| What matters | Doing it yourself | Lead-generation agency | ClientFlow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your attention | Researching and chasing employers takes time from searches. BD slips when delivery gets busy. | If delivery stops at a list, your team still has to turn it into conversations. | We run daily outbound. You focus on sales conversations and recruitment. |
| Setup & tools | You assemble the tools, configure inboxes and keep them working. | Setup fees and separate tools can add to the retainer before conversations start. | We manage sending infrastructure, data and tools within the agreed scope. |
| Relevant opportunities | You verify hiring demand, decision-making access and willingness to use a recruiter. | Booked calls only help when hiring need and fit are checked. | Live hiring research and agreed checks for authority, recruiter openness and commercial fit. |
| Replies & booking | You chase replies, handle objections and coordinate calendars. | Leads handed over without follow-up leave the chasing and qualification with you. | We handle replies, qualify interest and book with a meeting brief. |
| Your reputation | You write and monitor every message while managing exclusions. | Generic messages risk the reputation you built. Approval and exclusions matter before outreach. | You approve targeting, messages and exclusions. We show the work and next actions. |
| Investment | Tools and subscriptions, plus owner or team time. | Retainer or per-meeting fees; setup and tools may cost extra. | Flat monthly fee. |

We track accepted meetings, engagements, placements and new employers that have paid recruitment fees. We review sales feedback to improve targeting and follow-up. Ten new billing clients is the annual objective; your written agreement defines delivery commitments.
We research employers, build infrastructure, run outreach, handle replies, qualify interest, book meetings and provide sales support. You agree targeting, approve messaging and proof, lead sales calls, close engagements and deliver recruitment, including placing candidates.
We serve manufacturing and industrial, accounting and finance, construction, supply chain, software, AI and fintech, technical B2B sales, and life sciences recruitment firms. We shape outreach around your specialism, hiring buyers and growth goals.
Agree existing-client exclusions, contact limits and messaging before launch. Important commercial messages require owner approval. A live advert alone does not qualify a meeting: confirm the requirement, decision-making access, openness to a recruiter and commercial fit. Outreach still carries deliverability and account risks.
We agree volume around your market, fees, conversion and capacity. Launch follows approved targeting, copy, infrastructure and calendar setup; your written agreement sets out delivery commitments.
Discuss investment and delivery scope on your call, including any additional desks or specialisms. Standard’s existing six-month term, with an exit after month three, remains unchanged; your written agreement defines billing and delivery commitments.
Talk through the clients you want to win, what we would own, what stays with you and how we would review progress.
