Our Approach
Established in 1963, we have gained in-depth experience and established ourselves as a market leader in the provision of quality staff. Much recruitment these days seems to be little more than a quick database trawl for CVs, followed by mail shots.

Our techniques are industry leading in that we don’t just randomly send out CVs. We take great care spending time at the outset in order to fully understand our clients’ requirement; hence we are able to put together bespoke specifications that will meet your needs from new recruits in both the short and long term. This is done through understanding the objectives of your business and how your succession plans, training, culture and existing team will shape the type of candidate required.

This in depth approach to our clients is mirrored in the way we screen candidates. Sourced through advertising across all the major UK employment websites, every person we recommend for a permanent role will have been thoroughly interviewed face to face. This allows us to assess the track record, knowledge, skills and most importantly what motivates the candidate and what they are looking for now and the long term. As a result we can ensure that meeting our candidates will not be a waste of time and that they will be interested in not just the role on offer, but the scope of the overall career opportunity with client organisations. Contractors are screened with equal attention to detail but this is typically done over the phone.

Our Staff and Values
Our team of consultants are all highly trained to understand the recruitment process in depth and, if required, are positioned to act as consultants to add value to your recruitment procedures. Working for both the interests of our candidates and clients alike, you can be assured of a service which is honest, forthright, efficient and based on a culture of quality and integrity. We will never guarantee that we will find you the person you ultimately recruit, but we will guarantee that we will maximise your chances of doing so and giving you the peace of mind that you have left no stone unturned in your quest to source the very best people for your organisation.
