How a Vast Staffing brief actually runs

Wider reach is only useful if the shortlist is calibrated. We pair a UK-wide candidate network with the discipline of a single named consultant per client, so the volume gets filtered before it reaches your desk.

Salary calibration before we start

If the band looks low for the role and the location, we will tell you before we start, not after the offer is rejected.

Vetted, ranked shortlist

Three to six candidates per brief, properly vetted, with our written notes attached.

Where we focus

Permanent placements only. Industrial, manufacturing and clinical healthcare sit best with sector specialists.
