Horton Rose places permanent professional, commercial and senior staff for UK employers. One named consultant, a written brief, and a vetted shortlist within a working week.

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.
Every permanent placement carries a free replacement period. If a hire does not stick within the agreed window, we re-run the search at no charge.
Right-to-work, references, qualifications, motivation, salary expectations - all checked before a CV reaches your desk.
For replacement-of-incumbent or pre-announce searches, we run blind shortlists and only reveal client identity at offer stage.
The brief, the vetting, the offer support, and the day-7 / 30 / 90 follow-ups. All built around hires that stay.
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. Written brief returned.
We approach our network and active candidates, vet, interview and rank. A tight, qualified shortlist with our notes.
We coordinate the offer, manage counter-offer pressure and line up the start date 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 in Bristol 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. London salaries differ from the regions. If the band looks low for the role, 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 checked before introduction.
Industrial, manufacturing 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.
