At Forsyth Barnes, we believe that supporting families isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s essential for a healthy, thriving workplace. While nearly half of the recruitment sector still doesn’t offer enhanced family support, we’re proud to lead by example with our industry-leading parental leave package. 💜 Primary caregivers receive six months' full pay, giving them the liberty to spend time with their family free from financial concern. 💜 Secondary caregivers receive two weeks of paid leave, enabling them to play an active role during those vital early days. 💜 When it is time to return to work, we also provide flexible arrangements to help parents balance family life and work commitments. We know that when parents feel supported and valued, everyone benefits, both at home and at work. Interested in hearing more about benefits on offer at FB?

Our recent poll asked whether professionals would consider relocating for the right opportunity, and the results highlight a fascinating shift in mindset. What we’re seeing across the market is clear: 🌍 Geography is no longer the limiting factor it once was. 💼 Businesses are expanding their search globally to secure the expertise they need. 📦 Relocation support and flexible working models are becoming strategic tools in talent attraction. For employers, this signals the importance of thinking beyond borders to access the best people. For professionals, it’s a reminder that the most exciting opportunities may not always be on your doorstep. In an increasingly interconnected market, mobility, whether physical or virtual, is becoming a key driver of career progression and business growth.

When your brand stands out and looks dynamic, feels relevant and showcases your ambition…you’ll attract top talent. That’s why we used our dual-branded campaigns to put your business front and centre. We help you build visibility, credibility and reach the right talent - including the 70% of the workforce who are passive candidates, not actively looking. It’s how IRONMAN, ATP Tour, Real Madrid, Renault F1, The Inkey List, and Notts County FC have secured top-tier hires, all the while amplifying their employer brand. The biggest mistake most agencies make is gatekeeping opportunities for their own benefit. We don’t. Visibility drives results - for talent acquisition and brand reputation alike.
