Built from inside the chaos
I've worked every side of care recruitment - as a recruiter placing the talent, a support worker delivering the care, a care manager fighting the rota, and now as a founder rebuilding the systems that keep breaking. FMC is everything I wish I'd had on the other side of the desk.
Who's behind FMC?
I'm Matt Fitton, founder of FittonMillett Consultants.
I help SME care providers cut agency dependency, reduce time-to-hire, and stop their managers drowning in admin.
Recruiter. Support worker. Care manager. Founder.
I've worked every side of this sector - which means I've seen exactly where the broken systems are, and how to fix them properly.
FMC launched in October 2023 and now works with care providers across the UK, from start-ups building their first recruitment process to established services with 50+ staff trying to break the agency cycle.
Why FMC?
Most care providers don't have a recruitment problem.
They have a systems problem dressed up as a recruitment problem.
You're not short of candidates because the sector is broken. You're short of candidates because your application process takes 45 minutes, your interview confirmations don't arrive, and your last hire ghosted you between offer and start date because nobody followed up.
FMC fixes the system.
Not with enterprise software you'll never use.
Not with another agency contract.
With the right tools, the right process, and the right framework - C.E.R.T - applied properly to a business that actually fits its scale.
The result: 8+ hours back per week, agency spend cut, time-to-hire halved, and managers who can finally focus on running the service instead of chasing applications.
What FMC stands for.
Honesty over polish.
I'd rather tell you what's actually broken than sell you something that sounds good. If your problem isn't recruitment, I'll tell you. If you don't need our most expensive service, I'll tell you that too.
Systems that fit.
Care SMEs don't need enterprise tech. They need tools that actually get used. Every system FMC builds is sized for the business that's using it - not the business someone wants to sell to.
Humanity.
Automation is what removes admin so the human conversations can happen better. The candidate care call. The honest 30-day check-in. The exit interview that actually listens. Tech serves the human element. Never replaces it.
Working with FMC.
Not sure where to start? The Recruitment Health Check & Blueprint is £97 - a self-audit you can complete in under an hour that tells you exactly which of the four paths below makes sense for you.
What it's like to work with FMC
A discovery call first. Always. No exceptions.
Then you choose how deep we go.
1. Self-diagnose with the Health Check & Blueprint. Or,
2. Get us to diagnose with the Recruitment Diagnostic and Action Plan. Or,
3. Build the system with ATS + Automations - removing your admin. Or,
4. Build the capability with the 90-Day Recruitment Reset with your team.
Whichever path, the work runs on the C.E.R.T Framework - Create, Expand, Retain, Train - the four-stage structure FMC has used since 2023 to fix recruitment for SME care providers.
Your job is to grow the business. Ours is to make sure you can hire the people who get you there.
