Who you'll work with

Our business is based around being a leading provider of scientific staff to our clients, mainly this is achieved via our networking and we spend a great deal of time in contact with clients and candidates. This is over the phone and also in person allowing for fast responses to roles, with high quality of process. Our strategy is to simply know the very best candidates in our core professional areas at any one moment, to enable this service. 

We are based in a fantastic facility in south Manchester with room for future growth which we are currently advertising to progress in the hiring of a recruitment resourcer in late 2017 / early 2018. If you are considering applying to join us, we are driven by being very life-outside-of-work friendly. We find this appeals to driven individuals who perhaps don't desire the typical recruitment agency life of early starts and late finishes followed by team drinks - but still want to be successful and considered a leader in their recruitment field. 

We work with clients from the small scale through to some of with worlds largest companies and all in between handling several offers and placements each week with plans to grow further in 2018.
