We put people first

We established The Recruitment Consultancy in 1997, after becoming disillusioned by a saturated recruitment market, a market where mediocre customer service had become the industry standard and client satisfaction had taken a back seat.

We wanted to be different, so we challenged what appeared to be the general perception of the recruitment industry and we built our business around putting people first

It’s not about targets

One of the key changes we made, was to release our consultants from the confines of sales targets so that they could focus their experience and expertise into delivering a first-class recruitment service, without the pressure of having to ‘hit numbers’.

It has, and is continuing to work very well as our consultants have the time and freedom to really create tailored recruitment solutions that are specific to each client….one size does not fit all.

It’s about getting it right

Additionally, we like to offer both clients and candidates a relaxed and friendly experience; this sets us apart from our peers. We’re an honest and genuine bunch and above all, we really enjoy what we do.

We are known for building long-lasting relationships and we pride ourselves on our track record for delivering exceptional service and, more importantly, results.

We want you to stay with us

Recruitment can be challenging at times, but we will work hard to make the whole process as painless as possible. So, if you are a business based in  Surrey,  Sussex or the surrounding areas, please feel free to chat with one of our consultants who will offer support, advice and solutions to best fit your recruitment needs.

With our experience and knowledge, we aim to leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding the right solution for every client and candidate.

Essentially, our team at The Recruitment Consultancy will help put the smile back on your face through our honest and down-to-earth approach.

We proudly support Oakleaf Enterprise, a local mental health charity supporting people aged 16+ in Surrey since 1997. Addressing issues like social isolation, unemployment, wellbeing, and discrimination, Oakleaf actively supports hundreds of people managing mental ill-health at any one time.

They provide a wide range of wellbeing activities and support groups, work-related training and employment guidance as well as a counselling service of up to 18 sessions.

Many Oakleaf clients experience social isolation due to their illnesses, often leaving their homes solely for Oakleaf activities. To combat isolation, Oakleaf offers diverse wellbeing activities, including yoga, football, Tai Chi, and confidence-building pursuits like art therapy, guitar lessons, and literacy/numeracy classes.

Oakleaf serves as the base for the Guildford Safe Haven, a 365-night alternative to A&E for those in or approaching a mental health crisis.
