We are Essential.
We’re a recruitment agency who specialise in both temporary & permanent staffing in the Industrial & Commercial sectors, covering South Yorkshire & the Midlands.
What we do?
Simply, we supply temporary and permanent staff to Industry and Commerce.
From Cleaner to Cad Design Engineer or Order Picker to Operations Manager, our belief is that a good recruiter can take a job description and company culture and match it with a CV and an individual’s personality.
How we do it?
“We do what we say we are going to do, when we say we are going to do it.”
There is nothing worse when a service provider doesn’t deliver. At times the request can be difficult to achieve, this is when honesty and a consultative approach is required, and we aim to do both.
Our culture is to under promise and over deliver.
Will we always get it right? No is the honest answer, that doesn’t mean that we didn’t put every effort in but that we deal with people and this will always mean that human error will be a residing factor. However, we believe that an excellent service is not whether a problem will arise but what is done to prevent them and how they are dealt with when they do occur.
“Treat people as you wish to be treated.” Although this is a cliché phrase we do constantly try our best to be true to the meaning.
People are at the heart of everything we do.

Why did you start this recruitment company?
We saw ethics and morals decline in the recruitment industry, and we wanted to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
Since 2006, we’ve worked to provide our clients with an honest service ran by real, local people.
What makes your approach to recruitment different?
We focus on quality, not volume.
We invest time in understanding each of our client’s businesses, cultures, and growth plants, allowing us to deliver candidates who are both highly qualified and share their vision for the future,
How do you ensure a good match between clients and candidates?
We spend time getting to know our clients and candidates.
For businesses, we speak to our contacts, perform job shadows, spend time on-site and do our own research to build a picture of what it’s like to work there and what the client is looking for. It’s important for us to get a ‘feel’ for the right kind of candidate for their company culture, their values and of course, the role.
For candidates, we screen on the phone before meeting face to face. We ask questions about their past and also their future. We get to know what is important to them. We maintain an ongoing relationship so we can monitor how they are feeling through their new contract.
