  • Signed contracts & onboarding docs collected
  • Fewer drop-outs inside the rebate window
Why Batiq

A senior adviser on your side, based in the UK.

Not a helpdesk, and not a compliance product you have to work out for yourself.

Advice, sized for your desk

Practical advice for a solo recruiter or a boutique firm. You get judgement on the deal in front of you, not a framework to work out for yourself or a full-time hire.

In the negotiation with you

One senior adviser who knows your desk, reads the terms before you counter-sign, and will take the client conversation on directly when you want them to.

UK based

Your files, calls and contracts are handled here in the UK by our own people, so you always know who is doing the work and where your candidate data sits.

Audit-ready by default

Every process leaves a clean evidence trail, so a client due-diligence request or an ICO enquiry is a five-minute job, not a fire drill.

How we work

A clear path from exposed to defensible.

A pragmatic engagement designed to get you compliant fast and keep you there.

01

Talk it through

A consultation with your adviser, not a questionnaire. We look at your live placements, paperwork and data flows, and tell you plainly where the risk and the wasted time sit.

02

Advise

You get our recommendation for your desk, sized to it: what to fix first, what can wait, and what we would sign or refuse. Policies, templates and processes, not a 200-page binder.

03

Put it in place

We set it up inside the tools you already use and stand up the evidence trail, so every placement is defensible from day one.

04

Stay close

Your adviser stays on the end of the phone: a clause to check before you counter-sign, a client pushing back on rebate terms, an audit landing. Same person every time.

“Placing high-value people means high-value scrutiny. Batiq gives independent recruiters the compliance backbone that used to be the preserve of the big agencies.”
