Home › Refer a colleague

For consultants

The people you have worked with are the people we want to meet.

Good specialists know other good specialists. If you have worked alongside someone worth a call, introduce us. They get treated exactly the way we treat you, and your name is used only if you say so.

Why we ask

A referral from someone who has worked beside you beats any screening we can do.

We can test a candidate on traceability, on CAPA effectiveness, on how they would defend a potency assay. What we cannot test in an hour is whether they hold up in month six of a difficult programme, whether they escalate a problem or bury it, and whether the client will want them back.

You already know that about the people you have worked with. A colleague you would work with again is a stronger signal than anything on a CV, which is why referred consultants are the ones we move on fastest.

So this is a straightforward ask. If someone comes to mind, send them our way or send us their name and we will reach out properly, without pressure and without pretending we already know them.

What you get

How we treat a referral.

01

We contact them properly

A real call explaining who we are and that you suggested it. No cold pitch pretending we found them.

  • They know why we are calling
  • Your name is used only with your permission
  • No pressure and no pipeline chasing
02

They get the same standard

Straight answers, feedback on every submission, and no fees at any stage.

  • Nothing about referral changes how they are treated
  • You are not risking your reputation
  • They keep control of their own resume
03

You hear what happened

We will tell you if it worked out, as far as they are happy for us to.

  • No black hole after an introduction
  • You know your referral was actually contacted
  • Closure either way
04

We say thank you properly

Where an introduction leads to a placement, we recognise it. We discuss that with you directly and confirm it in writing before you refer anyone, rather than advertising terms that would not suit every situation.

  • Agreed with you privately, in writing, up front
  • Recognised after the placement is established
  • No conditions buried in small print

Questions

What consultants ask us.

Is there a reward for referring someone?

Yes, and we agree it with you directly and in writing before you refer anyone. We do not publish terms here, because what is appropriate varies with the discipline, the seniority and the type of engagement, and a single advertised figure would be wrong for most of them. Ask us and you will get a straight answer in the same conversation.

Can I refer someone who is not looking right now?

Yes, and those are often the best introductions. We will make contact, explain who we are and leave it there if the timing is wrong. Nobody gets chased.

Do you need their permission first?

Ask them before you send their details, as a courtesy and because it makes our first call much easier. If you would rather just give us a name and let us find them, tell us and we will approach it that way.

What if I am not a consultant myself?

It does not matter. Hiring managers, former colleagues and people who have simply worked in the sector all refer people to us, and the referral terms are the same.

Will my name be mentioned?

Only if you say we can. Some people prefer the introduction to be attributed, others do not. Tell us which and we will honour it.
