We specialise in finding the right candidates for every job, at any level, from apprentice to director.

Other agencies may promise, but at The Recruitment Consultancy we really deliver…

A broad choice of talent

We offer unparalleled access to the best talent in West Sussex – with our professional reputation we attract the strongest candidates in the market who are seeking their next permanent position.

The right candidates

Our extensive database of pre-qualified office candidates have all been met by us  – we thoroughly interview all of them so we understand their motivation and aspirations before we talk to you.

Service built around you

Every company has specific needs and it is around these that we will build our permanent recruitment solutions around – you know your business better than us, so we will always listen.  One size does not fit all.

Safe brand representation

We maintain exceptional levels of service throughout the process so your employer brand is professionally represented – safeguarding your company reputation is crucial.

Knowledgeable consultants

Our experienced consultants will focus on the right recruitment solution for your business – we don’t pressurise them with unnecessary sales targets. They do a great job, why hinder them?

Consistent results

Our agency consultants will always be collaborative, honest and personal, and will consistently deliver results – our service has been tried and tested over 23 years and our strong market recognition reflects this.

How do we work?

Our job is to ensure you can focus on the end result of having a great team and not on the process of getting there.

From identifying your exact recruitment requirements and time-frames, we will work tirelessly to find you the right permanent hire.  We also have a great team of temporaries, who are fully vetted and ready to help when your business needs that extra support. As a tenacious team of recruitment consultants with years of experience, we are here not only to deliver results, but to save you time, resources, stress and ultimately cost.

We want you to enjoy working with our recruitment agency so much that you won’t want to go anywhere else

We’re straight-forward

We are an honest, genuine team of experienced consultants in Worthing and over the years we have created a strong foot-hold in the Worthing and West Sussex market. Our reputation amongst employers as being the ‘go-to’ recruitment agency, is based on our collaborative and professionally-managed recruitment services that find the right candidates on time and within budget. We work tirelessly to find the best permanent talent for our clients.

We’re a people business

We’re not just a recruitment agency, we’re a people business and we appreciate that recruitment is a two-way street when finding the ideal match for both clients and candidates. So, we make sure we do it properly. We’re definitely not fans of the bombardment approach where agencies throw CVs at a role and hope one sticks. That’s just not us. We use our well-honed skills and years of experience to present our clients with candidates who we are confident will be the right fit for their business.

We don’t take short cuts

We know that each company is as unique as the people we place, so we will always go that extra mile to find the right solution for both parties…after all, recruitment is about people.  We are firm believers that nothing beats the personal touch, so, unlike many agencies, we meet, interview and assess all our permanent candidates as we know it’s the only way to truly understand their motivations and aspirations. It takes time, but it works and is part of our promise to our clients.

We do what we say

Our clients and candidates know that we will deliver the goods. Clients work with us because we find the best talent from across all of West Sussex to fill their positions. Candidates come to us because we provide employment opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise know about. Both know our agency will give helpful and constructive guidance at every stage of the process.

We like to get it right first time

We will always strive to get it right first time and that is why our clients stay with us.   We are in this for the long-haul and our tenacious desire to find the right talent for the right positions reflects this.  Work with us and see how we will not only find you the right candidates for your positions, but we also save you time, hassle, resource and ultimately cost.

We believe we do a great job, but don’t just take our word for it…

The ladies at the Recruitment Consultancy are very lovely and always on the ball. I usually get responses within the hour, but, if not within the hour, always within the same day.

Couldn’t recommend them more! Helpful, friendly and most importantly successful at what they do! Thanks ladies!

This recruitment agency really do care about the people and succeeding in getting them the right job. So many agencies concentrate on getting the candidate in to any job, but not here. The staff are all so friendly with a wealth of knowledge and understanding. They really do make the stress of job searching less of a strain.

Cheryl made sure she met me, so we could discuss what sort of job role I was after.

I would not hesitate to recommend Cheryl and the team at The Recruitment Consultancy.
Gemma Licence, Worthing
