FAQs

Will my job search be kept confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is at the heart of our process. Whether you’re a client or candidate, all information is treated with discretion and managed securely.

How long does a typical sales leadership search take?

Each search is different and tailored to the clients needs. On average, our searches take 6–8 weeks. This ensures we run a comprehensive process that identifies, evaluates, and secures the best possible candidates for your role. For a fractional or interim role, this process would be much quicker to enable an immediate impact.

Why should we use a headhunter instead of our internal team?

Internal teams are invaluable, but when it comes to senior commercial hires, the best talent is often passive and invisible to traditional recruitment methods. Specialist headhunters bring unrivalled market knowledge, global networks, and the credibility to engage high-impact leaders discreetly. At tml Partners, we connect clients with sales and commercial executives that internal teams often can’t reach – ensuring you secure talent that delivers lasting growth and competitive advantage.

tml Partners is honestly the most professional, welcoming, and inspiring place I've ever worked. I never thought I'd be able to find a recruitment business that could accommodate a working mum, make it ok to work part time, and also feel completely included in all business activities and goals.
