Submit a Job Brief
A Statement of Work (SOW) engagement structures recruitment around defined outcomes rather than individual roles. Instead of a straightforward "find me a person" brief, a SOW sets out what needs to be achieved, by when, and how success is measured at each stage. Both parties agree the scope, the milestones, and the deliverables before work begins.
This model suits situations where clarity and accountability matter as much as the hire itself. It works well for project-based requirements, volume hiring programmes, new market entry, and any situation where a client needs to manage a hiring budget against defined outcomes.
When a Statement of Work is the right approach:
We begin by agreeing on the scope of the engagement: what needs to be delivered, the timeline, the roles involved, and how success will be measured. Both parties sign off on the brief before any search activity starts.
We set out a delivery timeline with agreed milestones. Each stage is tracked and reported against, so you have clear visibility throughout the engagement. There are no surprises at the end; progress is shared as it happens.
Candidate sourcing and assessment follow the same approach as all GKR mandates, with the added layer of formal reporting and milestone sign-off at each stage. Candidates are assessed against the agreed profile before being presented.
At the end of the engagement, we review outcomes against the agreed brief. Where a placement is made, our standard post-placement support applies. Where the brief changes during the project, we document the change and agree the impact on timelines before proceeding.
