Quest Recruitment Ltd is an independent recruitment agency specialising in recruitment of both temporary and permanent personnel. At Quest Recruitment we take the art of recruitment, together with the importance of dealing with people’s hopes, aspirations, and ambitions seriously. It’s crazy to think about, but most people spend more time at work than they do with their family. So we think it’s incredibly important to work in an environment that you find stimulating, rewarding and enjoyable. At the same time, we meet with new clients to learn about their company and to precisely establish what their recruitment criteria are. Clients can then be assured that each candidate referred to their company has the skills, character fit, knowledge and ability to carry out their new role to an excellent standard. Whether you are a client or a candidate, we believe our passion for what we do and our consultative approach sets us apart.
