Turning Conversations into Partnerships: How Jack made HRS the Exclusive Recruitment Partner for a CQV Specialist Firm

 Turning Conversations into Partnerships: How HRS Became the Exclusive Recruitment Partner for a CQV Specialist Firm 

At HRS, we don’t just fill vacancies - we build partnerships that support business growth and long-term impact. In a standout example, Senior Consultant Jack Greenwood leveraged modern networking techniques to secure an exclusive recruitment agreement with a growing Engineering and CQV business. The story not only highlights Jack’s entrepreneurial approach but also shows how HRS partners with organisations that are scaling fast and aiming higher.

 

Spotting Opportunity in the CQV Market🌐 

While researching key players in the CQV space, Jack noticed the company’s founder was particularly active in the industry - sharing insight, leading innovation, and building something of substance.

The more Jack learned about their vision and pace of growth, the more it felt like a company that HRS should be supporting - not just observing.

Recognising the potential alignment, Jack followed up a phone conversation and soon after with a business proposal. He suggested working together on upcoming projects and was quickly invited to meet the next generation of the leadership team.

 

 Relationship First, Business Follows☕

That first meeting didn’t take place in a boardroom - it happened in a local cafe. And while the setting was casual, the conversation was anything but.

“We spoke about their growth goals, upcoming hires, and the challenges that come with scaling an engineering-focused business in such a regulated sector,” Jack explains. “It was clear they needed a recruitment partner - not a transactional service.”

By the end of the meeting, HRS was appointed as their exclusive recruitment partner.

 

Immediate Value, Long-Term Potential📈 

In the first six weeks, HRS delivered two permanent hires - including a Business Operations Manager who has already played a pivotal role in helping the company win new projects and expand delivery capacity.

Jack wasn’t just talking about CVs. He was talking about commercial impact, market mapping, and long-term workforce planning. “That’s where we at HRS add real value.”

 

Why This Partnership Works🤝 

So, what made this business a great fit for HRS?

“They’re agile and ambitious.” Jack notes. “Their founder is passionate, and it was clear he wanted to build the right kind of team, not just scale for the sake of it. That aligns perfectly with how we work.”

The company had also recently secured investment and was entering a critical phase of expansion. They needed a partner who could support not just permanent hiring, but also overspill project work as they scaled operations across multiple regions.

 

Supporting Companies Ready for Growth

While this partnership began with one conversation and two placements, it’s grown into something more meaningful - an ongoing relationship built on trust, agility, and shared ambition.

For companies navigating growth, investment, or regulatory transformation, this story demonstrates what’s possible when recruitment is approached strategically.

Jack is proud of the results - but more importantly, he’s proud of the trust that’s been built. Jack is proof that the right recruitment partner can be a growth enabler, not just a supplier.
