Our Story
Quality, honesty, and finding the perfect fit for our local community.
Where we started
From the dining room table…
It was May 2012 when Lissa decided, after years of working for high street agencies, that it was time to break the mould. Realising the industry needed a change, she took the chance to open her own Recruitment Consultancy.
Working from her dining room table, Lissa’s mission was simple: bring local candidates to local clients with an honest and trustworthy service.
“Traditionally, the recruitment industry had a reputation for being hard and corporate. Our aim was to break down those barriers with a fresh and friendly style. Because we aren’t driven by corporate sales targets, our story is about quality, honesty, and finding the right fit.”
How we evolved
Local heart. Data-driven results.
Fast forward a decade, and through a quirk of fate, you’ll now find our expanded team at Arden Court, on Arden Road, within the Arden Forest Industrial Estate.
While our community roots and friendly approach have never changed, our methods have evolved. We realised that relying on “gut feel” during interviews wasn’t enough to guarantee long-term success for our clients or our candidates.
Today, we combine our local market expertise with McQuaig behavioural profiling. This allows us to look beyond the CV, understand exactly how a candidate prefers to work, and guarantee a perfect cultural fit for your business.
The Office Wellness Team
Meet Champ and Penny
No friendly, non-corporate office would be complete without its very own morale officers. Meet Champ and Penny, the official Arden Personnel office dogs!
The fast-paced world of recruitment can occasionally get a bit stressful, but it’s impossible to stay tense with these two around. Whether they are demanding belly rubs, greeting the team, or just snoring quietly in the corner, they do a brilliant job of keeping us all grounded, calm, and smiling.
From Little Acorns, Mighty Oaks Grow
Because of our deep connection with the Arden Forest, we made a promise: we plant trees each month depending on how many candidates we place. Our goal is to eventually see a thriving forest of “Arden Personnel trees” growing within our local woodland.
