I have used recruiters in the past to assist with different roles, but the calibre of people was not at the level we needed. With Portfolio, where they have a specialist team only dealing with payroll specialists, it was the best option for us

Other recruitment companies were not listening to our requirements. We were being passed CV's that did not match the brief. However, the consultant we worked with at Portfolio Group listened, and then used their expertise to give us candidates that aligned with the skills and personality we were looking for.

I was impressed by how quickly and efficiently the process worked. We had a call on Wednesday, I had 6-7 CV’s to select by Friday, and I was interviewing and had made the decision by the following Wednesday. That speed was so essential for this role, given how critical it was.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a specialist HR & Reward recruitment agency?
A specialist agency offers access to passive candidates, deeper market knowledge, and a genuine understanding of the technical skills these roles require.
Reward is a niche specialism. Rather than explaining what job evaluation frameworks are or why benefits platform experience matters, you can have meaningful conversations with consultants who already understand these distinctions and can assess candidates accurately from the first conversation.
This focused expertise translates to faster, more accurate hiring, we typically present qualified candidates within 24 hours for interim roles and 3 days for permanent positions.
What types of HR and Reward roles do you recruit for?
We recruit across the full spectrum of HR, Compensation, Benefits, and Reward – from entry-level HR Administrators through to HR Directors and Heads of Reward.
On the generalist side, this includes HR Advisors, HR Business Partners, HR Managers, and HR Directors. Within the reward specialism, we place Reward Analysts, Compensation & Benefits Managers, Total Reward Managers, and Global Mobility professionals. We also recruit for HR Systems and HRIS roles where they sit within HR teams.
Whether you’re hiring for a permanent position, need interim cover, or require a contractor for a specific project, we can help. View our current vacancies or register a new role.
Do you support temporary and interim placements?
Yes, we do. Whether you’re looking to hire an HR professional on a full-time basis or need cover for maternity leave, assistance during a busy period, or an interim specialist while you search for a permanent hire, our flexible HR recruitment services are tailored to meet your specific needs.
How quickly can you fill an HR or Reward vacancy?
Speed matters when you’re under pressure to fill a critical role. We typically present qualified candidates within 24 hours for interim and contract positions, and within 3 days for permanent hires. For highly specialist reward roles, such as those requiring international compensation expertise, timescales may vary depending on the talent pool, but we’ll always give you a realistic picture upfront.
What skills are most in demand for HR and Reward roles right now?
Employers are looking for HR professionals who combine technical expertise with commercial awareness. In reward, experience with pay benchmarking, benefits administration, and job evaluation is consistently sought after.
Across HR more broadly, demand remains strong for candidates with solid employee relations experience, confidence using HR systems, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders. Our Benefits & Reward Report includes detailed insight into the skills employers are prioritising this year.
What is total reward?
Total reward refers to the complete package of financial and non-financial benefits an employer provides, beyond base salary alone. It typically encompasses compensation, pension contributions, health and wellbeing benefits, flexible working arrangements, career development opportunities, and recognition programmes.
According to our 2025/26 Benefits & Reward Report, the most commonly offered benefits in the UK are death in service and enhanced pension schemes (both at 78%), followed by Employee Assistance Programmes (76%) and cycle to work schemes (74%). Working arrangements are now the second most important factor candidates consider after salary, with 51% of employees currently working in a hybrid model.
As salary budgets come under increasing pressure, particularly with rising employer National Insurance costs, total reward strategies are becoming a critical tool for attracting and retaining talent without relying solely on pay increases.
