The new Stoa website goes live
Live job feed, candidate registration and the My Stoa portal on the way — the porch, now open online.

The site you’re reading launched today. It carries our live job feed, straight from the same system our consultants work in — no ghost adverts left up to harvest CVs — plus candidate registration and dedicated hubs for candidates and clients.
What’s here now
Every job on the board is real, current and owned by a named consultant. The candidate hub explains how registration works and what happens after you apply. The client hub puts our terms in plain sight: the 4-hour protection window, typical fill times per desk, and rates quoted before we start.
Photograph to come
There’s also a newsroom — this page — for milestones and practical guides, and a straightforward contact page where the phone number is answered by a person. No chatbot, no ticket queue.
What’s coming
My Stoa — the candidate portal — is in build. One place to track every application, save jobs and set alerts that actually match your licence and shift pattern. It will switch on for everyone who has registered through this site.
If something on the site is unclear, wrong or missing, tell us. It was built to be checked against, like everything else here.
