The difference between a good hire and the right hire is rarely obvious. We exist to find the degrees of difference that really count.
The right hire is rarely obvious from a job description alone. At Point Six One Eight, we believe the difference between a good appointment and the right appointment is often found in the smallest details - chemistry, judgement, ambition, culture and context.
Inspired by the golden ratio (0.618), our approach is built on proportion, balance and calibration. Because when the relationship between people and organisations is right, the results are powerful.
Every role we represent has been carefully calibrated - we only work on searches where we can genuinely add value.

Looking beyond competence to assess compatibility. The connection between people and organisations matters as much as the CV.
