CFO, IMO
"The innovative monthly 'subscription' model launched by Refreshing has worked really well for us".
Group CFO, Kaplan International
“Refreshing's monthly subscription model has already saved us £16,000 in just nine weeks, with the rest of the year’s recruitment effectively free. The partnership feels genuinely deep, the team’s understanding of our business is impressive, and they’re fantastic to work with. A complete no-brainer and outstanding value that I believe could change the whole market.”
The Hidden Risk in 2025 and 2026
​
-
1 in 3 financial professionals are open to leaving their firm within 12 months.
-
Replacing a mid-level hire in London costs £50k+ once you add recruitment fees, training, and lost productivity.
-
In a low-hiring market, losing key staff hurts more than not hiring at all.
​
​​​​​​
​Why Contingency Recruitment Can Fail You
​
-
Only activates after damage is done.
-
Expensive, unpredictable, and purely transactional.
-
Offers no protection against talent attrition.
