We work commercial debt only. Our approach is firm, professional and designed to protect the client relationships that are still worth keeping.

Why recruitment agencies get paid late

The reasons are usually predictable, and every one of them is easier to solve with a third party doing the chasing:

  • Placement fees disputed after a candidate resigns
  • Rebate periods used as an excuse to withhold payment
  • Temp and contractor invoices paid weeks behind terms
  • Client insolvency leaving margin unpaid

The debts we recover

  • Permanent placement fees
  • Temp and contract margin invoices
  • Retained search instalments
  • Umbrella and payroll recharges

How our recovery process works

Every case follows a clear, structured route from first contact to payment.

  • Free review of the debt, contract and payment history
  • Formal demand issued on our letterhead, with statutory interest and compensation where applicable
  • Direct negotiation by phone and email, including payment plans where recovery is faster that way
  • Escalation to a pre-legal letter before action if the debtor stays silent
  • Introduction to independent regulated solicitors if court proceedings become necessary

No win, no fee

There is nothing to pay up front. We charge a percentage of what we recover, so our incentive is the same as yours: getting your money back quickly and in full.
