Work for us.
Build a recruitment career in a market worth knowing.
Learn one market properly.
We recruit in specialist engineering markets where good people are hard to find and valuable to our clients. You won't spend your career jumping between random vacancies. You'll learn a market, build a network and become someone clients and candidates want to speak to.
We're based in Retford, Nottinghamshire, and hire people starting their recruitment career as well as recruiters who already know the job.
What matters here.
Be straight with people
Candidates and clients deserve to know where they stand. That means proper feedback, difficult conversations when they're needed and never promising something just to keep someone happy.
Do what you said you'd do
Calls get logged. Candidates get updated. Clients get called back. If you say you'll do something, get it done.
Keep going
Good recruitment isn't posting an advert and waiting. Some searches take dozens of conversations before you find the right person. We expect persistence without being pushy.
Work as a team
Candidates, information and leads get shared. If someone else can help fill a role or move something forward, we work together.
Two ways in.
