Stone & Co People Management



We’re in a market where skills evolve quickly, candidate expectations are shifting, and AI is reshaping the way we source, assess, and decide.

Yet many organisations are still hiring reactively, filling gaps instead of building long-term talent advantage.

This is where retained partnership matters.

When I work with companies on a retained basis, we don’t just fill roles. We rethink, re-align, and rebuild how talent is attracted, selected, and retained, so it works now and scales later.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

✅ A Talent Acquisition Strategy aligned to business goals, not vacancies
✅ Hiring frameworks that reduce bias and improve decision-making
✅ Modern attraction methods that speak to what candidates actually value
✅ Assessment processes that balance human intuition + data + AI
✅ A consistent, inclusive candidate experience that strengthens brand reputation.

Recruitment isn’t about speed anymore – it’s about clarity, consistency, and strategic alignment.

And in a market where AI can find skills…
your competitive advantage is how well you understand, engage, and retain people.

If your organisation is scaling, transforming, or simply feeling the shift – a retained talent partner ensures you don’t just keep up…
You lead.
