Company

Established in 2013, Hiring People was one of the first fixed fee recruitment companies, designed to meet the growing demand for ‘direct recruitment.’ Our intention was to challenge the traditional recruitment agency model and give organisations an advantage in the competitive employment space. By recruiting in-house, companies are less reliant on working with agencies and therefore significantly reduce their recruitment spend.

Hiring People empower SMEs and enable them to compete with larger companies by giving organisations an advantage in the competitive employment space.

Our clients benefit by advertising across multiple job boards and use technology to help them drive their recruitment process. By providing companies with this service, our clients have millions of candidates at their fingertips; they can, therefore, recruit quickly, at a low cost and benefit from building their own database.
