How a S.TWO brief actually runs

The practice decides part of the workflow. Most of it is the same. Whether the role is a finance manager in Bristol or a head of marketing in London, the steady process is the same: brief, calibrate, vet, shortlist, offer, onboard, follow up.

1. Practice-specific brief

We come into the briefing call ready. If it is a finance role, we know which qualifications matter at that level. If it is HR, we know the difference between an ER specialist and a generalist HRBP.

2. Salary calibration against the local market

Every shortlist is calibrated against current UK salary data plus what we are seeing live across the desk. London salaries differ from the regions. If the band looks low for the role, we will tell you before we start.

3. Vetted, ranked shortlist

Three to six candidates per brief, properly vetted, with our written notes. Right-to-work, references, qualifications and motivation are checked before introduction.

4. Offer and onboarding support

We coordinate the offer, manage counter-offer pressure, line up the start date and check in at day 7, 30 and 90.

Common questions

Most briefs receive their first shortlist within 5-7 working days. Senior or specialist briefs may take a fortnight, we will tell you upfront.
What parts of the UK do you cover?
All four nations. Active candidate and client networks across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Are your fees percentage-based?
For permanent placements, yes - a percentage of first-year base salary. The exact rate depends on level and practice, agreed in writing before any candidate is introduced.
What does the replacement guarantee cover?
If a placed hire leaves or is dismissed within the agreed period, we source a free replacement. The window is usually 8-12 weeks for most roles.
