Why Signify?

Signify has grown consistently in revenue year-on-year since opening and now operates as a predominantly contract-focused consultancy business, with the majority of our work centred around long-term contract and project delivery.

Our consultants are not restricted to selling a single hiring model. Instead, they are supported to operate as hiring partners across both contract and permanent hiring, as well as embedded and project-based solutions. This enables broader client partnerships and access to more stable revenue streams than reliance on individual placements alone.

We operate a no-threshold commission structure designed to reward consistent performance across a quarterly period, with consultants able to earn up to 40% commission and no cap on earnings.
