Core Recruitment
COREcruitment is an International recruitment agency specialising in all aspects of hospitality, contract catering, leisure, property, facilities management, FMCG, food production and other service markets. Our Executive Search division has developed and expanded over our 15 years recruiting within the industry.

We now cover senior level placements across all sectors within the agency, both at a national and global level as well as supporting relocation searches. Our success has been gained through focusing on sectors we have established networks and vast knowledge in, rather than taking a generalist approach.
Services
Finding a job can be a daunting prospect - especially if you are looking to change careers or sectors. At COREcruitment we aim to make this as easy for candidates as possible - if you are an 'active' or 'passive' job seeker. We have compiled together the information in this section from our years of industry experience in recruiting for a wide spectrum of international clients.
Our Chef desk has been developed over the last 14 years to a team of 5 specialists with the sole aim of finding you the right job!. All our Chef consultants have direct industry experience, so we can fully understand the pressures associated with the kitchen and will take the time to understand your needs, desires and wishes in a new role.
We have significant experience in bringing together high-calibre candidates and local/global consumer & FMCG organisations for individual assignments and as part of a long term account.

We have a large database of candidates who are either actively looking for their next role, or simply keeping an eye open for the next exciting opportunity and we are constantly speaking with candidates, not only from similar businesses to yours, but also to those who have relative experience from other sectors of the FMCG sales industry and who have transferable skills.
At COREcruitment, we tackle all things related to hotels, private residences and accommodation - from front of house to senior management positions. The term "hotels, private residences and accommodation" is carried quite loosely for us as some of our key accounts also include service apartments, luxury residentials, hostels, as well as student accommodation units.
COREcruitment specialise in the Food Retail sector, with a strong on focus on QSR restaurants, retail and grab & go and supermarkets. We cover the UK Nationwide working with established and growing clients. This is an exciting time for the desk as our client base grows so does the level of opportunity!

I never see like this company 100 resumes no answers from the recruiters is that offer job real or just making your website running I worked with to many companies they answer and they talk about all the details.i waste my time to send my resume with you guys.

It's been such a pleasure working with COREcruitment! One of their recruiters (superstar Hayley) called me up within a few days of submitting my CV. After a quick chat about what I was looking for in my next role, Hayley matched me to some excellent vacancies which were perfect for me! I was lucky enough to get an interview & was offered the job within 2 weeks! Hayley checked in on me every step of the way, she always ensured that I was well prepared for interviews & happy with the role suggested! This is a team of professionals that really care about their candidates. Highly recommended!!

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value
Lucia Raru embodies all the negative traits of recruitment e.g. pushy, confrontational, dismissive and frankly aggressive. Recruitment is changing but it seems like Core is stuck in the bad days. Avoid and go elsewhere.

Never respond to calls or emails, despite a few applications for jobs where I closely fit the description... Not even an acknowledgement to say why they wouldn't put me through.
All this over a two month period. This isn't a one off, it's modus operandi.
The agent I was trying to contact looked at my LinkedIn profile but still didn't even reply.

A recruitment company that never replays to emails and phone calls. However, posts several vacancies daily on platforms like linkd and indeed. Please don’t bother to write back, we are sorry we are not up to your standards.

Emailed the recruiter serveral times and didn't bother to come back. Tried with another one and it was the same story. This is the worst recruitment company I've ever found.
Update: Fun enough that you get in touch now after a year I've been trying to reach out to you. A bit weird but ok.

Not quite pleased with the agency I must say. You email them multiple times and no reply. You call them up and they are always on the other line. You request to be called back and they never do. I guess they are just busy during Corona times. Got the agency recommended by my network. Well i guess i am not for them.
Good luck

Wow amazing. You knocked me off my feet! I’m humbled and grateful. I invested $500 with Adam Kennedy to see what trading online was like. A week later i withdrew a profit of $5,500 and then I really saw how much you can earn from the markets. I now invested $1000 and gain $13,543 a week, God bless him for me, he is trust worthy and i recommend him to everyone or anyone that want financial freedom.

I was lucky and pleased to be contacted by Sara Pearson for a job opportunity. Sara was always ready throughout the process supporting me by demonstrating not only professional skills but above all human qualities. I certainly recommend Sara to anyone who needs or seeks new ambitions in professional life.

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Sara Pearson as a professional seeking a new career opportunity. I can say, without hesitation, that she has exceeded my expectations in all the situations that we have worked together. She doesn’t view the hiring process as being a sporting event; instead, she really believes in you,… supports,communicates, encourages, motivates and really looking for a good match should be a “win-win” proposition. Sara sees the bigger picture and as an actuary, that trait is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Sara and COREcruitment

Rude, unprofessional and hurtful. STAY AWAY FROM THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!
I was called today by one of their agents. Not only were they not fully engaged in the conversation; they were typing away, but he was extremely dismissive, argumentative and over all extremely rude! I was so put off by his attitude that I told him so! He couldnt care less!
How can you run a business if you treat people that way!
LEAVE THESE AGENTS ALONE OR DO NOT USE THEM! They only care about money and not about finding you a suitable job!!

Again another agency review. I've been through so many agencies in London, that has given me a boost in my review numbers.

COREcruitment specialises in hospitality and the service industry, however they do sometimes get roles outside of that area. And that is how I come to them.

They are professional! And unlike most agencies in London, you will not get harassed every 10 minutes! And it was safe to give them my references! Some agency harass my references which is why I never give out reference phone numbers. I didn't have this problem with them.

They do have a large list of roles
