Who we are

Recruitment, the northern way.

Northern Hiring is the fixed-fee hiring partner for companies that want long-term results from their hiring. One accountable recruiter owns each search, with a transparent, cost-effective fee structure from the outset.

Permanent

Office-based roles

Finance, admin, sales, support and operations, mainly £25k to £100k.

Fixed fee

Our model leads, every time

A price you know before we start, paid 40% on instruction and 60% when your hire starts.

Nationwide

Starting in the North

Based in Preston and working with businesses across the North of England and beyond.

What we believe

Contingency is the wrong structure for hiring that lasts.

Most agencies are paid only if they send the CV that wins, so they all send CVs and nobody owns the search. We work the other way.

You get one recruiter, a fixed fee you know up front and a shortlist deadline in writing. That's a partnership, not a placement.

Contingency

  • Paid only if a candidate is placed
  • Rewards the first CV, not the right hire
  • Several agencies compete for one role
  • A percentage fee that rises with salary

Fixed fee

  • Paid for the work, from day one
  • One recruiter owns the search
  • A price you know before we start
  • A shortlist deadline in writing
Our northern values

What you can expect from us.

R

Relationship

Built around you. Every search starts with your team, culture and goals, with genuine care for candidates and clients.

D

Driven

The legwork. Proactive from the first scoping call to the offer, with real market insight and strong communication.

L

Loyal

In your corner. On a fixed fee we're on your side. We'd rather earn your next hire than chase a quick one.

T

Transparent

We stand behind it. A price you know before we start, a shortlist deadline in writing and a six-month replacement search. Terms apply.
