Why employers choose us

The fit matters more than the CV.

We brief properly, vet thoroughly, and stand behind every placement we make.

One consultant per client

The consultant who takes your brief is the one who shortlists, briefs candidates, manages offers, and follows up post-start. No handoffs.

Five to ten day shortlist

Most live briefs receive a qualified shortlist inside two working weeks. Senior or specialist briefs may take a fortnight, we tell you upfront.

Vetted, not just sourced

Right-to-work, references, qualifications, motivation, salary expectations, all checked before a CV reaches your desk.

Day 7, 30 and 90 check-ins with both client and hire to keep the placement in seat.

United Kingdom permanent recruitment, the way it should run

RGSetsquare is a United Kingdom permanent recruitment partner. The desk is built around hires that stay, the brief, the vetting, the offer support, the day-7 / 30 / 90 follow-ups, every step geared toward six-month outcomes.

We take a brief in person where geography allows and on a video call where it does not. The brief covers the role itself, the team it sits in, the manager's working style, the must-haves and the deal-breakers, the salary band and the timeline. We send a written brief back to confirm we have it right before any candidate is approached.

Every shortlist is small and ranked. Three to six candidates, each vetted, each with our written notes on motivation, salary expectations, availability and cultural fit. You see why we shortlisted each one and where they sit relative to each other.

Every placement carries a free replacement period. If a hire leaves or is dismissed inside the agreed window, we re-run the search at no charge.
