Two things bring Team HG together: The company card... & the chance of a LinkedIn post. 🙃 So the Great Manchester Run? The perfect day for it. Our best (or at least our most fearless) laced up and joined 30,000 others for a sunny 21k through the streets of Manchester. Personal bests were smashed, team spirit was unmatched, and most importantly, over £2,000 was raised for Alzheimer’s Society and St Ann’s Hospice. Proud doesn’t quite cover it. 🧡

About us
What we do At Higher Group, we spend an unusual amount of time talking and thinking about recruitment. We do four things: 1) We help recruitment companies find great people. 2) We act as career partners to recruitment professionals, helping you identify the opportunities that can take you to the next stage of your career. 3) We help aspiring recruiters find the right place to start their career- whether you’re a graduate, salesperson or an ambitious teenager with a point to prove. 4) We help entrepreneurial recruitment professionals start their own recruitment companies What we think Recruitment is Important (but hard) In its most simple form, any company or organisation is just a group of people- trying to achieve something together. As recruiters, we focus all of our efforts on that simple but vital asset- the people. Recruitment is Good (but hard) Despite the tedious recruiter bashing, we know that our industry is a vibrant, exciting and diverse place to work. An industry that gives people the chance to learn important skills, travel the world and get stuck into business in a way other industries just can’t match. Recruitment is Fun (but hard) No offence to accountants. But can you imagine being an accountant! Staring at spreadsheets all day, every day. Recruitment is the people business- we find people, for people. Yes, they can be a nightmare. But they can also be fascinating, hilarious and very, very surprising. It’s like an adventure, but with KPI’s.

WATCH OUR PODCAST HERE: https://lnkd.in/ezkB9tsC As Matthew Sullivan put it: "If you want to hire smart, driven, entrepreneurial people… they’re going to start conspiring to start their own thing.” So… embrace it. From day one, we’ve backed our rebels. We’ve nurtured them into founders, not flight risks. Instead of shackling ambition, we’ve given it agency — and built a business family along the way. 🎙️ Watch Matt break down how embracing entrepreneurial energy is the only way forward on The Recruitment Mentors Podcast Then ask yourself — are you... - building a business? - a cage? - or a platform for people to succeed. 👇 Link in the comments

The UK does not lack talent. There’s a lack of opportunity. When Matthew Sullivan started Higher Group, he was a one-man band. A lunatic at his kitchen table with a dream (how all the best serial killers start). Now? £8M NFI, 60+ employees, and a business built on one key principle: creating opportunity. We don’t just hire recruiters - We back them. 💡 The Insider Model – a system where top recruiters don’t just work for us… they build their own businesses with us. We’ve backed some of the industry's best, helping them launch and scale their own recruitment firms after growing within Higher Group. Matthew broke this all down on The Recruitment Mentors Podcast Thanks, Hishem Azzouz, for offering him the floor… God knows he loves the sound of his own voice. Episode drops in April - so watch this space.
