The search process

The One Up Search Method

You don’t need more CVs. You need the right person.

We don’t measure a search by how many profiles we can send. We map the relevant market, speak with people directly and only introduce candidates we believe are genuinely worth your time.

  1. 01

    Brief

    We clarify the role, customers, sales environment and commercial outcomes the hire needs to deliver, then map relevant employers and talent pools around the brief — not job title alone.

  2. 02

    Headhunt

    We identify and approach relevant people directly in the mapped market, including those who are not actively applying for a new role.

  3. 03

    Qualify

    We assess sales capability, relevant experience, performance evidence, motivation and practical fit for the role.

  4. 04

    Shortlist

    We present a considered shortlist with clear reasons for each introduction and any questions still to resolve.

  5. 05

    Place

    We support interviews, feedback, offer and acceptance through to commencement.

Candidate assessment

Can they actually sell in your environment?

We assess candidates against the role’s actual sales environment: how they create or develop opportunities, the customers they understand, the results they can explain and what they personally contributed. Our role-specific assessment records the evidence, motivation and questions still to resolve — not just the impression made in an interview.

Product knowledge matters. Sales ability matters more. The right balance depends on the role.

Founder-led

You won’t brief one person and have the search handed to someone else. Tyrone personally takes the brief, maps the market, speaks with candidates and stays involved through to appointment.

Three-month replacement guarantee

Our recruitment placements are backed by a three-month replacement guarantee, subject to the agreed engagement terms.

The relationship doesn’t end on start day.

We stay close to both sides during the first 90 days, checking in with the client and candidate as the appointment settles in. Good recruitment isn’t finished when an offer is accepted — it’s finished when the hire is working well in the business.

In their words

“Tyrone takes the time to actually understand a business. He's straightforward, professional, and clearly knows what a strong salesperson looks like.”
