Our professional standards.

We act with professionalism, discretion, and honesty in every engagement.
At People Placed, recruitment isn’t just about filling roles — it’s about upholding standards that earn trust, deliver results, and build relationships that last.

  • We only undertake an assignment when we are confident we can complete it to the client’s full satisfaction. Every project is managed with the aim of delivering measurable results and long-term value.goes here

  • We seek relationships that last. Our goal is to build partnerships based on mutual success, working with clients over time as their businesses evolve and grow.

  • We only present candidates who meet the agreed specification and who have been thoroughly screened and assessed by our team.
    We will never submit a candidate’s details or CV without their explicit consent.

  • We will never directly approach or engage with an employee of a client company unless agreed in advance.
    We do not subscribe to arbitrary “off-limits” time periods; we believe that once a client relationship is established, it deserves ongoing respect and protection.

  • To preserve objectivity and avoid conflicts of interest, we limit the number of clients we work with in any one industry or area of economic speciality. This ensures that each assignment receives our full focus and impartiality.

  • We guarantee complete confidentiality for both clients and candidates at every stage of the process. Trust is central to the way we work.

  • We operate on the basis of professional consultancy fees, agreed and fixed in advance. There are no hidden costs, and we do not accept fees from candidates — our advice and recommendations are entirely objective.
