Our Service Offerings

01
Retained Search
Hiring 1-5 people within the next 12 months?
With a 98% success rate, retained search is fast becoming the preferred model for start-ups that need more than traditional contingency recruitment. Our retained solution combines direct hiring ownership with targeted headhunting. We manage the hiring process end-to-end — screening your direct applicants, coordinating communication, keeping the process moving, and proactively mapping, headhunting and engaging passive candidates. The model is also designed to stay commercially aligned: the initial retained fee covers the search work, while the remaining fee only applies if Nicolson Method sources and introduces the successful hire. In short: we become your dedicated hiring function for the role, while also going to market to find the high-calibre candidates who are not actively applying.

Interim Hires
Hiring Urgently?
We proactively build and maintain relationships with a curated network of industry-leading contractors across product engineering, data and technology. Rather than starting from zero, we continuously track contractor availability, day rates, preferences, sector experience and delivery background. This allows us to introduce pre-vetted, relevant contractors quickly, often with same-day turnaround, giving you immediate access to trusted talent who can step in and deliver from day one. We work to all-inclusive daily rate budgets and manage timesheets, payroll and compliance, making the process seamless from introduction through to completion.

Recruitment as a Service
Your Internal Talent Partner for 5+ roles
For start-ups planning to make 5+ hires over a 12-month period, our Talent as a Service model gives you dedicated recruitment support across all live roles for one fixed monthly subscription. We embed into your internal hiring process, acting as an extension of your team to manage sourcing, screening, candidate communication, pipeline management and interview coordination across multiple roles at once. Instead of paying full placement fees on every hire, you get ongoing hiring support for a predictable monthly cost, with no success fee on standard hires and a reduced 5% success fee only applying to Head of level and above roles. It’s a cost-effective, scalable solution for mission-led AI for Good start-ups that need consistent hiring momentum without building a full internal talent function too early.
