About

Smallerby design

Recruitment had become too transactional. Too many CVs. Too many calls. Too much chasing. Too little understanding. I wanted to build something smaller, sharper and more personal, where the quality of the search matters more than the number of people on a database.

Serious work,
taken personally

I’ve spent twenty years working across recruitment, talent and the wider business environment, including time atHays IT, Robert Half International, AMS and Harvey Nash. Twenty years in the trade teaches you what good looks like, and what it doesn’t. The Recruitment Studio is built on the first and against the second.

The Recruitment Studio should feel like a studio: somewhere work isconsidered, refined and designed properly, rather than put through a process. We don’t believe good recruitment should feel like recruitment. No conveyor belt of CVs. No being passed from consultant to consultant. No chasing for updates.

We stay close to the brief, understand what makes the business tick and personally handle the search from start to finish.Smaller by design. More selective because of it.
