Starfish Search awarded a place on ESPO’s Strategic HR Services framework (3S)
Services we offer under the framework include:
- Lot 1, Executive and Managerial Interim Recruitment
- Lot 2, Executive and Managerial Permanent Recruitment
Accessing our services via ESPO ensures your organisation is procuring services compliantly with procurement regulations and can save you valuable time – offering public sector organisations the benefit of accessing without having to run a full procurement process.
What’s more, it’s free-to-access and suppliers on the framework were assessed during the procurement process for their financial stability, track record, experience and technical & professional ability. You can also choose to call off directly – a route that considerably speeds up time – or access via further competition depending on your requirements.

Why we should all be doing more to celebrate leaders in 2025
What does it really take to lead organisations in 2025? The question has been in my mind for a while, prompted partly by the state of flux we continue to find ourselves in. I’ve also been speaking for many months now to chief executives about the challenges they’re facing and their personal and professional struggles as they try to forge a path forward. Some are more open than others, yet their comments can still make me stop in my tracks.
