Starlite Jobs places permanent professional, commercial and senior staff for UK employers. One named consultant, a written brief, a vetted shortlist within the working week.
"They listened first, then sent four candidates we genuinely wanted to interview. Same day callback when our brief shifted."
Recruitment depends on care, calibration and continuity. Here is how we hold the line on all three.
Right-to-work, references, qualifications and motivation confirmed before a CV reaches the hiring manager.
A 30-minute briefing call about the team, the role and the must-haves. Written brief returned for sign-off.
Day-7, day-30 and day-90 follow-ups. Issues caught early usually do not become problems.

We approach the network and active candidates. Vet, interview, rank.
Counter-offer pressure, notice-period coordination, start-date logistics.
Day-7, day-30 and day-90 check-ins. We close the loop on every hire.
Most professional and commercial briefs follow the same shape. Whether it is a finance manager in Leeds or a head of marketing in London, 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.
Three to six candidates per brief, properly vetted, with our written notes. Right-to-work, references, qualifications and motivation are all checked before introduction.
Permanent placements only. Professional services firms, mid-market commercial businesses, and in-house functions of larger UK enterprises. Industrial, manufacturing and clinical healthcare sit best with sector specialists, so we point those briefs out.
