Candr

Candr is a London-based recruitment agency that specialises exclusively in bid and proposal recruitment. It focuses solely on work winning roles, such as bid coordinators, bid managers, bid writers and heads of bids, and also takes CVs from bid professionals looking for their next role.

It says its track record includes placements across architecture, construction, FM, professional services, bid consultancies, technology and healthcare. Rather than relying on job adverts or LinkedIn alone, it headhunts by mapping the market, contacting candidates directly and using referrals. It offers pay on success and retained search, for a single role or ongoing support.

The agency was founded by Stuart Watson, who says he has spent four years focused solely on work winning recruitment.
