How we work

Three things we will not compromise on

Most agencies scale on volume. We scale on judgement. Here is what stays fixed regardless of how busy we are.

One consultant

Every client gets a single named recruiter who runs the brief end to end. No account-manager handoffs to a delivery team.

Tight shortlists

Three to five strong candidates per role, fully briefed and reference-checked. We do not bury you in CVs to look productive.

Long-term fit

We screen for retention as hard as for skills. A hire who quits at six months is a problem we own with you.

Our sectors

Ten UK sectors. One sharp approach.

From entry-level admin to senior hires, here are the sectors Apex Recruitment runs permanent searches across.

Office and Admin

Receptionists, administrators, EAs, office managers and ops coordinators.

Finance and Accountancy

Bookkeepers, AP/AR, qualified accountants, FBPs, FCs and financial controllers.

Commercial and Sales

Marketing

Content marketers, paid-media, brand managers, CRM specialists and marketing heads.

HR

Three to five strong matches with availability and motivation notes.

You select, we coordinate. Follow-up at week one, month one and month three.

Where Apex Recruitment fits

Most UK employers do not need another agency racing to send the most CVs. They need one careful firm that listens, shortlists tightly, and respects how a hiring decision actually gets made internally.

Across our ten sectors, the search runs the same way. Whether you are hiring a permanent finance manager or a permanent head of operations, you get one named consultant, a vetted shortlist of three to five candidates, and follow-up that goes past the start date.

We focus on permanent direct-hire roles because that is where our work compounds. Stop-gap shift cover is a different sport entirely.
