Recruitment Leaders.
The Recruitment Guru partnered with a well-established recruitment firm turning over £75M but facing declining margins and operating losses. Despite strong client relationships, inefficiencies in delivery and a lack of strategic direction were holding them back. We worked closely with their leadership team to rebuild core systems, realign their commercial strategy, and equip consultants with scalable tools and training. Within 18 months, the business grew to £92M turnover, improved gross margins, and achieved record profitability — all while strengthening team culture and client retention.
Unlock the full potential of your business with a partner built for growth. We provide adaptable support that scales with you, driving productivity, profitability, and long-term sustainability.
