Permanent hires

When you’re hiring for the long term, you need someone who fits your organisation and team, as well as the role. We take the time to properly understand what success looks like for you, so every candidate you meet has already been matched against your job requirements, your values and your culture.

Fixed-term contracts

Need cover for maternity leave, a busy project, or a gap in the team? You’ll get candidates who can step in quickly and hit the ground running, without compromising on quality or fit.

Your staff are a dream to work with, very personable and professional, you are all a pleasure to deal with. A big thank you for being there and help make my life so much easier.

Corporate solutions provider

I think it’s fair to say that 1st is a good partner. Any request I have made has been accommodated, particularly the screening piece and the PES Team’s careful management of this has been fantastic. You already know how pleased I am with our contact, she has a lovely, personable manner and the way she turned round my two recent temps (In less than 3 hours) was amazing. We have many snatched conversations, but she is not phased at all and takes it in her stride, she’s an excellent recruitment consultant, I deal with a lot and she is definitely the best.
