04 / A few useful answers
Clear from
the first conversation.
A specialist network should make hiring simpler. Here’s what working with us looks like.
Will I have to manage several agencies?
No. Spanward is your point of contact. We brief the selected partners, coordinate submissions and manage communication, so you deal with one recruitment partner.
Do all 90+ partners work on every vacancy?
No. We select the partners best suited to your discipline, seniority and location. Multiple selected agency partners then search in parallel and submit suitable candidates to Spanward. You receive one managed shortlist from their combined submissions.
Which locations do you cover?
We support permanent safety appointments across the UK, matching your search to partners with relevant sector and location knowledge.
How do fees work?
We agree the recruitment fee and terms with you before the search begins. Share your requirements and we’ll explain the proposed approach and fee for your appointment.
What do you need to get started?
A role title, location, salary range and the experience or qualifications you need. A full job description helps, but an initial outline is enough to start a conversation.
