VS Recruitment · UK headhunter
Viktorija Sherriff runs a boutique search practice. She headhunts through her own network — construction, facilities, property, PPC and newer AI roles — and starts a search for a £450 engagement fee. Roles are not advertised on job boards, so you can hire discreetly. Not a volume agency.
Sectors
Primary work is built sector recruitment, digital marketing recruitment and AI hiring in the UK. Each search is a conversation, then a network, then a shortlist.
Construction · FM · property
Site and project management, facilities, construction and property roles. Credentials she actually vets — CSCS, SMSTS — not a keyword match.
Built sectorPPC · Google Ads · Meta · GA4
Performance marketers who can open an account and see what is true. PPC recruitment without a stack of lookalike CVs.
Digital marketingAI · digital transformation
Roles that sit between product, data and operations. People who can ship a change, not people who added a tool to a LinkedIn headline.
AI rolesThe engagement
A search opens when you pay a £450 engagement fee. That is the start of the work: a proper brief, then Viktorija working her network. It is not a listing fee. It is not a deposit against a pile of unsolicited CVs.
She only recruits through people she already knows, or can reach through that network. Because nothing is posted on a job board, the hire stays discreet: your name is not advertised, and candidates are approached quietly.
What clients say
Illustrative comments in the voice of typical UK clients. These are not verified third-party reviews and are not presented as Google ratings.
Viktorija understood the FM brief before we had finished explaining it. The shortlist was people we would actually put in front of the board — not a folder of CVs.
We needed a Head of Performance who could read a Google Ads account, not just talk about one. The search was quiet, fast enough, and the hire has stayed.
Facilities directors who can run a contract, not only a helpdesk, are scarce. She found one through her network. We never saw the role advertised.
Site and project managers who hold SMSTS and still want to be on the tools of a live programme are hard to move. Viktorija knew who to call.
The AI brief was messy. She refused to spray it. We paid the engagement fee, tightened the role, and met three people who could actually ship.
