Who we are

We know your language.

Talencia is a specialist recruitment practice built on experience from inside the profession. Before recruiting accountants, we were one. Working inside Big 4 and mid-tier firms, navigating the same environments our clients and candidates deal with every day. That background shapes how we ask questions, how we read people and how we match on the things that don't show up on paper.

Our approach

Structure over instinct.

Every engagement starts with a roadmap of goals, gaps, culture, trajectory. Not assumptions. Every decision that follows is measured against it. From the first conversation to one year in, we stay close to both sides so expectations stay aligned.

How we work

Six stages. One process. One point of contact.

Every engagement runs the same way. A clear process from first conversation through to a twelve-month review. Precision over volume. You'll always know where things stand and why.

Stage 01
Discovery
Clarity before movement.

Goals, motivations, exposure gaps and flexibility. All mapped before a single role is discussed.

Stage 02
Filter & Align
Precision over volume. Alignment over assumptions.

Narrowing the field. Matching roles to the roadmap. Culture, trajectory and terms. In that order.

Stage 03
Prepare
Potential becomes performance when prepared properly.

Remove uncertainty. Clear technical, behavioural and communication preparation. Clients briefed with the same clarity. Nothing left to chance.

Stage 04
Interview
A better experience for both sides.

Structured, transparent and expectation-aligned interviews. Both parties walk in prepared and walk out confident.

Stage 05
Offer & Negotiation
Fairness doesn't happen by accident.

Terms negotiated with experience and balance. Both sides start day one on the right foot.

Stage 06
Measure — The Feedback Loop
We stay accountable after the offer.

Six structured check-ins over 12 months. Measuring whether the goals from Stage 1 are being lived in reality. Making adjustments along the way.

Post-placement check-in cycle

We don't disappear after signing day.

Six structured touchpoints with both employer and candidate over 12 months. Closing the gap between what was agreed and what lands.
