Direct-hire recruitment for your core team — sourced, screened and referenced to the same standard every Alliance placement is held to. Tell us what you’re hiring for and talk to our team.
Permanent recruitment is the direct hire of a new employee onto your permanent headcount, rather than on a temporary or contract basis. It’s how most UK employers build their core team: someone who joins with no fixed end date, sourced and screened to the same standard as every Alliance placement.
Partnering with a permanent recruitment agency should make hiring easier, not longer. Alliance sources, screens and references every candidate to the same standard, so you interview a tightly matched shortlist instead of sifting through a stack of CVs.
Filling a permanent role doesn’t only mean posting a vacancy and hoping the right person applies, or running the whole search yourself alongside your day job. Here’s how those routes compare to working with Alliance.
12,000+ UK businesses have hired through Alliance for permanent, temporary and RPO recruitment. Every placement is sourced, screened and referenced to the same standard, backed by a 98% offer-acceptance rate and a 70% interview-to-offer rate.






Four steps, start to finish: you brief us on the role, we source and screen against it, you interview a tightly matched shortlist, and you hire — with us handling as much of the process as you want us to.

Permanent recruitment is the direct hire of a new employee onto your permanent headcount, rather than on a temporary or contract basis. Alliance sources, screens and references every permanent candidate to the same standard, whatever the role.
Permanent recruitment places someone directly onto your team with no fixed end date. Temporary and contract staffing covers a role for a set period — cover for leave, a project or a busy season — without the same long-term commitment. Alliance runs both to the same screening and referencing standard.
You brief us on the role, we source and screen candidates against it, and you interview a shortlist instead of a stack of CVs.
Cost depends on the service and the role — a single permanent placement is priced differently to an ongoing RPO partnership. Talk to our team for a quote specific to what you’re hiring for.
Timelines vary by role and seniority — our 70% interview-to-offer rate means the shortlist you see is tightly matched, which keeps the process moving faster than sifting through open applications yourself.
