There’s now a better way to deliver mission-critical projects

Most consulting engagements are designed to extend. Ours are designed to end - with your team owning the solution and feeling the momentum. We embed proven subject matter experts into your projects, deliver to your timeline and commercial model, and hand back complete ownership on exit.

BENEFITS OF OUR APPROACH

Built for projects where there's no room for compromise

Project-team

The team you meet is the team that delivers

Same team, start to finish. No junior consultants backfilled after the pitch. Every SME we assign has an average of 20+ years experience coupled with deep domain knowledge - and they stay with your project from scope to handover.

Commercial-model-1

Your project. Your commercial model

We don't impose a way of working. Whether you need time and materials flexibility, a co-managed delivery structure, or a fully outcome-based engagement - we'll find the model that fits your objectives and your budget.

Project-visibility

Full visibility from kick-off to handover

You’ll have the option to use St8tus, our proprietary project governance platform, which gives you real-time oversight of every workstream, milestone, and team member. No surprises. No black boxes. Just clarity.

FAQS

Got questions? We've got you covered

We're a separate legal entity. Stott and May Search places people. We deliver outcomes. The difference in practice: we scope your project, take accountability for delivery, transfer the knowledge, and hand over complete ownership when we're done. Our connection to a highly rated tech recruitment business means we can resource projects faster than most - but we add considerably more value than just providing people. 

Usually for one of three reasons. They've been burned by a large consultancy that overpromised and underdelivered. They've tried staff augmentation and ended up carrying all the risk themselves. Or they have a high-priority project with a tight timeline and need a team that can mobilise fast, without cutting corners on quality. We tend to be the answer when the stakes are too high for either extreme. 

None. We'll always recommend the best-fit solution for your project - not the platform we have a commercial relationship with. If you're mid-selection, we'll help you evaluate objectively. If you've already chosen, we'll implement it properly. 

Faster than you'd expect. Most teams are onboarded and delivering within days - not the weeks or months you might have experienced elsewhere. We own our supply chain, which means no delays waiting on third-party resourcing once a project is scoped and agreed.  

Whichever suits your project. We work across Time & Materials, Co-Managed, and Outcome-Based models - and we'll help you choose the right one based on your objectives, your budget, and how much risk you want to carry. Around 90% of our engagements run on a co-managed basis, but that's a reflection of what works, not a default we push. 

That's something we plan for from day one. Knowledge transfer isn't a box we tick on the way out - it's built into how we deliver. Your team will own the solution, understand how it works, and be in a position to run it independently. We don't design engagements that require us to stick around.
