The compliance adviser independent recruiters were missing.
Batiq&Co gives recruiters, boutique search firms and one-person operations a senior adviser to call on for the compliance, back-office and contract questions that arrive with every placement. UK based.
High-value placements deserve high-value governance.
Batiq&Co advises recruiters and search firms across the UK and European markets, supporting placements and back-office operations on both sides of the Channel. Wherever your clients are, the work is delivered from the UK.
Independent recruiters win on relationships, speed and judgement. But the moment you place senior or specialist people, you inherit the same regulatory obligations as a firm a hundred times your size, GDPR, right-to-work, conduct standards and watertight contracts.
Most solo recruiters and boutique firms carry that weight alone, or not at all. Batiq was built to close that gap: to be the adviser you call before you counter-sign, and the compliance desk, back-office and contracts team sitting quietly behind your placements.
In practice that means one named point of contact who knows your desk. Someone who will read a set of client terms with you, tell you which clauses to push back on, and take that conversation up with the client directly when you would rather they did. You are never negotiating on your own.
We are UK based, and the work stays here. Your files, calls and contracts are handled by our own people rather than passed to an outside team, which matters both for the quality of the advice and for where your data lives.

Four principles behind every engagement.
Considered advice on the call in front of you, not a policy to interpret yourself. Nothing left to chance, nothing done twice.
We operate quietly in the background. Your candidates, clients and data are handled with care, and stay in the UK.
Compliance that fits how you actually work, not a binder that sits on a shelf.
One named adviser who owns the outcome. When you ask, you get an answer, not a ticket.
Let's build your compliance backbone.
