As an accountancy firm it is important to understand your client; what makes them tick and what is important to their business or themselves. It is the same when it comes to recruitment.
See what our clients say about their experiences working with us:
We have worked with Austin Rose for many years and in my experience, they are a consultative, considered agency. They do not blanket email candidates to every firm and therefore, you:
a. End up with a candidate who is well matched and is far more likely to stay with your organisation
b. You have a better chance of getting the offer over the line, because time has been taken to consider what boxes are being ticked on both sides
Austin Rose is honest with their advice and if a role needs to be challenged or changed to account for the labour market, this is the feedback you will receive. We consider this agency a preferred supplier to our business, and they are a pleasure to deal with.
Leanne Wilkins, Head of Talent Acquisition and Resourcing, MHA MacIntyre Hudson

Austin Rose, and Scott Lavery, know their clients and they rarely send over a prospective candidate who would not be a suitable employee. This is refreshingly different from so many other recruiters. It is quality over quantity, which is the reason why I have used Scott for over a decade.

Having worked with Austin Rose for years, we can safely say that Scott and his team are our kind of people: highly professional, straightforward and dependable whilst providing a friendly, personalised service. We’ve been pleased to tell our own clients about Austin Rose and would strongly recommend the team as a quality recruitment resource.
