Why Ascension+

Recruiting is time-consuming and expensive, and there are no guarantees you'll hire the right person. We partner with you to remove that risk and the hidden costs of doing it yourself.

  • Face-to-face understanding of every client and candidate
  • Diverse, meritocratic shortlists as a source of competitive advantage
  • Honest, transparent communication at every stage
  • REC Code of Professional Practice compliant
About us
How we work

A considered process, not a numbers game

1

Listen

We meet every client and candidate face to face to understand the business, the culture and the brief properly.

2

Search

Targeted headhunting and a continually refreshed network, not a job-board scrape.

3

Match

A short, well-qualified shortlist of best-fit people, each interviewed and referenced by us first.

4

Support

Offer management, onboarding and check-ins long after the start date. The relationship doesn't end at placement.

What people say

Trusted by clients and candidates

★★★★★
They took the time to understand our studio before sending a single CV. The shortlist was small, and every person on it was right.

★★★★★
Honest about what was realistic, quick to respond, and I ended up in a role that fits far better than anything I'd found on my own.
Senior ProducerPlaced candidate
★★★★★
A refreshing change from the usual volume approach. They feel like part of our team rather than a supplier.
Head of PeopleArts organisation, South London
