Your Options
Recruitment requirements rarely fit a single model. You may need flexible support with an active vacancy, a dedicated search for a critical appointment, additional recruitment capability during a period of growth or an independent review of how your organisation hires. Albius Talent provides contingent, retained, embedded and advisory services that can be used individually or combined around your needs. We take the time to understand your organisation, priorities and existing capabilities before recommending the most appropriate approach.
01
Contingent Recruitment
Flexible, success-based recruitment
Our contingent recruitment service supports organisations with active vacancies through a flexible, success-based model. Commercial positions, operational hires, professional services, mid-level management and specialist support functions, delivered with the same care, judgement and relationship-led approach.
We take the time to understand the role, the organisation and the type of person most likely to succeed. We then identify, assess and introduce relevant candidates, with a fee payable only when a successful appointment is made.
Well suited to organisations that
- —Have a defined and active vacancy
- —Want a flexible recruitment model
- —Need access to a wider candidate network
- —Require additional support alongside internal hiring activity
- —Want to strengthen an existing shortlist
Our focus is on considered introductions rather than volume. Every candidate presented should have a credible connection to the role and the organisation.

Albius Talent's flagship service. We operate as an embedded extension of your business, providing ongoing recruitment and talent support through a monthly partnership model, giving you access to strategic talent expertise without the cost of building a full internal recruitment function.
This model is suitable for organisations experiencing growth, managing multiple vacancies or requiring additional recruitment capability without immediately expanding their permanent talent function. We work closely with your leadership, people team and hiring managers to understand the organisation, represent its employer brand and manage recruitment activity from within.
You gain access to strategic talent expertise without the cost or overhead of building a full internal recruitment function. We attend briefings, understand your culture and stay invested in your hiring outcomes beyond any single placement.
Well suited to organisations that
- —Are hiring across multiple roles on an ongoing basis
- —Want predictable, manageable recruitment costs
- —Need strategic talent support without an internal team
- —Value a partner who knows your business deeply
- —Are scaling and need flexible recruitment capacity
A genuine partnership, not a supplier arrangement. We stay invested in your hiring outcomes long term.
