Lean by design. Not by service.

Hand of Awen has been deliberately built to be agile, personal and commercially sensible.

Without the overheads and infrastructure of a traditional recruitment agency, I operate more efficiently and pass those savings directly to my clients.

What I don't reduce is the quality of the search.

Every brief receives thoughtful attention, careful screening and the level of personal involvement I would expect if recruiting into my own business. You deal directly with me throughout. No layers. No hand-offs. No CV-sending machine.

You pay less because my model costs less to run.
Not because I do less for you.

That is how Hand of Awen can offer 7.5% for a new client's first placement and 12% thereafter while delivering a genuinely bespoke service.

Lower overheads.

Preferential terms.

No compromise on quality.

7.5% New Client Placement

A 7.5% introductory placement fee based on your new Right Hand’s gross annual salary.

For a £50,000 salary, your placement fee with Hand of Awen would be just £3,750, plus the £250 file opening fee.

Compare that with a traditional agency charging around 22%, where the placement fee alone could be £11,000.

That’s a saving of £7,250.

Preferential terms without compromising on quality.
A leaner, more agile model means lower overheads — and I pass those savings directly on to you.

£250 file opening fee

A one-off £250 fee to commence your search, covering the initial briefing, targeted sourcing, candidate screening and recruitment activity. Non-refundable.

Returning Clients - 12%

Our 7.5% introductory rate is designed to welcome new clients to Hand of Awen. For subsequent hires, our fee is 12% of your new Right Hand’s annual salary.

It remains significantly below traditional agency rates while allowing us to continue delivering the personal, considered and hands-on service that brought you back in the first place.

Preferential by design. Personal by nature.

90 Day Replacement Guarantee

The right fit matters. If your new Right Hand leaves within their first 90 days for a qualifying suitability-related reason, Hand of Awen will undertake one replacement search at no additional placement fee.

It is an extra layer of reassurance designed to give you greater confidence in your hire.

Because recruitment shouldn’t end the moment someone starts.
