Human Insight

The world of recruitment has changed. The barriers to entry have vanished. What was once the exclusive domain of agencies with proprietary databases is now open to everyone.   

With a few clicks and a subscription to the right tools, anyone can access the same online profiles. AI can write job descriptions, filter resumes, and even run first-round interviews. 

But this has created a new, more dangerous problem: a cycle of automation talking to automation. AI-written resumes applying to AI-written job posts, screened by AI bots. Everyone’s communicating through their AI champion of choice. What could possibly go wrong?

The answer is a disastrous flood of costly hiring mistakes, waiting to happen as soon as the open market picks up.

This is where we come in.

  • We embrace AI and automation to handle the mundane.
  • We focus on what technology can’t do.
  • We hire people, not algorithms.
  • We vet for substance.
  • We speak to you.

The line between real and fabricated has never been blurrier…

With AI ghostwriting the job market, separating genuine achievement from machine-made simulation has never been tougher. And with 28% of jobseekers admitting to using AI’s “poetic licence,” people are crying out for someone to just tell them the truth!

We trust our intuition, back our experience, and call out BS to uncover what’s actually real.

Why risk hiring an “unknown” from a job board?

We present professionals who carry the Saltworth rosette of approval. You’ll meet them well before the rest of the market even knows they’re looking. Our local networks are stronger than ever, full of people we’ve known for years. Good people know good people and that will never change. But a strong network is only the beginning…

The human art that no algorithm can replicate.

One subtle cue can mean the difference between a hire that sticks and one that fails within 12 months. It’s hearing the slightest hesitation in the tone of a candidate’s voice when they say ‘yes’ and knowing, with certainty, it isn’t really a full acceptance. It’s sensing when a prime candidate needs support to get through a challenging interview process or recognising the early signs of a counteroffer when they’re terrified to resign.

Sound judgment and wise choices are human-engineered.

Decisions make and break careers and businesses, and must balance the best interests of all involved. A well-informed alignment creates lasting success and remains an enduring factor behind our 5-year, 85% retention record.

We offer our 2-year placement guarantee with confidence.

We listen, consult, advise, and talk.

Recruitment should bring people together, not bury them in a data-driven doom loop. While bots screen fabricated resumes, we’re having real conversations that uncover the truth and build genuine commitment.

The meaning behind Saltworth says it best: people worth their salt, doing work worth paying for.

When you call us, you’ll speak to someone who understands your world and knows how to make things happen. Because sometimes, you just want to pick up the phone and talk to a proper person who knows what they’re doing.
