The starting point
Every search begins with a business need.
A vacancy is never just a seat to fill — it’s a business need: a goal to reach, a gap to close, a team to strengthen. So before we source a single candidate, we start with why the role exists and what success in it really looks like. The best people for it are rarely on a job board — they’re employed, in demand, and not reading your ad. Reaching them, and knowing they’ll fit, takes direct search, a real network in the right sector, and the judgment to assess both capability and culture.
That’s what talent acquisition at Heads is built for. We don’t forward CVs and hope. We translate your business need into the specific profile you require, then find the right people, assess them for competency and culture fit, and bring you a shortlist you can hire from with confidence — keeping the quality of communication first, so you always know exactly where your search stands.

What talent acquisition at Heads covers
A repeatable engine for building teams.
More than filling one vacancy — finding, assessing and hiring the people your business needs, from specialists to senior professionals, run by consultants who know your sector.
Co-creation
We define the role, the success profile and the search strategy with you — not for you.
Direct search, not inbox-forwarding
We proactively source and approach the right people — including those who aren’t actively looking.
A specialist for your industry
A consultant with real experience and network in your sector runs the search — we speak your language from day one.
Competency and culture-fit assessment
Capability, values and team fit evaluated with established methodologies (Hogan, SHL) — qualified, not just available.
Speed with rigor
A focused, decision-ready shortlist, fast — without ever lowering the bar.
How we reach talent others can’t
A shortlist is only as good as the pool it’s drawn from.
We combine direct search, live sector-specific networks built over years, and structured market mapping to reach the passive candidates who never apply. Because our consultants specialise by industry, that reach is targeted — we know where the right people are and how to approach them.
Where it helps, we benchmark availability and salary up front, so your offer is competitive before you make it.
