Agency launches headhunting business
Exclusive recruitment service unveiled

A Shropshire recruitment agency has launched a leadership and executive headhunting business named Custodia Vitae.
The exclusive recruitment service will provide search and selection from middle management to C-level positions across a range of sectors, including roles in HR, technology, engineering, sales, IT, marketing, digital, communications, and general management.
Custodia Vitae is part of the DMOS People recruitment group founded by Stuart Danks, and he has brought in Neil Cowan as director to drive the new business forward.
Neil joins the business with 17 years of experience in the sector. He has delivered solution-based recruitment for mid-senior and C-level hires across the UK/EU and MENA regions.
Stuart said: “Part of the DMOS People excellence is providing exceptional service to our clients, so moving into the executive recruitment market feels like a natural progression. Custodia Vitae will draw on years of recruitment experience, the trust of our DMOS People brand, and our dedication to exceeding client and candidate expectations.”
Neil said: “I’m delighted to be driving forward Custodia Vitae’s growth. Key to my work is understanding the human element, what motivates people, what is important to people and what they enjoy.
“I operate in a diverse range of industries, from start-ups to global corporations, and provide them with tailored and consultative recruitment, search, and talent advisory."
DMOS People has expanded from initially providing temporary recruitment, to skilled labour in the temp to perm market and permanent professional roles.
