Who we are

Beyond the services of regular recruitment, we take the time to get to know clients and candidates, making smart connections to help individuals and companies thrive.

Annually we see over 75,000 applications from business and industry, education, healthcare, facilities management to retail, hotels, pubs, bars, restaurants and events companies. We have built a nationwide network, with a focus on London and the Home Counties.

About Our Team

The New Normal: how we’re supporting clients and candidates through COVID

 

Adjusting to the ‘new normal’ with agility and creativity, Admiral Recruitment has proudly supported its clients and candidates through these uncertain times, paving the way as businesses begin to reopen. We are here to help you. 

 

  • We continue to ensure all candidates are fully compliant with DBS and Covid-19 guidelines
  • We are passionate supporters of Kickstart Job scheme for apprentices and young people seeking employment. Throughout the year, Paula and our team have helped clients benefit from the programme and have employed apprentices within Admiral as well. 

 

We are optimistic of the future. 2020 saw us develop new, flexible recruitment models and expand into new markets, including the launch of luxury retail, beauty and security divisions. Over the last twelve months, the new team has already placed candidates with prestigious and well-known names as Face Gym, Kering Group, Bvlgari and Sarah Chapman.

Partnership

There is no one size fits all. By working together and listening to your needs, we have achieved a market-leading 12-month worker retention rate of 95%. We will work with you to develop a bespoke, flexible people structure and recruitment model that will withstand the current economic and sector pressures.

Compassion

Recruitment can be a stressful experience in normal times. With all the uncertainty in the current market and unprecedented changes in hospitality employment, we have designed our process to reflect our values and treat people with kindness and compassion.

Expertise

As the pace of regulatory and market changes continues to increase, keeping updated on these changes becomes a more challenging task for talent and people managers. Our group of consultants is here to help you navigate them and craft bespoke solutions in these uncertain times.
