What sets us apart
Culture
Our culture is centred on practising honesty and integrity at every level. We celebrate both team achievement as much as individual success, because we believe that together we can create a better future for everyone.
Development
Our people are integral to our success, so we are committed to investing in their development. Members of our team have access to comprehensive training and develop industry-leading knowledge of the sector they work within in.
Benefits
Our teams achieve incredible things, so it’s only right to reward them. In addition to flexibility and traditional bonus schemes, we offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences, glamorous awards ceremonies and benefits for long-term service.
Responsibility
We choose to give back through local and national fundraising efforts – this year our national charities are Macmillan, Ecology and Childline. Our employees have access to an Employee Assistance Programme, qualified mental health first aiders, and more.
Our performance
Search Recruitment Group consistently delivers a strong through-the-cycle performance and remains highly cash generative. Going forward, the Group plans to continue developing expertise in its specialisms, increasing productivity through investments in talent and technology, and cross-selling between Group members.
Strong through-the-cycle performance.
