Recruitment
Find the right person for your business.
Red Cannon provides straightforward permanent recruitment support for growing businesses. We handle candidate sourcing, screening and introductions while working closely with employers to understand the role, the business, the team and what success actually looks like.
Straightforward recruitment, done properly.
We don't simply post a vacancy and wait for applications.
Our approach combines direct search, targeted advertising, candidate networks, referrals and local connections to find people who genuinely fit both the position and the business.
Permanent recruitment is typically provided on a contingency basis, with commercial terms agreed before the search begins.
The process
The process
Initial conversation
We start by understanding the business, vacancy, team, responsibilities, salary expectations and what type of person is likely to succeed.
Candidate sourcing
Depending on the role, we use direct search, targeted advertising, candidate networks, referrals and local connections.
Screening and shortlisting
Candidates are spoken to before being introduced. We assess their experience, motivations, expectations, availability and suitability for the business.
Candidate introductions
We only introduce candidates we genuinely believe are worth the client's time. The objective is quality rather than sending large numbers of CVs.
Interview through to offer
Red Cannon remains involved throughout the process, including interview coordination, feedback, offer discussions and candidate communication.

Flexible
Every business and vacancy is different, so the search is built around the requirement.
Local
Red Cannon has a strong focus on Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and the surrounding region.
