We took our name from the French word for "agreement" - the diplomatic kind, where parties commit to a shared understanding. Recruitment, done well, runs the same way.
Entente Recruit is a UK-wide permanent recruitment firm.
We work with employers who want their recruiter to behave like an advisor - someone willing to challenge a brief that won't attract the right candidate, willing to recommend a slower process when speed will compromise the outcome, willing to flag a counter-offer risk before it materialises. We are not a database-and-pray operation.
One consultant per client. The recruiter who takes your search owns it from intake to start date. No handoffs. No second-tier delegate.
Counsel before candidates. The brief is calibrated, the offer is shaped, the interview process is pressure-tested - all before the first CV lands in your inbox.
Skin in the game. Direct-hire placements come with a 90-day replacement guarantee. The economics make us care about the long-term fit, not just the close.
From owner-managed SMEs hiring their first finance lead, up to FTSE-listed organisations replacing a board-level appointment with discretion. Same engagement model, scaled to fit.
