Frankly Recruitment was established in 2009 in the midst of the recession. A recruitment agency born with the aim of raising standards within the industry. We insist that all our recruiters are qualified and abide by the REC (Recruitment and Employment Confederation) code of conduct. This ensures that both candidates and clients receive a professional service that gives jobseekers equal importance to hirers in the process. Of course, we are equal opportunity employers and will not discriminate on behalf of our clients under any circumstances.
At the beginning, Frankly Recruitment recruited for any jobs in Swindon. As the years went on we became specialists in the commercial market and not just locally but nationally too. Office jobs are our predominant sector. In 2017 Frankly Professional was separated as an executive recruitment division; this was to recognise the different needs of our clients, and allowing assignments to be worked by day rate contractors as well as by PAYE temporaries.
The success of Frankly Recruitment and Frankly Professional is due to the calibre of our Recruitment Consultants. We have cherry picked the best talent in the South West; those that are passionate not just about their role but the recruitment industry as a whole. Service is at the core of each and every person that works at Frankly and everyone we come into contact with is treated with kindness and respect.
The recruitment industry is continually changing. Frankly Recruitment are forward thinking and quickly embrace changes within the market, legislation and with how we carry out our role. Our website is user friendly and constantly updated. We have a lively social media presence and offer all jobseekers access to our free app so we can reach them wherever they are.
Three of the team left Area Manager and Manager roles to join Frankly Recruitment as they saw our ways of working as the future of the industry. Our ways of working are not rigid but our standards are. The environment is upbeat, supportive and ideas are explored – nothing is set in stone. We may be biased but we believe we have the best recruitment team in the South West!
