Skilled Careers is one of the UK’s leading professional Search Recruitment Consultancies, specialising in the placement of candidates in permanent work or contracting & temping jobs with the best employers.

Our highly specialised consultants are regularly trained to ensure they make the right decisions for you. We work in close partnership with all of our clients, so we often have vacancies that you won’t find anywhere else. We offer practical advice based on our long experience in the markets we serve.

Some agencies like to clog email servers and waste paper by sending your CV out to companies that you wouldn’t want to work for. Here at Skilled Careers, we’re very selective about who we’ll show your CV. To us, it’s more than a piece of paper; it’s a personal and vital document that needs to be treated with respect.

We take time to find out what you really want, and we make sure that we only send your CV to companies that best meet your needs, and to a role that has been discussed with you to ensure a “Fit” is there.

So if you’re finding some agencies are wasting your time, talk to an agency that won’t. You don’t show everyone your CV: neither will we.

If you would like to discuss your career in general, obtain up to date remuneration details, or hear about current vacancies, then please contact us.
