The Charterhouse story.

“Yet again, you’ve made this feel easy”, said a customer in a recent email. That’s why you use a recruitment agency, isn’t it? To make recruitment a little easier, faster, and more successful.

Not every recruitment agency does that. In fact, Charterhouse was founded because, as professional recruiters, it saddened us to see “No recruitment agencies” appearing more frequently at the bottom of job adverts. We get it. Businesses are tired of feeling ‘sold-to’ and sick of paying recruitment fees for poor-fit candidates. But we’re here to change this industry for the better and raise its reputation. And we’re doing it by listening first and talking second, prioritising relationships over revenue, and providing standout service to every client and every candidate.

Doing recruitment differently.

Here, we don’t lure you in with exciting gimmicks or bells and whistles, promise you the world and let you down later.

Instead, we focus on what we know works, and put clients and candidates first.

Our specialist recruiters focus on a single industry vertical. Following our proven 5-star process and focusing on delivering value, we spend time getting to know what makes every client and candidate tick. We only put candidates forward if they’re a great match for the role. We do what we say we will. And, while we’ll always give you our professional advice, we put you in the driving seat when it comes to making decisions.

It’s our way of helping people and businesses of Chester and York shape a better future.
