Recruitment Leads for UK Staffing Agencies and Executive Search Firms
Recruiters are, by profession, good at finding people. Finding companies with active vacancies is the harder problem. We deliver employer-side leads from businesses with live hiring requirements, qualified for budget, timeline, and openness to new agency relationships.
The problem with most lead gen
Business development takes recruiters away from placements
Every hour spent on BD is an hour not spent filling roles. Qualified inbound leads reduce the BD overhead without reducing placement volume.
Incoming enquiries often arrive at commodity rates
Cold enquiries from companies who found you via a directory or LinkedIn ad tend to negotiate hard on fees. Leads sourced through our qualification process arrive with realistic expectations.
Sector diversification is difficult through cold BD
Agencies built on one sector find it hard to expand through cold outreach alone. Qualified leads in adjacent sectors provide a lower-risk route to diversification.
Cold outreach lands poorly when timing is wrong
Employer need is cyclical. Cold outreach to a business with no current vacancy produces no result regardless of quality. Inbound leads arrive when the need is live.
PSL gatekeeping blocks new agency relationships
Many companies operate a preferred supplier list that's difficult to break into. We qualify leads for PSL openness before delivery so you're not pursuing locked accounts.

Common questions
-
We supply employer-side leads: companies with active hiring requirements. This includes permanent mandates, retained executive search, contract staffing, and IR35-compliant contractor engagements. We don't supply candidate leads.
-
Leads are screened for hiring budget, role seniority, timeline, and whether the company's existing PSL is open to new agencies. Leads where the role is already placed or where a sole-supplier contract is in place are excluded.
-
Recruitment leads start from £225. Executive search and senior retained mandates carry higher CPLs, reflecting placement fees that can reach 20-30% of first-year salary on roles paying £80,000+.
-
Yes. Most recruitment firms specialise: in technology, finance, healthcare, construction, or legal. We filter leads by sector to match your positioning and existing placement track record.
-
Boutique specialist firms typically start at 5-10 qualified mandates per month. Larger agencies managing multiple sectors and geographies can agree higher volumes during onboarding.
