Access a comprehensive advertising service through our online partners and get support with crafting an effective job description.

Our team is fully trained in competency-based interviewing and can conduct face-to-face screenings of all potential applicants. We have also managed numerous candidate video pitch submission projects.

We can conduct full reference interviews to give you a third-party perspective of the strengths and development areas of prospective hires.

In addition to advising on salary and compensation benchmarks across your peer group, we’ll manage the offer process to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible, from remuneration negotiations to onboarding.

“We had a very extreme period where there were lots of roles in a short space of time and Agora’s agility was really useful. The quality of candidates was right too, so we didn't have to see loads of people to make hires. They know what kind of candidates we need and they’ve got the relationships.”

“Agora are really, really good. They’ve helped us out of tricky spots where we’ve had to fill roles super quickly. And they’re flexible – I think they’re small enough to really care. Whatever the role, they’re willing to get stuck in and chuck everything into it, which is amazing.”

“I can’t praise Agora enough. They’re so lovely. They take the time to understand what we want and do as much of the process as possible, so it’s all taken off our shoulders. They find the right people too – the team just gets it.”

“Agora’s understanding of their market is so perfect. The calibre of candidates they have on their portfolios is outstanding. It’s always hard to find someone 100% right for a role, but the calibre Caroline sent over was way above what I was looking for. You know when you find your perfect hairdresser? It’s like finding the perfect recruitment company.”

“Agora has found us some great talent for the business. Felix is an absolute gem with group strategy and Caroline knows our business extremely well. She really understands what makes us tick. That allows us to be confident with candidates and I feel confident with them representing us to candidates.”
