About us
We’re the talent advisory partner for organisations embracing shifting markets, whirlwind change, and the need to attract, select and retain great people that never goes away. A connected, insight-led agency seamlessly blending strategy, delivery and customer impact, we help clients move from attraction through to hire and beyond. Our end-to-end commitment to excellence at all points of the candidate journey is built to two distinct and complementary business areas: Advise and Ignite.
Our POV
Our Work
Ignite
Ignite is where brands grow stronger, experiences become premium, and candidates become converts. From the first ‘hello’, we make your brand easier to find, love and choose. And once talent joins, our employee engagement and brand ambassador programmes help them thrive, grow faster and become champions of your culture. We’re strategists, creatives and advisors who elevate visibility through EVP development and employer branding rooted in truth. Add insight-led creativity, savvy media campaigns and tech wizardry, and this is recruitment marketing engineered for performance.
Advise
Advise is where strategy, science and consulting excellence meet the realities of your world. We decode your talent system, identify opportunities and build strategies that transform attraction, assessment, selection and retention. We design and deliver award-winning assessment centres, and assessor training. And we add the benefit of our RPO colleagues’ recruitment expertise. Think of it as consulting rigour with the creativity and pace of a talent specialist. The result? Sharper decisions, better hiring outcomes, reduced risk and a future-ready talent function – built to help you stay ahead.
The bigger picture
We are a key part of the international RPO organisation, PeopleScout. This gives us access to even deeper talent and recruitment expertise, insight and resources, as we work closely with our PeopleScout colleagues on a wide variety of at-scale RPO solutions across North America, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.
Diverse client base
We work with the widest range of private and public sector clients. From tech innovators, communications giants and household name retailers to the NHS, fire brigades and police forces.
Big bang of creativi
We understand the pressure: talent scarcity, sophisticated candidate expectations and hiring complexity. But the opportunities too: the big bang of creativity generated by AI and chance to rewrite the rules.
UK Armed Forces
When the UK government needed to appoint one talent attraction partner – for the first time ever – to help the nation recruit for the Royal Navy, British Army and the Royal Air Force, they came to us.
Outthink is all about delivering competitive advantage to our clients. It comes into its own in two market-leading components.
