ONE FEE. ONE VISION. ONE RESULT.

EVOLUTION EXCLUSIVE SEARCH

Exclusive recruitment provides one accountable recruitment partner to manage the vacancy from the initial briefing through to the successful candidate’s start date.


It allows Evolution to invest more time in research, direct candidate approaches and market mapping without the confusion and duplication that can occur when several agencies compete on the same role.


This service is particularly suitable for:

• Quick fill/low skilled admin roles

• Difficult-to-fill vacancies

• Urgent recruitment

• Confidential replacements

• Roles requiring direct headhunting

• Businesses wanting fewer, more relevant candidates

• Employers looking for a clearly managed recruitment process


What Is Included?

• Detailed vacancy and business briefing

• Review of the salary and benefits package

• Candidate market research

• Target-company mapping

• Direct approaches to passive candidates

• Searches across specialist databases and professional networks

• Detailed candidate screening

• Carefully selected candidate introductions

• Candidate summaries and recommendations

• Interview coordination

• Candidate interview preparation

• Regular progress updates

• Offer negotiation

• Resignation and counteroffer support

• Communication throughout the candidate’s notice period

• Ten-week replacement guarantee


Exclusive Recruitment Fee - 15% of the successful candidate’s basic annual salary.

The minimum recruitment fee is: £4,000 plus VAT


Fee Examples

• Candidate salary of £30,000: £4,500 plus VAT

• Candidate salary of £40,000: £6,000 plus VAT

• Candidate salary of £50,000: £7,500 plus VAT

• Candidate salary of £60,000: £9,000 plus VAT


No recruitment fee is payable unless a candidate introduced by Evolution successfully joins your business, unless a separate retained agreement has been confirmed.

NO HIDDEN AGENDAS

We apply a consistent fee structure so every client knows where they stand. 


Our fees reflect the work we put into each search, but building a trusted, lasting relationship matters more to us than the recruitment placement fee.

Leading Recruitment solutions Built Around Your Hiring Needs

Not every vacancy needs the same approach.


Some roles require a focused headhunting campaign. Others need a broader search, fast access to relevant candidates or support across several appointments at once.


Evolution offers flexible recruitment services for building product manufacturers, builders’ merchants, plumbers’ merchants, distributors, wholesalers and construction supply businesses across the UK.


The aim is to provide the right level of support for the vacancy, while keeping the process clear, personal and commercially sensible.

An open box with glowing magic and documents flying out.

Recruitment Built Around the Vacancy

There is no benefit in forcing every assignment into the same process.


A confidential Sales Director search requires a different approach from recruiting several Sales Administrators, Branch Managers or Customer Service professionals.


Before any search begins, Evolution will take time to understand:


• The role and responsibilities

• The reason behind the vacancy

• The team and reporting structure

• The skills and experience required

• The salary and benefits package

• The location and working arrangements

• The urgency of the appointment

• The likely availability of suitable candidates

• The most appropriate recruitment approach


This allows the search to be shaped around the actual hiring challenge rather than a standard agency template.

Our Results

We have successfully placed hundreds of candidates in a variety of industries, from entry-level positions to executive roles. Our clients trust us to find the right talent for their business, and we take that responsibility seriously.

CV Screening and Shortlisting

A CV can show where someone has worked, but it cannot fully explain how they communicate, what motivates them or why they are considering a move.


Evolution can independently screen candidates on your behalf, helping you decide who should progress and highlighting any concerns before valuable interview time is committed.

CV Screening and Shortlisting

CV Screening and Shortlisting

Evolution can join your interview panel to provide an experienced, independent recruitment perspective and help your business assess candidates more consistently.

Replacement Guarantee

If a successfully placed candidate leaves within the 10 week guarantee period, Evolution will conduct a free-of-charge replacement search.


The guarantee is intended to provide reassurance, but the priority is always to reduce the likelihood of a failed placement through careful briefing, honest candidate screening and clear communication.

Why Evolution Does Not Compete on CV Volume

Some recruitment agencies measure success by the number of CVs sent, and/or the quantity of nterviews they book in, and the speed they turn it around in.


Sending a large volume of unsuitable applications creates more work for the hiring manager and can damage the candidate experience.


Evolution has no wishy-washy targets, and our attention is paid to:

  • Understanding the vacancy properly
  • Approaching relevant people
  • Screening candidates carefully
  • Managing expectations honestly
  • Presenting a considered shortlist
  • Supporting the process through to completion


You may receive fewer CVs, but each one will be suitable for your position.
