The model

We operate on a straightforward hourly margin model. This means an agreed margin is added to the worker's hourly rate, and you are invoiced based on hours actually worked.

  • No subscriptions or pay-to-view CV access
  • No upfront fees - you only pay once someone starts
  • Flexible - margins can vary by role, duration and urgency
  • Clear invoicing - weekly or monthly, based on timesheets

How introductions work

1

Tell us what you need

Share the trade, location, start date, hours, and any cards required (CSCS, ECS, NVQ, etc.).

2

Receive suitable CVs

We send relevant CVs with contact details withheld to protect introductions. We can arrange interviews quickly.

3

Confirm engagement

Once you decide to engage a candidate, we confirm the agreed margin and issue terms for signature.

4

Invoice and payment

Invoicing is weekly or monthly based on timesheets. Payments can be made by bank transfer or via Stripe invoice link.

FAQs

Do you charge anything before a tradesperson starts?

No. We agree the margin once you confirm engagement, and you are invoiced based on hours worked.

Why are CV contact details withheld?

This is standard in recruitment to protect introductions. Full details are shared once an interview or start is confirmed.

How is the margin agreed?

Margins typically depend on the role, length of assignment, and urgency. We confirm it after understanding your requirements.

How do you handle payments with Stripe?

Stripe is used for secure invoice payment links after a start is confirmed. We do not take subscription payments for CV access.
