We always talk about how we continuously improve the magic touches we offer clients and candidates – and that commitment extends to the way we nurture staff.
-

We don’t believe in unrealistic annual targets. You don’t just get a review and sent on your way. Kaizen is one of our core values, and it means you get ongoing training and support that help you progress.

We’re talking Harrington Starr University, sports psychologists and lunch-and-learns, not out-of-date DVDs or washed-up trainers. We look beyond the narrow scope of recruitment skills with a holistic approach that helps you succeed.
-
• Innovation
CIO Bulletin Magazine named us among the 30 Most Innovative Companies 2017. Yes, we focus on brilliant basics, but we’re also committed to putting you at the cutting edge
