Your dream candidate is just around the corner.

The brainchild of Benjamin James Kershaw, the company was originally founded in 2011. It all began with a strong vision to help bring about change within the UK employment ecosystem. It led to the inception of 123 Recruitment Training & Outsourcing which started in recruitment and has now successfully evolved into a dynamic cluster of businesses.

Continuity is Key

We work with some of the top UK companies and we’re on the Preferred Supplier list for the big groups. We often work directly with in-house departments for major blue chip companies yet we also have many smaller clients that consist of boutique and specialist companies. All of our clients receive the same leve of excellence, care, and integrity.

And while most of our clients are in the UK & Ireland, we have an increasing number that are out there in the big wide world. There is a high demand for UK talent, and we work with a number of companies who want to attract UK skills elsewhere.

We are lucky to have a very low staff turnover, which is rare in this industry. We like to think it’s because we’re nice, honest, straight-forward people wto work with. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and above all, enjoy what we do. That and the bribery, of course.

We understand how difficult it is to find the right people and to retain them. It’s the driving force behind our business. But by working cloesly with out clients to understand their challenges, needs, and objective, we achieve that time and time again.
