CSR places permanent staff for UK-wide employers across ten services. One named consultant, a written brief, and a vetted shortlist within a working week.
"Plain talking, plain pricing, no nonsense. They told us when our brief was wrong and were right about it."
We brief properly, vet thoroughly, and stand behind the people we send.
The consultant who takes your brief is the one who shortlists, briefs candidates, negotiates the offer and follows up post-start. No handoffs.
Most live briefs receive their first qualified shortlist within a week. Senior briefs may take a fortnight, we will tell you upfront.
Right-to-work, references, qualifications, motivation, expectations - all checked before a CV reaches your desk.
Permanent staff for UK employers from London to Glasgow. Considered briefs, vetted candidates, six-month outcomes.

Heads of, directors, senior leadership and exec hires below board level for UK mid-market employers.
A clear four-step process. No drawn-out kick-offs, no dropped balls.
A 30-45 minute briefing call. We capture the role, the team, the must-haves and the timeline. You receive a written brief back to confirm.
We approach our network and active candidates, vet, interview and rank. You receive a tight, qualified shortlist with our notes.
We handle counter-offer pressure, notice-period coordination and start-date logistics so the offer holds.
Day 7, 30 and 90 check-ins with both sides. We close the loop on every hire we place.
Most professional and commercial briefs follow the same shape. Whether it is a finance manager or a head of operations, the steady process is the same: brief, calibrate, vet, shortlist, offer, onboard, follow up.
Every shortlist is calibrated against current UK salary data plus what we are seeing live across the desk this month. If the band looks low for the role and the location, we will tell you before we start, not after the offer is rejected.
Three to six candidates per brief, properly vetted, with our written notes. Right-to-work, references, qualifications and motivation are all checked before introduction. We rank, we do not just send.
Industrial, manufacturing, food production and trades roles sit best with sector specialists, so we point those briefs to trusted partner agencies. The same is true for clinical healthcare and executive search above £200k base.
