We ask a lot of questions.

If you’ve worked with us you’ll know…

Because we can find you someone with the experience and qualifications. But a successful hire also depends on whether someone will work well within the business, the team and the environment they are joining.

We want to know:

What is the team like?
What type of manager will this person report to?
What pace does the business work at?
What challenges will the person walk into?
What kind of personality tends to thrive there?
What has worked well before, and what has not?

A candidate can look excellent on paper and still be wrong for the role.

Equally, someone who does not tick every single box may have exactly the right attitude, judgement and approach to succeed.

That is where our decades of experience come in.

When we understand the business properly, we can make better matches, ask better questions and put forward candidates who are not only capable, but credible for that specific environment.

Episode 4 of In Pursuit of Talent is now live!

With employment law continuing to evolve, this felt like a particularly timely conversation.

In this episode, Lorraine is joined by Cas Carrington, an experienced employment law specialist who helps employers and HR teams cut through legal complexity and understand what changing legislation means in real workplace situations.

Together, they explore the changing employment law landscape, including the Employment Rights Act 2025 and the consultations continuing to shape what comes next.

Among the topics discussed:

* Trade union rights, including access to employers and the duty to inform employees of their right to join a trade union

* Unfair dismissal and the potential impact of changes to qualifying rights

* Zero and low-hours contracts and what employers still need clarity on

* Pregnancy, maternity and carers' protections

* The wider challenge of navigating increasing change, complexity and risk

The episode provides a useful introduction to many of the themes we'll be exploring in more detail at our Employment Law Seminar on 30 September, where Cas will also be speaking.

If you'd like to understand what these changes could mean in practice, and what conversations your business should be having now, this episode is a good place to start.

You do not need to tick every box on a job description before you apply.

Job descriptions can sometimes read like a checklist of the “perfect” candidate.

Five years’ experience.
Industry knowledge.
A specific qualification.
Experience with every system listed.

It can be easy to read that list, spot the one or two things you don’t have and decide the role isn’t for you.

But your potential is not defined by a checklist.

Employers are also looking for people who can:

• Learn quickly
• Bring transferable skills
• Solve problems
• Adapt to change
• Communicate effectively
• Bring a different perspective to the team

Of course, some requirements will be essential. But others may be skills you can learn once you’re in the role.

So, next time you find a position that genuinely interests you, ask yourself:

Can I do most of this role?
What experience could I bring from elsewhere?
Am I capable of learning what I don’t yet know?
Could this be the opportunity that stretches me?

Don’t reject yourself before an employer has even had the opportunity to consider you.

What usually stops you from applying for a role — not meeting every requirement, lack of confidence, or something else?

We would love to hear your experience.

Lorraine is back in London today for a full day of meetings — and it got us thinking about what we are hearing from businesses right now.

With the recruitment landscape continuing to evolve, meeting with businesses gives us a valuable opportunity to understand first-hand the priorities, challenges and opportunities they are facing.

So, we wanted to put a question to our network:

What is the biggest recruitment challenge facing your business at the moment?

Whether it’s attracting the right talent, finding specific skills, retaining your best people or navigating changing candidate expectations, we would be interested to hear what you are experiencing.

At Pursuit, staying close to businesses and understanding what’s happening in the market is key to ensuring we provide the right recruitment support when it’s needed.

We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Our MD Lorraine has been in London today for a busy day of meetings and doing what she does best — building relationships and having great conversations.

She’s spent the day meeting with two new clients, getting to know their businesses, understanding what they’re looking for in their workforce and exploring how Pursuit can support them.

There was also another exciting meeting in the diary today that we’re keeping under wraps for now…

For Lorraine, getting out and meeting people face-to-face has always been an important part of building strong, lasting relationships. It’s about listening, understanding what businesses really need and having the conversations that can lead to something great.

A productive day in the capital, with plenty of exciting conversations — and we’re looking forward to seeing where they lead.

Watch this space… we might have more to share soon!

What if improving your wellbeing took just 12 minutes a day?

We’re used to talking about performance in terms of skills, strategy and ambition. But there’s another part of the equation that’s much easier to overlook:

How well are we actually looking after ourselves?

In episode three of In Pursuit of Talent, Lorraine is joined by Holly and Jemma from for a refreshingly practical conversation about strength, mindset, nutrition and building habits that can realistically fit into busy lives.

One of the biggest takeaways? It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Just 12 minutes a day, consistently, can make a meaningful difference. And when life inevitably gets in the way, you haven’t “fallen off the wagon” — you’ve simply stepped off it. You can step straight back on.

It’s an episode full of useful, realistic advice for anyone who spends a lot of time showing up for their work, their team or others — and could perhaps spend a little more time showing up for themselves.

And we are delighted that Holly will be joining us at our next Seminar, where she’ll share more about the Holsm app, the thinking behind it, and how she can help us put these ideas into practice.

Episode three of In Pursuit of Talent is available now.

Watch or listen to the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts, or catch it on YouTube:

Episode three of In Pursuit of Talent is now live!

This episode takes a slightly different direction — and intentionally so. We welcomed Holly and Jemma from Holsm into the podcast studio for a conversation that we think will resonate with many busy professionals.

Holly is the founder of , a strength, mindset and lifestyle coaching app. Jemma is a nutritionist. Together they joined Lorraine for an honest, energising conversation about what it really means to take care of yourself — and why it matters more than most of us realise.

Lorraine, Holly and Jemma explored:
• Why so many of us are running on empty — and what it's actually doing to us physically and mentally
• How just 12 minutes a day, done consistently, can make a meaningful difference
• Why your body can respond to modern-day stress in much the same way it responds to physical threats
• The power of community over willpower when it comes to building lasting habits
• Progress over perfection — and why you never fall off the wagon, you just step off it

Sometimes the most valuable conversation isn't about strategy or business growth. It's about showing up for yourself. This is that conversation.

A huge thank you to Holly and Jemma for their time, energy and refreshing honesty. We hope our listeners enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Employment law is not standing still, and if you’re involved in HR, you need to keep up.

On 30 September, we will be joined once again by employment law specialist Cas Carrington, who always delivers practical, timely and incredibly useful insight for our clients.

Cas has a real skill for taking complex legal updates and explaining what they mean in day-to-day workplace situations.
This session will cover the latest developments employers need to understand, including updates around the Employment Rights Act 2025 and the consultations currently shaping what comes next.

That includes carer’s leave and Hugh’s Law, dismissal protections for pregnant women and women on maternity leave, zero and low hours contracts, trade union access to workplaces and the duty to inform employees of their right to join a trade union.

Cas will also look at important new case law from tribunals and courts, including unfair dismissal, discrimination and contract issues.

There will also be a practical focus on union recognition, including what happens if you are approached, your rights and obligations, and the role of the Central Arbitration Committee.

And, of course, redundancy - including the difficult bits employers often need to navigate carefully.

The value of these Employment Law Seminars comes from understanding how to respond to the changes.

Cas will talk about the conversations you need to be having internally, and practical steps HR teams and managers should be taking now to prepare.

When a role is urgent, it is natural to want CVs quickly.

But fast recruitment can be a false economy.

If the candidates have not been properly screened, qualified or understood, the process can quickly become more time-consuming.

More interviews.
More unsuitable candidates.
More back and forth.
More frustration for hiring managers.
More risk of making the wrong appointment.

Experienced recruitment is not just about speed.

It is about judgement.

Before sending candidates to a client, a good recruiter should understand the role, the business, the team, the salary expectations, the must-haves, the nice-to-haves and the areas where there may be flexibility.

They should also speak properly to the candidate.

Not just check availability.

Understand motivation.
Challenge gaps.
Assess expectations.
Explore fit.
Prepare them properly for interview.

That takes time, but it saves time later.

At Pursuit, we believe clients deserve more than a pile of CVs.

You need candidates who have been spoken to, assessed and matched with care.

Sometimes the quickest route to a successful hire is slowing down enough at the start to get it right.
