Sharp Resources
Recruitment to recruitment search

Finding talent for the recruitment industry.

We work with recruitment agencies, search firms, embedded talent providers, SaaS and AI start-ups and Fortune 500 corporates to find the best possible talent within the global recruitment community.

We are in the relationship business.

Our approach

How we run a search.

Every mandate is handled as an individual search. We map the market, approach the right people directly and only introduce candidates we have properly qualified against your brief.

Search mandate

We agree the brief, the profile and what success looks like in the role.

Market mapping

We map the relevant market to identify where the right people currently sit.

Long list

We build a long list of potential candidates, including those not actively looking.

Engagement

We approach and engage candidates to assess their interest and suitability.

Short list

We agree a short list of the strongest candidates with you.

Qualification

Each candidate is qualified in detail against a set of agreed interview questions.

Competency interview

We meet candidates in person for a competency-based interview.

Briefing pack

You receive a briefing pack for each candidate, including our interview notes.
