To attract and retain the right talent, you need a proven partner that offers pin-point specialist service tailored to both yours and a candidate’s unique requirements. A successful outcome, after all, must suit both. Built over many years, our proven track record in the regions we serve, means we are uniquely positioned to leverage extensive talent networks on your behalf. Having already built strong relationships with the best candidates within our specialisms, we headhunt from an extensive network of highly-skilled passive talent not just those who are currently ‘available’. This quality-over-quantity approach means we consistently find the right fit, saving you time and offering a genuine return on investment.

In a candidate-led market where competition for talent is fierce, we not only help you identify the best candidates, we help you attract them, too. Taking them on a clear, well-designed recruitment journey is a necessary starting point for both parties. Making a good first impression reinforces the credibility of your brand. It’s testimony to our process that candidates who have been through it, often go on to become some of our best clients.

We understand the complex and challenging environments in which you operate, including the perennial pressure to deliver more for less in a shifting regulatory, legislative and target-driven culture. Many of our public sector and not for profit clients are turning to the private sector to secure the agile, commercial, strategic leadership necessary for the kind of organisational evolution that will enable them to thrive not just survive. We give you access to extensive networks across both.

In competitive sectors where sourcing new talent can be challenging, the best option, sometimes, is to develop the talent you already have. Ours is an integrated, systematic approach that offers so much more than pin-point search and selection. Whether it is through assessment and profiling, coaching and mentoring, development and education, on-boarding or succession planning, we work closely with you to secure the talent pipeline to meet your business-growth agenda.

Unlike many recruiters I have come across, Lee was relaxed, friendly and always had time to talk through things. He really listened to what I wanted, and very quickly lined up interviews, which lead me to a job that far exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t have been happier with the way he handled everything. He made life very easy for me!

I first contacted Jordan back in 2013 and he secured me interim work. I found him to be extremely professional, approachable and unlike many other recruiters at the time he truly understood my skills and requirements. He was always willing to help and assist. I now find myself in a permanent managerial role where I am required to carry out recruitment on a regular basis. I therefore had no hesitation in immediately contacting Jordan as I knew I would receive excellent customer service and he would find me the right level of candidate, which of course he has always done.

Lee has been a great help in orchestrating my latest career move. He’s provided appropriate leads and has talked me through each step of the process, ensuring I was well briefed and confident for interview. He has gone out of his way to ensure that all my queries were answered and provided honest advice. I’d highly recommend Lee as a recruitment consultant.

Seymour John were absolutely great, always there to help with anything I needed and gave me great support in the whole process. This really is a people person firm. I found a really great role that I am enjoying enormously and they have continued to support me to this point. If you are in search of a new role then this is a firm that will really get to know you as a candidate and find the role that you are looking for. They go above and beyond which you really come to appreciate.

As a candidate I found that all the team at Seymour John offer a very professional, efficient and personable service. They arranged an interview promptly and remained in contact and gave support throughout my contract. I would have no hesitation in working with them again.

I established a great working relationship with the team from the outset. They maintain the right level of contact and provide clear guidance when required. A very friendly firm who I am extremely pleased to have developed a great working relationship with.

Senior Compliance Manager
I was approached by Darren Richards at Seymour John about a career opportunity, and from the start found his take on things friendly and professional, and not at all pushy like some recruiters. I was kept regularly informed about the application process and what was going on, and Darren was always available to answer any questions that I had. I got the impression that there was a real desire to find the right person for the right job, and not just fill a vacancy, and I was fortunate to benefit from Darren’s wealth of experience in the Risk arena in making a really important career decision.

Phil’s professionalism and integrity sets the bar among recruiters, he really renewed my faith!… I’ll definitely be in touch when I am recruiting myself.
Laura Hooson
ReAssure, FP&A Accountant
Seymour John are a refreshing change from other recruitment agencies. They value their Consultants, treat them as individuals, pay promptly, give guidance on administrative issues quickly and throughout the term of the contract they are in regular contact to discuss the progress of the project. I particularly enjoyed working with Emlyn John with his upbeat humour and regular contact which has meant I have felt fully supported in the assignment. I look forward to working with Seymour John again at sometime in the very near future.

On a personal level I have not come across a recruiter who has worked at relationships with candidates and clients as much as Phil Topper. If I am asked for a referral Phil’s name will without doubt be top of the list.
