Services
I celebrate my "little wins" and so do the other ladies, and we all support each other as one. If you think you can get down with the banter and build your own desk (literally and metaphorically), we're always open to speaking to exceptional recruiters. You'll have to be a self-starter, motivated and driven to succeed.
Our team is made up of consultants with specific market expertise, ensuring each assignment benefits from relevant sector expertise. We operate a flexible approach according to our clients' needs and provide contingency recruitment, executive search, market intelligence and assessment services to suit.
Finding, developing and keeping the right people is fundamental for the ongoing growth and success of any business. Being local makes it easy for us to meet the people we work with, allowing us a deeper insight into the ambitions and personality of our candidates and the preferences and culture of our clients.
Your company and the way you work is unique, as is the way that we partner with all our clients. We like to gather as much information as possible to provide you with a tailored, professional service; this includes meeting you and the team in order to make the best possible match. This meeting will determine the best recruitment solution for your business.
The premium package is a retained solution, or a "retainer"; whereby much like from the moment an Accountant or a Solicitor is instructed, you are paying for a guarantee of the consultants' time. A percentage of the fee is paid up front and then at agreed points along the process.
This is a completely transparent process and our award-winning combination of advanced technology and cutting-edge methodology produces in-depth candidate assessment, streamlining the recruitment process.This in turn reduces costs and commercial down-time and increases new employee retention. This service comes with up to a years' guarantee and a 96% retention rate after a year in post.

I applied to a job role advertised through Contrast recruitment. I had never applied for a job through a recruitment agency before, so I didn’t know what to expect, but I was so pleasantly surprised with how easy and stress free they made whole recruitment process from start to finish. They were friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was kept updated throughout the whole process and Tom was always on hand to answer my questions, tell me more information about the company/job role, and give me top advice before interviews (potential questions, LinkedIn profiles of the interviewers

Contrast is by far and wide the best Recruitment agency I have worked with, and after spending 6 months desperately searching for work after being made redundant due to the pandemic in the middle of my maternity leave, this was truly the only organisation that showed me the level of respect I needed. I applied for a temp position with them in February 2021 and they were positive and proactive straight away. I felt completely at ease when my confidence was extremely low and I was over the moon when I was offered the position. After 4 months, my contract was made permanent and although I was of course

Contrast Recruitment is an amazing company. They have the best team who go above and beyond to work with their clients to connect them with some of the most prolific, respected and experienced companies in their respective industries and spark amazing professional careers into action. They changed my employment direction into med comms and opened up some fantastic opportunities which I would never have thought possible, but that's what they do. They work as a team to help make your dream work 😊

Jordan Contacted me after coming across my CV she was friendly, professional and informative. Jordan put me forward for a position she saw I was a good match for and I thankfully got the job. Contrast emailed registration forms to complete which were straight forward to complete and followed up with regular phone calls at a time to suit. I have spoken with Jordan, Kate and Tom who are all very friendly and professional and they all work excellently together as a team to provide you with the best service. I will most definitely be staying with Contrast for future contracts, highly recommend.

I had spoken to contrast previously when I had recently accepted a new role and advised my contract would be ending in October. Jordan got in touch in September to see what I had planned and mentioned a new role that might be of interest. Jordan gave me a good overview of the role and helped me prepare for both interviews. She kept me up to date throughout the whole process and was always available for any questions. I started my new role this week and even received a congratulations card which was a lovely touch. I have dealt with a few recruitment consultants and Jordan has definitely been the

I was contacted by Jordan to discuss a position she had available and whether I would be interested in having my CV put forward for the role. From the beginning Jordan was fantastic and kept in contact throughout the recruitment process. I was overjoyed to be offered the position of a lifetime that will be an incredible next step in my career. I can’t think Jordan, Kate and the team at Contrast enough for this life changing opportunity. Their belief in me, the recruiting organisation & the interview process was second to none and I felt at ease throughout to be in such professional hands. I would

Tom recently head hunted me via LinkedIn for a new recruitment opportunity. I feel he listened thoroughly to not only my skills and experience but the other things that were of most importance to me if I were to consider moving. He managed the process at every stage keeping both me and the client informed every step of the way. No hidden agendas. Recruitment at its best! The congrats card on my first day was a lovely touch too! I’m really happy where I am it is the perfect fit culture wise and a great career move also
Thanks Tom and team

EXCELLENT - The team at Contrast Recruitment have been excellent throughout my recent employment.
They keep you fully informed, they are supportive and helpful with your interview. They always keep in contact, going the extra mile daily to keep you fully informed.
I loved the fact Jordan called me on the day of the interview to wish me luck.
On starting my role I received a lovely congratulation card, sign by all the staff, these extra touches were really important to me.
Once I started the role, they kept in contact, making sure I was happy and the role was all I thought it would be.

Having never used a recruitment agency before, after using contrast it was the best thing I could have done. After a small amount of time of being unemployed saffron and laura found me my perfect job. The communication and help throughout was fantastic. They were both so lovely and helpful and gave me all the information required to motivate and… drive me forward not only in general but in the interview process as well. I will definitely recommend these to all my friends and family in the future that may need it. Thank you saffron and laura for your fantastic service, along with that added

I was contacted by Laura at Contrast after she found my CV online a few weeks ago. She has been a huge help in securing me a job with a great company that I'm really excited about. Laura made every effort to answer all my questions and make me feel important, and I'm really grateful for her help! :)

Could not recommend more. I went in for help looking for a job. Within a week I'd be offered a job thanks to the lovely staff at contrast. All very friendly. If ever you need help. These are the people to go to!!! The whole experience was very personal and I was made to feel like it was important to find me a job. I would not go with any other recruitment agency. Thanks Jordan for all your help. You were an absolute delight to deal with!
