Unashamedly
Small
We’re a small agency and unashamedly so! We love being niche as it enables us to get to know our market really well – more time spent with candidates, less time spent trawling the internet to find them!
Recruiting with
Empathy
As Recruiters, we have two customers – our candidates and our clients. We felt that candidates were frequently commoditised and let-down by Recruiters, so we set out to differentiate Hawkwood by treating them in the same way we do our paying clients.
The great thing about this is that it benefits our clients too. We get lots of candidate referrals (giving them access to untapped talent) and their employer-brand is represented in a really positive way as well!
