JOHN HUNTER, THE recruitment consultancy's chief executive, does not mince his words. “We are about making money,” he says. “We are not here to provide a public service — but we strive to provide great service that we can monetise for all of our benefits.” The 46-strong workforce at this firm, founded in London in 2010 and up 30 places in our list this year, specialises in sectors ranging from accountancy to technology, and appreciates this direct approach. Staff say their managers express appreciation for a job well done (93% positive, ranking second). www.argyllscott.com
