Join Us

Would you like a seat at the table?

Where there is open and honest communication. When people aren’t pressured into making a decision. When recruitment is done right. High retention rates are achieved.

Having spent many years working at a FTSE listed recruitment firm, where KPIs were drummed into us and time on the phone was the measure of your performance, I knew recruitment could be better. It wasn’t until joining another firm that I saw how recruitment could be done, and I wanted there to be one more company in the industry that operates this way.

As a team, we collectively aim to exercise a positive influence on the industry we represent and, as a business, show the same commitment to your ongoing development, training and progression. This is what drives us as a business, and this is why we feel we’re different.
