BID TALENT PARTNER

Hire for capability, not just a CV.

Hiring the right bid professional takes more than finding someone with the right job title. You need someone who can operate at the level your business requires — someone who can lead, influence, think commercially, manage complexity and ultimately help you win.

With 15+ years leading bid teams across construction, infrastructure and renewables, I bring real-world bid expertise into the hiring process. I'm not a recruitment agency and I don't charge placement fees. Instead I help you to define the capability you need, assess the people you've found and make a confident hiring decision.

THREE WAYS I CAN HELP YOU

A colorful infographic about talent strategy, recruiting needs, and creating a clear talent profile for better hiring decisions. Contains icons, a diagram, a cup of coffee, and text highlighting key points and pricing from Winning Business UK LTD.

TALENT STRATEGY

Know YOUR NEEDS BEFORE RECRUITING.

The problem isn't always finding candidates — sometimes it's knowing exactly who you need in the first place. I'll help you define the role around what your business actually needs to achieve, including the right level of seniority, capabilities, experience and measures of success.

Ideal for businesses creating a new role, replacing a senior hire or unsure where their bid function needs additional capability. You'll leave with a clear talent brief, a sharper candidate profile and a much stronger basis for assessing the people you find.

TALENT ASSESSMENT

You have the candidates. I’ll help you assess them.

A strong CV doesn’t necessarily make a strong bid professional. I’ll assess your shortlisted candidates through the lens of someone who has actually led bid teams — looking at capability, experience, leadership, commercial thinking, strategic ability and risk. In other words, can they really do the job, operate at the required level, influence others, think commercially and strategically, and deliver under pressure?

Ideal for businesses that already have candidates or a shortlist but want greater confidence before making an appointment. You’ll get an independent, experienced assessment without a recruitment agenda, giving you a clear view of which candidates deserve further consideration, where the gaps or risks are, and why.

TALENT PARTNER

Expert support WHERE YOU NEED IT.

For senior hires, you don't need another supplier sending you CVs — you need someone who understands the function you're building and what success looks like. As your Talent Partner, I work alongside your recruitment team to provide independent bid expertise throughout the process, from defining the role and candidate profile through to recruitment briefing, candidate assessment, interview design and participation, final comparison and hiring decision support.

Ideal for businesses hiring senior bid, proposal, pursuit or commercial talent where getting the appointment right really matters. Depending on your needs, I can also support 30/60/90-day success planning, giving you a clear framework for what the new hire needs to achieve. From £3,000/$4100 — one role, one hiring process, independent expertise throughout.

WHY ME?

Because I've been on the other side of the table.

I’ve spent 15+ years working in bids and leading high-performing teams across construction, infrastructure and renewable energy. I’ve recruited bid professionals, managed bid teams and worked alongside senior leadership — giving me first-hand insight into the difference between someone who looks right on paper and someone who can genuinely perform.

That’s the expertise I bring into your hiring process. Not recruitment. Not CV forwarding. Expert judgement. An independent perspective grounded in real bid experience, helping you make better decisions about the people you’re trusting to win business.
