About us
Apex Recruitment was set up around a single observation: most UK employers have been burnt by lazy agencies pushing volume. Every choice we make works backwards from that.
Most agencies grow by adding more recruiters and more clients. We grow slower on purpose. We deliberately keep our client list smaller than capacity so every single placement gets the time it needs.
That decision shapes everything else. Longer phone screens. Real reference calls instead of forms. Push-back on briefs that are not realistic. The result is permanent hires that stay, not vanity metrics on a dashboard.
Across the portfolio we focus on permanent placements. We are a poor fit for last-minute shift gaps and a strong fit for organisations adding people who will be there in two years.
You will not be passed between a sales person, an account manager and a delivery recruiter. The person you speak to first is the person you speak to on the day a hire starts.
We work across the UK. The agency is set up to operate remotely first, with on-site visits for searches that genuinely call for them.
