Two Ways to Partner With Us

Search

Whether you’re hiring for permanent roles or need interim support, we offer both retained and contingency search to match your needs. With retained searches, we take a thoughtful, thorough approach — giving you live access to our full market map every step of the way. That means real-time data, total transparency, and all the insight you need to hire with confidence.

Scale

We join your team in-house, with full access to your systems, tools and processes — all for a simple flat monthly fee. Whether you need full-time support or just an extra set of hands, we slot right in and take care of the whole hiring process. From first outreach to final offer, we make sure every candidate — and every hiring manager — has a great experience along the way.

"I worked with Re:work to hire our first Head of TA and Senior Tech Recruiter.

I'd gladly recommend the team to any other startups hiring their first recruiter."

"Mark placed me at Apple, and I have to say the contact from beginning to end was very helpful, pleasant and competent. Mark always kept me in the loop, so I was aware of the next steps at all times. I really appreciate this especially as I am a recruiter myself and the candidate experience is most important - 5 stars to Mark!!!"

"Efficient, effective, responsive, personal, personable, knowledgeable, authentic! These are only some of the things I got to see and experience as Mark helped guide me through to what would be my next career opportunity. Throughout the process, despite having the Christmas period slow down the process, I always felt as though Mark was only ever an email away. If you are an HR professional, looking for your next exciting career move, I couldn't recommend Mark highly enough."

— Lead HR Business Partner EMEA, Pluralsight

"I can only describe Mark as a fantastic Recruiter! He provides honest and constructive feedback in addition to being extremely responsive and supportive throughout the whole recruitment process.

Contingency project to hire their first EMEA Head of TA for their HQ in Dublin
"As someone in the Talent Acquisition space, I have worked with lots of agencies and recruiters. Working with Mark was very refreshing and he really stood out from the crowd. He took an extremely consultative approach, and took the time to understand my experience and what I was looking for. He was informative, professional and extremely transparent throughout the process. Companies are now putting a real emphasis on people and culture, Mark is very specialised in this space, and has an expansive network in the area. I would highly recommend Mark and Re:Work"

— EMEA Head of Talent Acquisition , Viasat

Contingency project to help scale their HR team in the UK and Netherlands
"Mark’s strength is the ability to really listen and understand a client’s requirements and then seamlessly deliver on them. His style is pragmatic, and he really gets the HR market across Europe. Mark has supported me with filling three different HR roles, two in the Netherlands and one in the UK. Each time I’ve been impressed with the quality of candidates he has shortlisted for me, and his warm professionalism extends through the end to end recruitment process. I’d highly recommend Mark for any pan-European HR recruitment requirements."
