writing job descriptions, benchmarking of salaries, visas. ‘Under cover’ recruitment if you want to keep a particular role under wraps.
Most of our clients are either software vendors or technical consultancies and are longstanding clients we have built up relationships with over the years. Technically we serve the whole of the UK and focus on the Health Tech sector.
We are more interested in creating successful partnerships and placements rather than being sales driven ‘job fillers’. We don’t harass hiring managers but rather prefer a more consultative style with good 2-way communication. When the going gets tough, we don’t give up. We work in a 2-pair team so that we can share workload if someone is on holiday.
These days, we don’t rely on job applications but, instead, focus our efforts on proactive searching using our extensive database of candidates with specific industry experience and our curated networks, LinkedIn, and various external CV databases. We do occasionally partner up with other recruiters !!
In short, we are easy to do business with. To both candidates and clients, we aim to ‘give something back’. We are fair on fees, creative when it comes to tailoring a solution to a client’s individual needs and uphold recruitment best practice at all times.
Recruitment can so often become a numbers game, but not at Solo Search. Our success isn’t shown in the number of people we’ve placed, but in the long-standing clients we have who trust us with their recruitment needs, time and time again.
