30 years in recruitment. Straight-talking, honest advice, and people who actually fit

Recruitment Built Around You

Finding the right people — or the right job — shouldn't feel like a numbers game. You deserve a recruitment partner who gets what really matters: fit, culture, and real-world results.

You're in the right place

We know relationships equal results

We love getting to know you, your company and the teams that are recruiting so we can take account of all of the many and complex factors that make up the perfect new recruit or that amazing new job. We appreciate the perfect person or position is so much more than just a job title.

Whether you want that wonderful new job or the perfect candidate, on a temporary or permanent basis, we’ve got it covered.

We think we're great... but don't just take our word for it

Thank you so much for the support, guidance and opportunities that you have given me over the last few months. Previously, when I have registered with an agency, I have felt like a number and not felt that they were actually looking at what I had done or listening to what I wanted to do. This was the total opposite of my experience with Bagnall Hopkins.  At all times, I have felt that you genuinely cared and wanted the best for me. For that, I am very grateful.

After a sudden redundancy from my previous job I contacted Louise to help me with my job search. I found a job very quickly, and Louise was very supportive throughout the process.

Absolutely fantastic experience. I’ve never felt so comfortable working with an agency before. Perfection from start to finish.

Thanks for everything!

Bagnall Hopkins were recommended to me by a colleague in our finance department and, to be honest, I’ve never looked back.  We used to use various methods of sourcing personnel but I no longer use any other agency nor do I bother to try to advertise vacancies, I rely Bagnall Hopkins.  The jobs market has changed massively in recent years and it is now far easier and more successful to employ the experts.  I have used Bagnall Hopkins for my last three vacancies and as an example, I have just filled a Sales Administration role thanks to them and they provided me with five candidates, all of whom were more than capable of fulfilling the role, two were simply excellent.  Would I recommend Bagnall Hopkins to others?  I already have and will continue to do so.  Highly recommended.
