Our North of England team have over 25 years’ experience and a uniquely well-rounded understanding of clients and candidates having worked in private households in the region before specialising in private recruitment. Laura and her team will meet with you in person to discuss your requirements and get a better understanding of the candidates you are seeking.
Because we are based locally, candidates from the local area can register with us more easily than with a London-based agency, and we can search for either local or national roles for them. This makes us a much more attractive prospect for candidates and we also know where to find the best local talent when it comes to Childcare and Education, Private Households and Estates, Catering and Hospitality and Corporate Staffing thanks to our regional knowledge and experience.
We will seek the best local candidates on a bespoke basis for each of the roles we are advertising for you. Depending on factors such as whether the role comes with accommodation, we can widen our search to access registered candidates via our Edinburgh, London or even international offices. We will always be looking for candidates that precisely match your needs and we meet all candidates as a matter of course, so you will only ever receive CVs that are the very best match for you.
The areas covered by the North of England office are: Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Wales, Shropshire
