Alert Recruitment was started by recruiters who were tired of agencies that took ten days to return a brief. We built a firm that moves at the pace of a hiring manager who has a real problem to solve.
Alert Recruitment is a UK permanent staffing firm. We work with SMEs, scale-ups and established mid-market businesses across England, Scotland and Wales.
Our consultants have desk-level experience in the sectors they cover. They've recruited the role before, they know the salary band, they know what motivates the kind of candidate the brief calls for. That experience is what compresses time-to-shortlist without compromising fit.
One consultant per client. Direct line, no handoffs.
Honest urgency. Fast on shortlists, slow on compromises. We move quickly because the process is tight, not because we are skipping steps.
Skin in the game. 90-day replacement guarantee on every direct-hire placement. Long-term fit is shared incentive.
From SMEs hiring their first head of finance up to established UK businesses replacing senior leadership. Same recruiter accountability, scaled to fit.
