A proven model, now in Yorkshire
For more than eleven years, Theo James Recruitment has helped manufacturing and engineering businesses find the people who move them forward. We have supported over 500 companies to build stronger teams, solve difficult hiring challenges and reach their growth potential.
That experience was built predominantly across the North East. Today, it is being brought to Yorkshire through our York office - giving local employers access to the same specialist process, network and service level that has earned the trust of businesses across the North.
Recruitment, done differently
The old transactional model is not enough when the right hire affects production, leadership, culture and growth.
We take the time to understand the people, pressures and ambitions behind every brief. That means better conversations, stronger shortlists and partnerships that become more valuable over time.
