Building lasting careers and long-term teams. Our permanent recruitment service connects outstanding candidates with exceptional employers for lasting, impactful placements across every level and industry in the UK.
Permanent recruitment is the process of sourcing, screening, and placing candidates into full-time, long-term employment roles. Unlike temporary staffing, permanent placements are indefinite-term positions where the individual becomes a direct employee of your organisation.
At TalentBridge UK, our permanent recruitment service goes far beyond simply matching CVs to job descriptions. We invest time understanding your organisation's culture, long-term strategy, team dynamics, and growth ambitions — ensuring every candidate we present is not just qualified, but truly right for your team.
A proven 6-step process refined over 18 years to deliver consistently outstanding placements.
We begin with an in-depth briefing — either at your site or via video call. We explore not just the role's technical requirements, but your company culture, team dynamics, leadership style, and the profile of your most successful employees. This deep understanding underpins everything that follows.
Typically 1–2 hoursWe activate our full search strategy simultaneously: targeted database search across 120,000+ candidates, multi-channel advertising, proactive LinkedIn headhunting, and consultant network outreach. We typically identify 50–100+ potential candidates within 24 hours.
24–48 hoursEvery candidate undergoes a thorough competency-based interview with your dedicated consultant, technical skills assessment, and cultural alignment evaluation. We also conduct initial reference checks at this stage. Only the very best 3–6 candidates progress to you.
48–72 hoursYou receive a detailed candidate pack for each shortlisted candidate, including a written assessment from your consultant covering skills, experience, motivations, cultural fit observations, and salary expectations. We're available to talk you through each candidate in detail.
Within 48 hours of search completionWe coordinate all interview scheduling, brief candidates thoroughly on your business, manage feedback both ways, and handle any objections or concerns that arise. Our consultant acts as a trusted intermediary, keeping both sides informed and engaged throughout.
Ongoing during interviewsWe manage the offer negotiation, resignation support (including counter-offer handling), and maintain regular contact with your new hire through their notice period and first 90 days. All placements are covered by our 3-month guarantee.
3-month aftercare includedBenefits for both the organisations hiring and the professionals seeking their next permanent role.
Our average time from initial brief to accepted offer is just 18 working days — compared to the industry average of 42 days. Faster hiring means less disruption to your business.
Our multi-stage screening process ensures you only meet candidates who are genuinely qualified AND motivated. Our hires stay 40% longer on average than industry-standard placements.
Our transparent fee structure and strong retention rates deliver excellent ROI. The cost of a bad hire typically equals 6–12 months salary — our process dramatically reduces this risk.
Every permanent placement is backed by our industry-leading 3-month replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn't work out, we'll find a suitable replacement at no additional fee.
