Knowledge, insight and experience.

Recruit North is an independently owned recruitment agency with roots going back to 1983.

Our business provides niche specialist recruitment services in Cumbria, Lancashire and throughout the North West and North East of England.

We recruit across a number of key industry sectors and job roles, including:

In fact, there are very few job sectors for which we haven’t recruited! Whatever role you are hiring, or looking for, the chances are – we can help.

Recruitment is ultimately about people and, with that in mind, we champion personal service which is supported, not replaced, by the latest state of the art recruitment technology.

Experience has taught us that the best, and most effective, methods of recruitment combine both traditional and modern.

We match people with people, not CVs with job specs.

Call us old fashioned but we like to get to know our candidates and our clients so don’t be surprised when we pick up the telephone to speak to you or ask to meet you face-to-face.

It is only by getting to know you that we can ensure the job or candidate is exactly the right one for you.

Every person and employer is unique and, at Recruit North, we are passionate about providing a high-quality and personal recruitment experience to employers and job seekers alike.

Really helpful jobs agency

I can’t stress enough how helpful this agency is. They prepared me for my interview with loads of info about the employer and the job, gave me loads of advice (I was nervous about the interview), gave me feedback after the interview (which included telling me I’d got the job), helped me with my resignation letter and if that wasn’t enough already, sent me a personalised good luck in your new job card! The best way to find a new job is via Recruit North. Thank you, especially to Paul.

Nothing but praise!

I would like to praise Paul for his professionalism, integrity and how he fully understands the requirements of the organisation and their ethos, in finding appropriate matches.

When I applied I was invited for a telephone interview with Recruit agency.

Thank you, I appreciate all your help.
