Candr

Candr is a specialist recruitment agency focused exclusively on bid and proposal roles that drive business success. Unlike generalist recruiters, Candr speaks the language of bidding, understands the pressures of work-winning teams, and knows exactly what top talent looks like in this space. The agency specialises in placing bid coordinators, bid managers, bid writers, and heads of bids at all levels, working with both candidates and hiring companies to ensure exceptional matches that save time and deliver results.

Candr's expertise spans multiple industries including architecture, construction, facilities management, professional services, bid consultancies, technology, and healthcare. The agency's track record demonstrates successful placements across these sectors, with a deep understanding of how bid roles differ significantly between industries and organisations. Rather than relying on job boards or generic CV matching, Candr employs a headhunting approach, mapping the market, making direct contact with passive candidates, and leveraging referrals to find proven work winners who understand bidding strategy and delivery at all levels.

Based in London, Candr operates across the globe with a network of top bid and proposal talent. The agency differentiates itself through transparency, specialist knowledge, and a commitment to quality over quantity. Clients choose Candr because the team delivers exactly what they promise, communicates clearly throughout the recruitment process, and provides carefully vetted candidates who are genuinely matched to requirements rather than overwhelming hiring teams with irrelevant CVs. With a five-star rating from both clients and candidates, Candr has become the go-to recruitment partner for organisations seeking faster, better hires in the competitive bid and proposal space.
