a different approach
to headhunting
The FMC headhunting service is different because...
- it is offered for a fixed fee, based on time expended, rather than a percentage of salary
- it is non sector-specific; our disciplined approach is effective in all sectors
- it delivers results within agreed timescales
- it can be used for filling lower level positions where there are recognised skills shortages.

client views

HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL
"We have found FMC to be highly professional and motivated towards providing first class HR solutions for our business." Peter Nelson, AvestaPolarit Precision Strip

IMPRESSED BY QUALITY OF SERVICE
"We have worked with FMC for four years and have always been impressed by their professionalism and quality of service. We have built a strong working relationship based on a clear understanding of our business, culture and drivers." Clare Bolton, Turley Associates
response builder
One of the great benefits of the FMC approach to headhunting is that our service can be tailored for use in creative new ways.
Response builder is an example: adverts alone can yield a poor return on investment, even with costly multiple insertions. Awareness raising through the FMC Response Builder service makes your adverts more effective by bringing them to the attention of a relevant, well-researched candidate short list.
This has proved popular in the public sector, where advertising is mandatory.
The result?
- You get a much more efficient, controlled use of your recruitment budget
- You operate within your mandatory code of practice, and still benefit from advertising to wide audience
- You get the rapid results and precision of a headhunting service to boost your results.
THE FMC APPROACH TO HEADHUNTING
FMC finds candidates for all sizes and types of organisations. We fill diverse professional roles from software engineers to board-level directors in the UK, Europe and beyond.
Our charging structure is based on time expended, rather than a percentage of salary. This means we offer a competitive solution for almost any role, and that you can quickly realise economies of scale if you have multiple similar roles to fill.
We can even provide a cost effective service for filling lower level positions where you wouldn’t conventionally consider briefing a headhunter - especially in areas where there is a recognised skills shortage and multiple similar positions.
A TAILORED HEADHUNTING SERVICE
FMC ensures client satisfaction through a flexible approach that allows us to tailor a process to meet the client’s specific needs. The FMC headhunting team offers a high level of service at every stage of the recruitment process, from candidate sourcing through to profiling, vetting, selection and contractual negotiation.
There are no restrictions to how our services are used. Many clients benefit by cherry picking the elements they need to extend and complement their own internal resources, building recruitment solutions that work for them.
FMC IS AN ETHICAL HEADHUNTER
We’re not a sector-specific headhunter. Our innovative methodology works in all sectors, and we have very broad experience.
The benefits to our clients are:
- we don’t “recycle” candidates we’ve already placed
- we don’t present CVs from a standing bank of “make-weights”
- we don’t operate for your competitors (except with your permission)
- we’re effective for nearly any role you may have.
Our consultants work within a strict ethical code of conduct: we are always discreet, open with our clients, and honest with everyone, including the candidates we propose.
A CLIENT-DRIVEN MENU-BASED APPROACH TO OUTPLACEMENT
FMC delivers clearly defined modular solutions to retention and outplacement requirements for organisations across the UK. A basic core level of support is complemented by a client-driven menu-based approach, enabling selection of only those elements of an outplacement service that are necessary and relevant to the individual’s needs.
FMC ensures that clients are able to offer a range of tailored sector-specific outplacement support services, at a cost that is transparent and capped.
CONTROLLING THE PROCESS
With FMC the process is controlled:
- we agree the costs before we start
- we agree the project plan in advance, with well-defined milestones
- we work to defined lead time.
