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.

Recruitment That Works for You

Since 2007, businesses and job seekers across West Yorkshire have trusted Bagnall Hopkins to make recruitment personal. With 30 years in recruitment, I offer a consistent, professional service built on relationships — not just results.

If you're growing your team, you'll get people who make a real difference. If you're looking for a new job, you'll be matched with opportunities where you'll thrive — not just survive.

What You Can Expect

A Recruitment Partner Who Gets It

You'll feel listened to. Understood. Valued. Whether you're recruiting or job hunting, the process is tailored to what you need — your pace, your culture, your goals.

Because recruitment should feel like a conversation, not a transaction

Why People Keep Coming Back

- 80% of my clients return to recruit again
- 87% of candidates would recommend me to a friend

That doesn't happen by chance — it happens because people trust what I deliver

Specialist Areas

I specialise in recruiting for office support, accountancy, HR, and sales & marketing roles at all levels — from entry-level to senior leadership — plus supporting SMEs who want to build their own in-house recruitment skills. Based in Wakefield, I work across the WF postcode area and beyond, including Huddersfield, Halifax, Barnsley, Dewsbury, and Pontefract.

"I would like to thank Louise for helping me when I was in a bad situation she said she’d help me get out and she did and I’m so grateful, I would definitely recommend Bagnall Hopkins as a true professional agency"

Julie P

Great recruitment agency that crucially listens to you. No hard sell to look at any role but finds out what kind of role, culture and future you are looking for and presents these roles. Absolute pleasure to deal with and a special kudos for getting me in front of a client that another agency had told me would not consider me. Would not hesitate to use Bagnall Hopkins again either as a client or candidate.

Susan M - Candidate

I would highly recommend Bagnall Hopkins, they are very professional and yet friendly all at the same time. They kept me up to date at every stage of the recruitment process and arranged an interview that landed me with the perfect job.

Lynne T

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

Thanks for everything!

Robyn S

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.
