When scaling businesses think about growth, technology, and products often take center stage. Yet, the real engine of sustainable success is people. Recognizing this, Peeq has positioned itself as a boutique HR recruitment consultancy that not only fills roles but shapes the future of workplaces through strategic, thoughtful HR hiring. What sets Peeq apart isn’t just its expertise—it’s the human approach at the heart of everything it does.
Founded by a husband-and-wife duo in London, Peeq was born from a simple idea: HR recruitment should be personal, precise, and impactful. For leaders navigating the complexities of growing businesses, finding the right HR talent often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. Peeq removes that burden. By taking care of job descriptions, candidate sourcing, and screening, the agency allows business leaders to focus on growth, while ensuring the people they hire align perfectly with their culture and ambitions.
Boutique Expertise, Powerful Results
Unlike traditional recruitment firms, Peeq is boutique by design. Its model is built around self-employed HR recruiters—affectionately known as “Peeqers”—who bring both independence and accountability to every search. This structure ensures dedication, tenacity, and unmatched focus on results. The proof lies in the numbers: Peeq boasts a remarkable 92% fill rate, nearly double the industry standard, and a 5-star Google rating that reflects client trust and satisfaction.
Peeq’s approach is tailored. Clients can choose from three recruitment packages, paying only for what they need. Whether it’s hiring a permanent HR professional, engaging an interim contractor, or promoting vacancies on Peeq’s specialized HR Job Board, every solution is designed for flexibility, efficiency, and measurable impact.
Strategic HR Recruitment That Powers Growth
Scaling businesses often reach a point where products and services alone can’t sustain growth. What they need is a robust people strategy. Peeq understands that the right HR hire does more than manage compliance or benefits—it protects company culture, empowers teams, and drives organizational performance.
Permanent HR hires form the cornerstone of this strategy. By placing mid-to-senior HR professionals, Peeq ensures businesses have leaders who nurture their workforce, align strategy with operational needs, and provide stability during periods of rapid change. For organizations seeking flexibility, Peeq also offers interim HR solutions. From maternity cover to complex project support, these contractors bring immediate expertise exactly when it’s needed, helping businesses stay agile without sacrificing quality.
For companies looking to reach broader talent pools, Peeq’s HR Job Board offers targeted exposure to a curated network of HR professionals. Combined with newsletter campaigns and LinkedIn promotion, this platform allows organizations to attract top talent efficiently, without the cost and complexity of traditional recruitment methods.
Assessing Growth Potential through HR
Beyond recruitment, Peeq empowers businesses with insights into their people function. The HR for Growth Assessment evaluates every aspect of an organization’s HR strategy—from compliance to culture—and identifies opportunities to optimize performance. In just a few minutes, business leaders receive actionable insights that allow them to align HR initiatives with growth objectives, ensuring teams are both resilient and high-performing.
A Promise to HR Candidates
Peeq’s human-first approach isn’t reserved for employers. HR and talent acquisition professionals seeking new opportunities benefit from the agency’s dedication to individualized support. In a market where redundancies and role shortages can feel overwhelming, Peeq offers guidance, feedback, and access to high-quality opportunities that align with career aspirations.
Every candidate is treated as a partner rather than a commodity. Whether it’s through one-on-one advice, resources like the “Get Hired” guide, or direct application access to handpicked roles, Peeq ensures professionals are empowered to succeed. Candidates are never left in the dark—feedback is guaranteed, communication is transparent, and every interaction is handled with care.
The agency’s focus on mid-to-senior HR professionals in technology-driven, growth-oriented organizations means it delivers precise matches that benefit both employers and employees. Long-term outcomes speak volumes: 94% of successfully placed candidates remain in their roles or advance within 12 months, reflecting Peeq’s commitment to finding talent that truly makes a difference.
