About Carson & Gray

We recruit for recruitment agencies, and only for recruitment agencies. It is a narrow specialism and a deliberate one.

The roles inside an agency are not interchangeable. A stretched delivery function and a thin pipeline look identical on a job spec and need completely different people.

Every desk we fill is worked remotely, from South Africa, for an agency somewhere else. That arrangement has its own ways of going wrong, so we assess for it directly rather than assuming a good recruiter is automatically a good remote one.

That starts with how an agency is structured today: which desks are stretched, where candidate flow breaks down, and who would actually relieve the pressure. The answer is rarely simply “another recruiter”.

Start with a conversation, not a shortlist.

Come with the job title you think you need. We will ask what it is meant to fix, and often that changes the answer. Either way you will know by the end of the call.
