Why Stonor?
The reasons clients come back.
01
Save your time
No lengthy briefings or wasted CVs. We already know your sector and your competitors, so you spend minutes, not hours, bringing us up to speed.
02
Stop the bad hires
Mis-hires are expensive and demoralising. Our network and 5-star Google reviews mean you only meet candidates who actually fit and want to stay.
03
One point of contact
No handovers, no chasing. One consultant guides you and your candidates from first call to first day, so nothing slips through the cracks.
04
Protect your cashflow
Big upfront fees can stall hiring just when you need to grow. Our flexible terms, including interest-free PAYG over 12 months, let you scale without the strain.
Success Stories
Real briefs. Real outcomes.
The Challenge
A small, ambitious Oxfordshire based marketing agency landed a game-changing client but needed to scale fast. Hiring hybrid talent locally was tough, and traditional recruitment fees risked draining cash at a critical growth stage. They faced a classic catch-22: grow the team and risk cashflow, or stay small and limit the business capacity.
Our Solution
Our “Pay as you grow” model was ideal. We:
Set up a 12-month, interest-free payment plan per hire
Met hiring managers to understand requirements
Crafted a compelling story of the agency's vision for candidates
Mapped the commutable area to find the right people
Pitched each role, selling the opportunity and long-term potential
The Result
The agency has scaled from a handful of staff to over 25. When a hire didn't work out, we replaced them, ensuring the agency only paid for active contributors, proving the model works.
Our Process
Four steps. No surprises.
01Step 1
Consultation
For us to represent your business properly, we need to understand your specific hiring needs and company culture. We meet all clients either online or (where possible) in person. It's important that both sides understand the process.
02Step 2
Candidate Search
Your dedicated consultant advertises the role(s) on LinkedIn and any other sector specific job boards eg Campaign, Marketing Week etc. A comprehensive search is conducted to identify and engage with relevant candidates.
03Step 3
Screening
We perform rigorous screening against agreed criteria to ensure candidates meet your technical and cultural requirements. Our consultants are representatives of your business and we take that responsibility seriously. We quickly become brand advocates to tell your company's story just as you would.
04Step 4
Placement
We carefully manage the offer to give you every possible chance of securing the chosen candidate. Once the offer is accepted we keep in regular contact with the candidate during their probation to ensure a smooth transition and onboarding process. In 2025 our offer to acceptance ratio was over 90%.
One sizedoesn'tfit all…
Rigid recruitment fees and one-size contracts shouldn't get in the way of your growth. Pick the model that fits your cashflow and your hiring pace, not ours.
