Your shortcut to trusted, high-quality learning and talent partners.

Finding the right provider for leadership development, talent or OD work shouldn’t feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But it often does. The market is crowded, noisy and constantly shifting - with new players, evolving tech, and bold promises everywhere you turn.

If you're short on time, focus or capacity – and still need to get it right - the Talent Solutions Brokerage is here to help.

We connect organisations with trusted, well-matched providers. Quickly. Thoughtfully. And with care.

Talent Solutions Brokerage

Why we created this service

As talent and leadership professionals ourselves, we’ve sat on both sides of the table. We know what it’s like to be under pressure to find the right solution fast - without time to trawl the market or wade through glossy proposals. We also know there’s no shortage of great providers out there. But the best ones for the need you have can get missed because they’re not on your radar and simply aren’t visible to the right buyers.

So, we’re doing something about it.

Our Talent Solutions Brokerage is a strategic matchmaking service. We connect learning professionals with brilliant learning and talent partners who fit the brief and deliver real impact.

How it works

We’re not a directory. We don’t hand you a list and wish you luck. This is a hands-on, human-led process - tailored to your needs.

1. We take the brief
We listen and get to the heart of what’s really going on. We want to know your goals, company challenges and the results you’re looking for from a talent solution. Budget, scope, culture and delivery preferences all matter. We take the time to get understand you and get the brief right.

2. We curate a shortlist
Using our deep network and market knowledge, we find providers who are available and aligned to your needs. We vet each provider for quality, fit, and approach. Where helpful, we also support them the providers in shaping their response - so you get clearer, better proposals – making your selection process smoother.

3. We help you move forward
We stay close to the process - making it easy for both sides to agree scope, outcomes and terms. That might mean clarifying offers, bridging expectations, and keeping momentum going.

Why it’s worth investing in

The cost of getting the talent solution wrong is high. Wasted budget, missed impact, lost time. Resources that most HR and L&D teams simply don’t have. Many are already stretched to the limit.

Our brokerage service helps you:

Save time and energy
Cut through a crowded vendor market
Avoid expensive false starts
Get the right provider first time
Deliver more value to your organisation - faster

This is a paid service. Like a retained recruiter or a mortgage broker, we charge for the value we add. Depending on the situation – this may be on the client side, the provider side, or a mix of both. We always offer clear, transparent pricing upfront. That way, you have the option to select a one-off search or take on a retained arrangement. Whatever best suits your needs.

Who is the brokerage service for?

HR and Talent leaders who want fresh thinking and reliable delivery - without the search and sift
Organisations with lean L&D teams and urgent priorities
Independent and boutique providers looking to connect with the right-fit clients

Why us?

We’re not agents. We’re not salespeople. We’re experienced talent professionals who understand this world inside out. We care about quality, fit and outcomes - not just who shouts the loudest. Because we know our community - and they know us - we’re in a unique position to help make the right connections, at the right time.
