Question 1

Does Williams365 cost extra?

Accepted Answer

No. Williams365 is included as standard on every retained search. There is no additional premium, no opt-in fee, and no separate agreement to sign. The guarantee is part of the service.

Question 2

What counts as a qualifying departure under Williams365?

Accepted Answer

Williams365 covers resignation, mutual departure, and performance-related separation within the first twelve months. If you decide to let the hire go — or they choose to leave — the guarantee activates. The one exclusion: if the role itself is eliminated or materially changed from the original brief.

Question 3

How quickly will Williams Recruitment provide a replacement under Williams365?

Accepted Answer

The replacement search follows the same process: briefing, headhunting, assessment, shortlist. Typically 4–6 weeks to a shortlist. Williams365 activations are prioritized — your search moves to the front of the queue.

Question 4

What if we contributed to the hire not working out?

Accepted Answer

We use the replacement search to refine the brief — understanding what changed and what a stronger profile looks like. The guarantee still applies. We would rather fix the problem than assign blame.

Question 5

Can we claim Williams365 more than once for the same role?

Accepted Answer

Williams365 covers one replacement per placement. If the replacement hire also doesn't work out, we would have a detailed conversation about the role and the brief before running a third search.

Question 6

Does Williams365 apply to all role types?

Accepted Answer

Williams365 applies to all retained, permanent placements at Director level and above. It does not apply to contract, interim, or contingency arrangements.

Question 7

Is there any small print we should know about Williams365?

Accepted Answer

The full guarantee terms are provided in the engagement letter before any search begins. Core commitment: if the hire leaves or underperforms within twelve months, we re-run the search at no cost. The only exclusion is role elimination or a material change to the original position brief.

Question 8

How do we activate Williams365?

Accepted Answer

Contact Scott directly by email or phone. There is no formal claims process, no paperwork to submit, and no waiting period. A single conversation is all it takes to initiate the replacement search.
