Our Way
Our aim is simple, we are here to help clients find the right people and the right people find the right clients.
We are the authority in FMCG senior Sales and Marketing appointments, operating typically between the £60k and £250k salary bands. Our fees are completely transparent: for example, the fee structure is exactly the same whether we are conducting confidential search or advertised selection.
We don't wrap up the process in corporate jargon or rigid methodologies. With The Simmance Partnership you will always get an honesty, a directness, an insight and answers that are refreshing, open, collaborative and deliver results.
Absorbing conversation
Asking the right questions, listening for the right answers.
Positive reinforcement
Victory only retains its sweetness if followed by another. Only when you call us for the next assignment can we truly say the last was a triumph.
For clients, this means getting to the crux of the issue and building a solution around the recruiter.
For candidates, it involves understanding the skills and motivations of each individual before deciding on the best career destination.
