About us

Hire On Spot exists because most recruitment is done badly — CVs forwarded without being read, roles taken without being understood, and candidates left waiting. We built the agency we would want to deal with.

How we work, and why

Recruitment has a reputation, and most of it is earned. These are the things we do differently, and hold ourselves to.

Fewer roles, worked properly
Each consultant carries a deliberately small desk. A role you cannot describe in detail is a role you cannot fill.
Honest before easy
If the salary is wrong, the process is too long, or the brief is unrealistic, we say so at the start rather than bill you for the discovery.
Candidates are people, not stock
We never send a CV without permission, never inflate a role to get someone interested, and always tell people where they stand.
Judged on retention, not placements
Anyone can fill a seat. We measure ourselves on who is still there twelve months later.

What our clients say

The clearest picture of what we are like to work with comes from the people who have.

Head of Engineering

Software company

They filled two roles we had been advertising for six months. The difference was that they told us our salary band was wrong before they started, rather than after.

Talent Acquisition Lead

Healthcare group

Every shortlist was worth interviewing. We stopped receiving CVs that had clearly been sent to five other clients the same morning.

Board Director

Manufacturing business

The confidential search was handled properly from start to finish. Nothing leaked, and the appointment was right.

Chief Operating Officer

SaaS business

They employed our first two hires in a country where we had no entity, and it took days rather than the months we had budgeted.
