Worcester-based Four Squared Recruitment has achieved a 60% growth in retained recruitment work throughout 2024, providing a much-needed boost to the slowing recruitment market.
By prioritising a retained search model and committing to partnerships that go beyond transactional hiring, Four Squared Recruitment’s focus on delivering talent with integrity resonates strongly with companies seeking recruiters who act as an extension of their brand.
Retained recruitment offers a distinct advantage by securing upfront funding, it ensures the dedicated attention of a specialist recruitment partner. This commitment enables Four Squared Recruitment to prioritise quality over quantity, building relationships with top-tier candidates and matching them to organisations where they can thrive.
This commitment to understanding and authentically representing clients has proven particularly valuable for sourcing senior and specialist roles—positions that demand both technical expertise and cultural alignment.
“Opting for a retained search model enables businesses to access specialist expertise and a more diverse talent pool compared to working with multiple recruiters,” explains Kat Paterson-Browne, Senior Executive Consultant at Four Squared Recruitment. “This approach allows us to invest significant time and resources into understanding a business’s unique needs and culture. That means we’re not just filling vacancies; we’re finding the right talent to support long-term success for businesses.”
Driven by their recent successes, Four Squared Recruitment is now expanding their team, seeking expert and driven recruitment consultants to join their growing operation.
