Imagine spotting a gap in your industry and thinking, “I can fix that.” That’s exactly what I did when I launched HartleyCo in 2019.After six years at a leading recruitment firm, I saw a chance to make the process simpler and more human. Fuelled by my obsession with “making things easy,” I set out to create something different: HartleyCo, where connecting the greatest talent with the greatest businesses is our craft.We’re a boutique agency with a clear focus - placing exceptional professionals into permanent and contract opportunities across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, and London. Our secret? Being genuinely real and reliable. Our clients, from the UK to the USA and Germany, appreciate our straightforward, non-salesy approach and the best-in-class results we deliver.Our journey has been nothing short of a wild ride. Living out new experiences as a business sparking new ideas, a beautiful office that’s more than just a workspace, and a full-company trip to Paris that will be one to remember forever. We celebrate wins and hard work, but our eyes are always on the prize: execution for our clients.HartleyCo is built on two simple, but powerful principles: matching great talent with the greatest businesses and having fun while doing it. We’re not just about growth for the sake of it; we’re on a mission to become a 50-person team, enabling our clients to scale and our staff to exceed their career goals. It’s not about vanity; it’s about creating real impact.I’m a big believer in self-improvement and pushing boundaries. Whether I’m running a marathon, training with our people, or coaching my daughters playing tennis at an elite level, I’m all about striving for excellence and this is reflected in our approach.If you’re ready for a recruitment experience that’s effective, enjoyable, and driven by a dedicated team, let’s chat!
