Our mission is to change the way people feel about recruitment. Through solving problems we build relationships, demonstrate excellence and find opportunities. Our first thought isn’t ‘Who can we place?’ it is ‘What is the problem and how can we help you solve it?’
One + Many is our guiding principle. It’s a simple way of defining how we work and deliver better – as a business and as individuals. We recruit, gain insights and share knowledge as a community. It’s how we demonstrate value to our clients. It’s how we attract great candidates. It’s how all of us come together to have an impact that’s greater than the sum of our parts.
One good person on their own can achieve great things, solve problems, pass on knowledge and make a huge impact.
One good person supported, inspired and helped by a community of equally excellent people will achieve more. Good people, made better.
You are a client with a challenge or a candidate looking for one. Your challenges, ambitions and success measures (rational and emotional) are unique to you. You want to make an impact and leave a valuable legacy. We will find the person or the challenge for you.
One exceptional person supported by many. Be part of a group of people who help each other when asked. Solve problems, share and receive knowledge and insights, inspire and teach. Good people making each other better.
We behave like a community. Whether interim, client or recruiter, we help each other solve problems. We gain insights and share knowledge. But as with any community, it requires a commitment. We are here to help each other deliver better, faster and more assuredly. Being part of the community means you’ve made that commitment.
But it’s not for everyone. We still work with clients and candidates around their recruitment needs who are not part of the community.

Good people are driven by purposeful and fulfilling engagements. We create opportunities for people to make a positive impact; on an individual, on an organisation, on society — beyond the 9—5. We respect personal values and align beliefs.
Our people look beyond the ‘now’. Our collective wisdom empowers individuals and drives longterm relationships. Together we can identify future opportunities and turn hindsight into foresight.
Our people have the humility to listen and the courage to speak. They acknowledge that input from others helps them to perform better. Courage is doing the right thing even when it is the more difficult, less popular route.
Every day, in every area, we motivate and reward our people for living these values.
We believe in creating opportunities for people to make a positive impact on society. Every year we come together as a company to choose a charity to raise money for. We create a programme of events and get our clients and candidates involved too. On top of that, we are all given two volunteering days (fully paid) each year to support the community initiatives we’re involved in outside of work.
