Permanent Recruitment

Our Permanent Recruitment Services

CK Group offers tailored permanent recruitment services to meet your organisation’s unique hiring needs, including direct contract hires. Our flexible models ensure you receive the right level of support for every vacancy.

Contingent recruitment is a flexible, pay-on-success model where fees are only payable once a candidate is successfully placed. This approach suits organisations seeking to fill roles efficiently without upfront costs. We begin by discussing your requirements and, where possible, arrange a site visit to fully understand your environment. We then confidentially advertise the role, actively source and submit suitable CVs, conduct our standard screening process, coordinate interviews, and manage offer negotiations on your behalf.

Exclusive recruitment provides a dedicated partnership where CK Group is your sole recruitment provider for a vacancy or campaign. This allows us to focus resources on sourcing the best candidates, ensuring a higher level of commitment and confidentiality. We conduct thorough candidate registration interviews to ensure quality and alignment, maintain your company’s brand reputation by delivering consistent messaging, and prevent duplicate applications from multiple sources.

Retained search is a proactive, high-touch recruitment service designed for senior, specialist, or hard-to-fill roles. In this model, a portion of the recruitment fee is paid upfront to secure dedicated resources and commitment. We conduct comprehensive company and market mapping, headhunt top candidates, perform first-stage interviews, and deliver detailed candidate profiles, helping you secure exceptional talent efficiently and discreetly.

Why partner with CK to help you find the right talent for your team?

Finding and retaining talented staff who fit both the role and your company culture is essential for long-term success. At CK Group, we combine strong industry expertise with an extensive network built over 50 years to deliver high-quality, tailored recruitment solutions. Many of our recruiters have scientific qualifications or direct industry experience, ensuring an insightful, consultative approach.

Partnering with us means a fast, flexible service focused on quality and results—helping you secure the best candidates efficiently and confidently. Our proven track record with global pharma, biotech, and science-led organisations reflects our commitment to your success.
