Solutions Built Around You

One Business. Different Challenges. Different Solutions

No two growth journeys look the same — and neither should the way you build your team.

Whether you need one critical hire, an entire team, specialist expertise for a defined period or support entering a new market, we shape our approach around what you're trying to achieve.

From Executive Search and permanent hiring to contract and interim staffing, managed talent acquisition and global expansion, our solutions give you the flexibility to access the right people in the right way, at the right time.

The Solution Should Fit the Challenge

Sometimes the answer is a permanent hire. Sometimes it’s a Fractional leader, a contractor, an entire team or additional expertise to support your existing Talent function.

We start with what you’re trying to achieve, then shape the right approach around it — combining the expertise, delivery model and level of support your business actually needs.

One critical hire. A complete team. Short-term expertise. Long-term capability.

Critical Hires Need a Different Approach

Some appointments carry more weight than others. When the person you hire will shape strategy, lead a function or materially influence the future of the business, a deeper search is needed.

Our Executive Search approach combines market mapping, targeted headhunting and rigorous assessment to identify leaders with the experience, capability and fit to make an impact — including those who aren't actively looking.

From C-suite and VP appointments to critical functional leadership across GTM and Technology, we work closely with you throughout the search to get the appointment right.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

The more important the hire, the greater the impact of getting it wrong. Lost time and salary are only part of the cost — the wrong appointment can affect team performance, customer relationships, strategy and ultimately growth.

That's why we look beyond experience and credentials to understand the environment someone has succeeded in, the challenges they've faced and whether they're right for the business you're building.

Expertise When You Need It

Not every challenge needs a permanent hire. Sometimes you need specialist expertise immediately, additional capacity to deliver a project, cover for a critical role or greater flexibility while your business evolves.

Our Contract & Interim solutions give technology businesses access to experienced GTM and Technical professionals for the time they're needed — from individual specialists and interim leaders to project teams and additional delivery capacity.

Whether you're accelerating a transformation, delivering a major technology project, responding to a sudden increase in workload, bridging a leadership gap or simply don't want to add permanent headcount, we can build a solution around the requirement.

Contract & Interim can support:

Project & transformation delivery · Specialist skills gaps · Interim leadership · Peak workloads & additional capacity · Maternity & long-term absence cover · New initiatives & market entry · Fixed-term requirements · Complete project teams

Flexibility Without Compromise

Your talent needs don't always follow a predictable plan. Projects change, priorities shift and opportunities can appear quickly.

The right solution gives you the flexibility to respond — adding expertise when you need it, scaling capacity up or down, and accessing specialist skills without committing to permanent headcount before the time is right.

The capability you need. For as long as you need it.

Build More. Without Building a Bigger Talent Team.

When hiring demand increases, your internal Talent team doesn't always need to increase with it. Our Talent Acquisition Projects give you additional expertise and delivery capability for a defined period, project or hiring objective.

We work as an extension of your business, adapting to your existing processes, technology and ways of working. We can support your internal Talent team where additional capacity or specialist market knowledge is needed, or take ownership of an entire hiring project from brief through to delivery.

From launching a new function or building an entire team to supporting rapid growth, clearing difficult-to-fill roles or entering a new market, we shape the solution around what needs to be achieved.

Support can include talent mapping and market intelligence, sourcing and headhunting, candidate qualification, interview management, direct applicant management, employer brand representation and offer management — giving you additional capability without the cost or commitment of permanently increasing your Talent function.

More Capability. Not More Complexity.

The best external support should feel like part of your business, not another supplier to manage.

We adapt to your processes, systems and ways of working, adding the specialist knowledge, capacity and reach you need while keeping your existing Talent team firmly in control.

Build Wherever Growth Takes You

Entering a new market brings opportunity, but also questions. Who do you hire first? What should you pay? Where is the talent? And will someone successful in one market necessarily succeed in another?

With teams in the UK, US and Australia, we help technology businesses build GTM and Technical capability in new markets with genuine local knowledge on the ground.

From understanding the talent landscape and benchmarking compensation to identifying critical first hires, building local leadership and scaling complete teams, we help you make informed decisions before committing significant time and investment.

Whether you're entering a market for the first time or accelerating an existing international operation, we combine global reach with the local insight needed to build successfully.

Global Reach. Local Understanding.

Building in a new market isn't simply about finding people in a different location. Compensation, candidate expectations, competition, culture and what makes someone successful can vary significantly from one market to another.

Our teams work within the markets they support, combining local knowledge with Certus's international network and 25 years of technology talent expertise.

Global capability. Delivered locally.

 
 
 

Better Insight. Better Talent Decisions.

The best hiring decisions start before the search begins. Understanding the market, available talent, compensation and competitor landscape can shape not only who you hire, but where, when and how you build.

We provide market intelligence and talent insight to help technology businesses make better-informed decisions — whether you're considering a new hire, building a function, entering a new market or testing the availability of specialist skills.

From talent mapping and competitor analysis to salary benchmarking, market availability and location insight, we give you a clearer picture of the talent landscape before you commit.

Our role isn't simply to find people. It's to give you the knowledge and expertise to make better decisions about the teams you're building.

Whatever You're Building, Start With the Right People

From one critical hire to an entire team, a new market or a complex talent challenge, we’ll shape the right solution around what you’re trying to achieve.
