Since our humble beginnings in 1997 as an independently owned, local industrial staffing agency in North Wales, it's always been our aspiration to grow into a business that provides three things: a positive employment journey for our candidates; meaningful training for our people; and real solutions for our customers.
Today, we are an award-winning recruitment business with national presence, and have expanded our offering to cover technical, professional and healthcare sectors, all of which are under the ‘gap personnel group’ brand.
In 2017 we were acquired by BeNEXT Group Inc – a global HR and staffing provider with £500 million+ revenues. This has given us the platform to build a contemporary recruitment journey that gets our candidates and clients where they want to be. We are on an exciting journey towards the forefront of the recruitment market, across both the UK and Europe.
To become the first choice recruitment partner by developing a brand that our customers, candidates, and employees are proud to be associated with.
Through real people, providing real solutions, our customers, candidates and employees experience a true recruitment partnership. As a national provider with local presence, we are proud to deliver ethical and flexible employment solutions, accredited training, and people development.
The best interests of all of our people are at the heart of all we do; we’re not “yes” people, we want to offer our expertise, even if it means a difficult conversation.
We uphold a culture of responsibility, defining and agreeing expectations, and being held accountable against them.
We are not faceless; we’re people who work on a national basis across a range of sectors, all towards a common goal. Let’s have real conversations about needs and how we can help.
We offer peace of mind through ethical and compliant practices, for clients, candidates, and employees.
We’re all about the people. Our people are the ones who will find your next job; who will take the time to understand your business; who will go to exceptional lengths to make sure that you get the best of what we have to offer. Our people work in a culture that promotes real talk. That promotes straightforward interactions and honest answers. Our drive comes from knowing that we can make a difference in what can be a challenging market for those looking for work and those looking for a partner who will help their business thrive.
