Every profile ÷ your brief = one shortlist.
Quartermaster pulls in every suitable profile for your role, often thousands, and Q reviews each one against your brief before we pick up the phone. Nobody is missed because they weren't actively looking.
We also track which companies are losing people and who is hiring for similar roles, so we know where to look first and what you're up against.
When we reach out, every message is written for that person, in the language they use and around the things people at their level care about.
Ready to share
Your rolex.
For every role, Quartermaster creates a co-branded LinkedIn asset. It reaches people who would never see a job ad, and gives them a direct line to everything about the role before they apply.
- Co-branded and ready for every role
- Shared by you and your hiring managers, to the networks that matter most
- A QR code straight to Q, who answers anything about the role, day or night
- The full picture before anyone applies: the team, hybrid working, progression and the interview process
Interviews built on your competencies and values
The same structured bar × every candidate.
Before we speak to anyone, we agree the core competencies for the role with you and turn your company values into behavioural questions. Every candidate is interviewed against the same framework, so you compare like with like and can see exactly why someone is through.
- Core competencies drawn from your job description and our briefing with you
- Behavioural questions mapped to each of your company values
- The same questions for every candidate at each stage
- A full written summary of the evidence, with every candidate we send you
Insight behind every decision
Specialist knowledge + data.
We pool what we learn across the independent agency market, the numbers and what people actually tell us, so every brief starts from real knowledge of your market, not guesswork. Refreshed every week.
- What your budget buys at each level
- How salary tracks experience
- How often people at each level move
- Typical experience at hire
- Who is hiring for similar roles right now
- Why people at this level are moving
- What appeals about your role and your business
- Why some candidates pass, and what would change their mind
- Themes from every briefing call, updated weekly
Q: Directors here are hired with about half a year less experience than the market median, so strong Account Directors with seven years or more are worth a look.
Q: £60k suits someone earning about £56k today. Most Directors fit the budget, though a little under half will want more.
Q: Expectations pass £60k at around seven and a half years' experience, so that's where the budget starts to bite.

Total visibility
Every candidate + every action = one place.
See every candidate at every stage, with their CV, our notes and interview feedback a click away. Comment, tag a colleague and know where things stand without asking.
Everything waiting on you sits in one list: candidates to review, feedback to give, interview times to share. Done it already? Tick it off and the reminders stop.
Always know where things stand
A written update every Friday at 9am
Every Friday at 9am, each person on your hiring team gets their own email: the pipeline with faces, the week's activity, anything waiting on them and what candidates are saying about the role.
No chasing for an update. The work is visible every week, whether you log in or not.
Your cost-per-hire, live
No surprises at month end
See your fee on every role, how much has been used and what's left, plus every invoice line as it builds. Time is credited against your fee, so you pay whichever is higher, never both. No surprises at month end.
