A senior level audit for boutique recruitment and executive search firms. We score your whole agency against the Transformation Engine, the framework behind 200+ businesses, and show you exactly where revenue leaks and how to recover it.
Not from bad decisions. From decisions made years ago and never revisited, while the market moved on. It is almost always the same three places.
Your recruiters spend a third of the week on sourcing, formatting, scheduling and the same outreach for the tenth time. Every hour on admin is an hour not billing.
Your CRM is full of candidates you placed once and clients who went quiet, never re-engaged. That is not a database. It is your warmest pipeline, sitting idle.
Roles die because you shortlist too slowly. BD rests on one or two people. Fees are set by habit. Knowledge walks out the door when someone resigns.
We do not compare you to an industry average. We score your agency on how it is built, and on how revenue actually moves through it day to day.
The 9 cogs are the engine. The recruitment lifecycle is the fuel line. The audit checks both.
Led start to finish by both founders. The same two people who diagnose your business are the ones who build the fix.
A deep diagnostic that makes you look under the bonnet in ways most owners never have time to.
We review it with a fine tooth comb and pressure test your answers across two to three rounds of questions.
A two hour audit review on Zoom with both founders. The findings, live, with nowhere to hide.
Within five days, your written Transformation Audit Report. Scored, costed, sequenced.
Two weeks of private one to one support as you start to implement.
A recent £6,500 audit identified £238,000 in annual revenue drag. More than 35 times the fee, before a single fix was built.
Worked example from a boutique executive search firm
Transforming a recruitment business is a strategy problem and an operations problem at the same time. It needs senior people. You get both of us, in the room, doing the work.
The model, the offers, the positioning, the revenue. Where the money is hiding and what to do about it.
The systems, the workflows, the build and the handover. Where recommendations become results.
We can make that promise because we rarely find anything close to the floor. The guarantee covers the total annual revenue drag we name and quantify in your report, measured by our stated method. It applies when you complete the pre-work assessment fully and honestly, and is claimed within 14 days of delivery.
Every engagement starts with the audit. What comes next depends on what we find. There is no obligation beyond the audit itself.
The full two layer diagnostic, your written report and a prioritised roadmap. You act on it. We answer questions as you go.
