How We Work

Our standards are
non-negotiable.

01
Quality Over Volume
Tight shortlists, clear candidate notes, deadline discipline. We do not send CVs to fill a quota. Every profile presented must be genuinely suitable.
02
Transparency
Salary ranges disclosed upfront, process checkpoints communicated clearly, candidate care maintained throughout. No surprises for clients or candidates.
03
Data Hygiene
Every CV, call and status update logged in the ATS. Pipeline cleanliness is not optional — it protects candidates, clients and the business.
04
Communication
Concise, proactive updates. Issues flagged early, not after the fact. We expect the same professional communication standards we hold our clients to.
Contract & Compliance

Driven by quality and professional ethics.

This is a self-employed, commission-only contractor engagement. There is no base salary. What you earn is entirely a function of what you place and collect. The upside is real — but so is the accountability.

  • Self-employed contractor status — you invoice Emerald Zebra per placement
  • Commission-only: 50% of net collected fees per placement you source and close
  • Confidentiality agreement required — client and candidate data is strictly protected
  • Full GDPR compliance required — all candidate data handled to EU standards
  • Rebates and guarantees per client T&Cs apply before commission is finalised
  • No exclusivity required — you may retain other clients outside our sector focus
