Flexible approach

There's no one-size-fits-all here. From cost-effective, flexible payment options to a bespoke service tailored precisely to your needs, we deliver recruitment solutions that actually work for your business.

Mutual trust

Great recruitment requires trust and mutual respect, so we're selective about who we work with. To present your business to top-tier candidates, we need to believe in you, which is why we vet our clients too.

Our reviews

Don't just take our word for it — see what our clients are saying in their latest reviews.

Having never used an external resource for recruitment I had reservations initially. I decided to give Tom a couple of roles I was struggling with on a trial basis. That was over 2 years ago and now TLB Consulting has become our recruitment partner . As our businesses has grown Tom has supported this with the fulfilment of various roles, from Junior to senior positions. Tom has proven himself to be a great asset to our business and always has our best interests at heart. I couldn’t recommend his services highly enough.

Smart Estate Agent

We were quite fussy with our requirements as we wanted the right person, not just any person. Tom understood exactly what we were looking for and put forward the perfect fit for our company. During the process, Tom was professional and took responsibility to ensure that only the best candidates were sent to us to minimize the disruption to our business day. Tom sourced someone who not only had the qualifications required for the job but also had the right attitude and personality. This saved us many wasted hours and we would definitely use this service again for any of our recruitment needs.

Mina R
Arcken

We have used Tom (TLB Consulting) to help us recruit for a few positions over the last few years. The latest was an important role that would play a big part in the future growth plans of our business, so it needed to be the right person. Tom took the time to understand our requirements, not only the skills and experience but also the personality and attitude to fit in with our current team. Tom was honest and upfront with the process and managed to find the perfect candidate (first time), this saved us a lot of time and money so we could concentrate on our day-to-day responsibilities. Tom has also helped our business, with non-recruitment related tasks and is always on hand for advice, I have recommended Tom to other contacts who have been looking for assistance and would not hesitate to do so again.
