When a senior seat can't stay empty, we put the right person in it. Interim leaders in weeks, Pilot to Perm™ when you want proof first, and permanent when the evidence says stay.

A 10 week pilot with check ins at every milestone. They prove it, you decide. The fee is spread across the pilot, with the move to permanent included.
In seat in weeks, not quarters. £250-£1250 per day. Paid PAYE through us so IR35 is handled before it becomes your problem.
Hire in UK without an entity. We employ, pay, manage compliantly – outside IR35, no Ltd, no umbrella.
Structured. Commercial. Built around reducing risk.
Every business is different. So we start by understanding yours – goals, gap, what success looks like, and where hiring risk lives from Jan 2027.
We then recommend the right route, not the one we sell most: Senior Interim & Fractional Leaders for impact, Pilot to Perm™ 10-week mission [85% convert] to prove before permanent, or PAYE & EOR to hire UK without an entity – outside IR35.
When you want to build internal strength, we also work as hiring & workforce consultancy – interview training, assessment centres, AI & future of hiring, and practical redundancy & career transition support for leavers. So you learn to hire well and support people well when they leave.
Once someone starts, we don’t hand over. Week 2/4/8/10 check-ins on Pilot, ongoing support on temp and interim, early intervention. Measured by value created, not offer accepted.
The right person creates momentum. The wrong one costs time, money and confidence.
That’s why we don’t measure success by offer accepted. We measure it by the value created once they’re there.
From first conversation through onboarding and beyond, we define what success looks like, recommend the right route – Senior interim, Pilot to Perm™ 10-week mission, PAYE & EOR, fractional or hiring consultancy – and stay close with practical support and early intervention. Not just to fill a role, but to move your business forward faster.
£250–£1,250 a day · IR35 compliant · 20+ years
Because a senior hire shouldn’t feel like a gamble.
Yellow Bricks is a UK senior hiring firm, founded in 2013 by Abby Robbins and based in Reading, Berkshire. With more than 20 years in UK recruitment, we place people into the roles that matter most, from one critical appointment to a whole leadership team. Built on one belief: good hiring isn’t about filling vacancies. It’s about understanding what your business is trying to achieve, finding the people who genuinely move the needle, and choosing the right way to bring them in.
We place interim and fractional leaders at £250–£1,250 a day, run Pilot to Perm™, a 10-week route to proving a senior hire before making it permanent, and make senior permanent hires from £65k. Every interim is paid PAYE through our own payroll, so you’re IR35 compliant as standard. That matters more than ever with the employment law changes arriving in January 2027. We work UK-wide with PE-backed and growing businesses.
We’re measured by the success of the people we place, not the number of placements we make. Because the right answer isn’t always another permanent employee.
