About Alexander Steele Recruitment

alexandersteele.com

We are a small business born out of big ideas.

One thing that everyone at Alexander Steele has in common is that throughout our careers we have both worked in recruitment but also had agencies work on behalf of us as candidates. It is this experience from two sides of the recruitment process that initiated our thinking into doing things a bit differently.

Our goal was simple. The recruitment industry relies on people and people are unique. So many recruitment agencies treat candidates and clients like cogs in a wheel, we strive to treat each client and each candidate as exactly what they are, individual.

If you are a client of ours, we will get to know everything we can about you and work as an extension of your business. This means that we only send you candidates that we know are not only qualified for the role but who will also add value to and fit right in to the company itself. If you are a candidate coming to us in search of a new role, we will take the time to really understand what it is you want out of your next job and only put you forward for what we know would suit you perfectly.

Our consultants have an incredible success rate and it all comes down to this simple way of thinking so contact us and Ask Alexander to assist you today. We really look forward to hearing from you.
