Welcome, you can call us RR
Nice to meet you! For twenty years, we’ve been putting the client and candidate at the heart of the hiring experience whilst removing the pushy sales, schmooze and high fees.
Where it all started
In 2005, two candidates frustrated by poor experiences with traditional agencies decided the outdated industry needed a change.
RR was born, with founders Jamie and Anna confident that their lack of previous experience in recruitment could be the superpower that allowed them to take a fresh and creative approach. With a clear focus on sourcing talent for jobs vs jobs for talent we ditched the conflict of interest baked into commission-led models. Working exclusively in the client’s best interest we developed a new kind of tech-driven agency model facilitating relationships (vs engineering placements) and championing the process of ‘organic hiring’ to help create stronger and longer-lasting engagements. We’ve actually always seen ourselves as more of a marketing / dating agency.
Powering this change was the perfect blend of our own custom-built technology and people-power to modernise, streamline and make the process way faster.
As it happened, we had created a new kind of online ‘agency’ model…
Where we are now
Twenty years later, having helped thousands of businesses onboard the talent they need to launch, scale and succeed, we can definitely say we have a little more recruitment experience than when we started…
However, we’ve never lost the outlier mentality that inspires us to approach projects differently and find a solution that is better, faster and more cost-effective for our clients. We build partnerships to last, immersing ourselves in your business – without the premium you would expect with a fully embedded recruitment partner.
Our clients come to us when they need to hire – fast, confidently and without the stress. They want to avoid the uncertainty, delays and time drain of doing it themselves, and they don’t want to pay high agency fees – budget that could be better spent elsewhere.
We step in as their on-demand talent team. That’s what we do.
RR exclusively operates on a collaborative partnership basis where everyone is completely invested and on the same team.
Finding the sweet spot
There’s no silver bullet for hiring. Take it on yourself, and you’ll soon find that time challenges in setting up, building a robust talent pool and managing a hiring process quickly quash your initial enthusiasm, resulting in a fatigued and poor experience (for all).
Engage an agency (the one that promised you the earth) and you enter into an arena of sales tactics, shifty manoeuvres and high placement fees you resent paying.
RR’s dedicated approach and fully managed process, coupled with access to our managed-service platform, offers the best of both these worlds and is the sweet spot in hiring. Power up your direct hiring with the best bits of an agency handling everything for you. We believe it’s ‘As good as hiring gets’®.
