Permanent Recruitment

Finding exceptional talent is hard. Scaling at pace while preserving your culture is even harder.

In a market where talent acquisition remains the biggest barrier to scale-up growth, you need more than just another recruiter. You need a partner who understands that a mis-hire at Series A could cost you six months of momentum. Who knows why senior developers aren't responding to your outreach. Who can tell you exactly what the top marketing professionals are looking for.

That's Propel. We're specialists in scaling tech, marketing, and commercial teams, combining deep industry knowledge with exclusive talent networks to solve your most pressing hiring challenges. Whether you're building your first UK leadership team or expanding internationally, we deliver the talent that drives your next growth phase.

Your Scaling Challenges, Solved

We get it - scaling a company means you're battling multiple hiring challenges simultaneously. You're pursuing that perfect CRO who's scaled a SaaS platform before, while your software team needs to double in three months. Your competitors are fishing in the same talent pool, and you've got a day job to do.

That's where we step in. By getting to know your business inside and out - your goals, challenges, and DNA - we take on that hiring burden. We understand that each scaling journey is unique, which is why every search is tailored to you. Whether it's managing compensation expectations in a volatile market or finding leaders who can build high-performing remote teams, we provide solutions backed by real market intelligence and a deep understanding of your growth aspirations.
