We help companies hire difficult, transformation-critical talent through real recruiter intelligence — not automation, not fluff, and not generic agencies.
When hiring is paused, budgets are tight, and expectations are high, every role carries risk.
Substance is engaged when companies need to get a hire right — not fast, not cheap, but right…
Most hiring fails not because of a lack of candidates — but because of poor judgment, weak screening, and misaligned expectations. We work closely with hiring leaders to define what good actually looks like, before a single profile is shared.
We don’t send volume. We don’t rely on automation. We don’t outsource thinking.
Every search is handled directly by senior recruiters with deep market context and hiring experience — because hard roles demand informed judgment, not speed.
We don’t over-promise. We don’t oversell. We don’t disappear after sending CVs. Many clients work with Substance because we are direct, transparent, and deeply involved — from role definition to offer closure.
Every mandate is led end-to-end by experienced recruiters — not juniors, not bots, and not layered account teams. You work with the person doing the thinking, the outreach, and the screening.
Trusted by hiring leaders who value judgment, transparency, and delivery.
Having worked with numerous recruitment firms, Deema stood out as one of the most reliable and trusted partner. She is prompt, responsive and when it comes to understanding our business and hiring challenges, advising us on the next step to improvise the process and selection and her execution - she is spot on. I truly enjoyed working with Deema, and would not hesitate to recommend her to other hiring managers.
We had a number of recruitment partners. But as a recruiter, Deema stood out as a reliable partner. Her dilligence, responsiveness and most importantly her exceptional recruiting skills helped drive the hiring process and closure of candidates more quicker than it normally would. Her consistent drive to obtain feedback helped her understand the business and team hiring requirements. This resulted in higher quality candidates positioned for us.
Deema stood out from the crowd. She has proven highly effective in providing Temenos with numerous and quality senior candidates. She worked hard and also very strategic in how she approach to identify and fill the role. She is transparent throughout the process and never fails to keep us posted, which many recruitment partners failed to do. She is direct, honest and she is great recruiting partner to work with!
Deema had only one role to work on, for us but showed her dedication. She managed to source good and passive candidates within a short time frame.
She provided a valuable pre-placement advise which no other recruiters did.
We work with a selective group of professionals and reach out when there’s genuine alignment — not mass job alerts.
We work with hiring leaders to define what “good” actually looks like — before outreach begins. Misaligned roles create weak shortlists. We prevent that upfront.
Every candidate is screened by experienced recruiters, not junior layers or automation.
We prioritise judgment, context, and fit over volume.
From brief to offer, searches are handled hands-on with direct accountability. No handoffs. No disappearing acts. No inflated pipelines.
