02

Consultants on the phone, not in the ATS

Call notes, updates and follow-ups captured and drafted for them.

Past candidates and clients resurfaced for the roles you're working now.

Questions

The things people ask first.

What size of firm is this for?

Professional services firms with 5 to 50 staff in Ireland and the UK: recruiters, agencies, consultancies and others that sell expertise.

How long do we sign up for?

The assessment stands on its own. The partnership is 12 months, billed monthly in advance.

What if it doesn't work?

If the first result isn't live and measured by day 90, you can leave on one month's notice.

How does the assessment credit work?

Sign within 30 days of the playback and the assessment fee comes off months 1 to 3. A €3,000 assessment followed by Growth means €4,000 a month for those three months.

Who does the work?

Peter leads every engagement and signs off everything that ships. Builds are delivered by a vetted delivery engineer, a named subcontractor, working to Third Act's specs inside your own systems.

What isn't included?

Work beyond your monthly allowance, which is quoted first, and software licences, which stay in your firm's name. We build the system with your team, and your team runs it.

How much of our time does it take?

A named owner for about two hours a week, access to the data we agree, and decisions within five working days.

Is our data safe?

A written data policy comes first. Your data is never used to train models, and it stays in the systems you already control.

It's your firm, finally getting its act together.

Thirty minutes. I ask questions, I don't pitch.
