Not what we promise — how we behave when hiring gets difficult.
Most recruitment models are built to show progress:
That works when hiring is low-risk.
When roles matter, it creates noise.
Substance operates on a different constraint:
if something doesn’t move the decision forward, we remove it.
We don’t:
These aren’t efficiency choices.
They’re risk controls.
The biggest difference usually shows up in:
Good judgement rarely looks impressive.
It just prevents expensive mistakes.
Every recruiter at Substance has:
We’ve lived with:
That context shapes how cautious — or firm — our recommendations are.
This way of working usually means:
You give up
You gain
This model isn’t designed to feel busy.
It’s designed to hold up under scrutiny.
the role is hard to replace, internal alignment matters, mistakes are expensive or reputation with candidates matters!
That’s not a judgement.
It’s a boundary.
If you’re weighing confidence over speed,
this is worth a conversation.
We believe that any success at Substance comes from two things: our people and our people. They are our DNA, defining who we are, how we operate, and how we handle disagreements with each other.

Sometimes the best ideas come from simple conversations. The name *Substance* wasn’t brainstormed in a boardroom or chosen by a branding agency—it came from a real, unfiltered chat with my partner.

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of Substance, set to take place at the end of October. As we prepare to open our doors to the global business community, we want to share our mission, our values, and why we’ve decided to launch at this pivotal moment in time.

Twenty years ago, the future seemed clear. Engineering was hailed as the golden ticket for job security, growth, and prosperity. But the future had other plans, with today's careers creating both new opportunities and challenges for today’s workforce.
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.
