Gleeson Recruitment Group have not surveyed with Best Companies since March 30, 2023.

Gleeson Recruitment Group is on a mission to make the "world of work a happier place, one candidate at a time."

The Birmingham-based company, which aims to bring "trust, transparency and integrity" to an industry that often gets a bad rap, follows the mantra "work with glee." It sees happiness as an integral part of work, whether that’s finding candidates a happiness-inducing role or in how its employees – a team more than 100-strong – go about their day.

Gleeson Recruitment Group has a culture based on "personal empowerment and autonomy" – one that enables team members to flourish.

Staff can choose their own working hours and when to work from home or the office. And all employees can take control of their futures with personal development plans and mentoring and training opportunities.

At Gleeson Recruitment Group, equality and fairness are ‘baked in’ with everyone receiving above-inflation pay rises, six-monthly pay reviews and rewards that go beyond commission. There’s an annual all-expenses-paid incentive trip – from the ski slopes to Ibiza – celebrating team members who’ve hit KPIs or who shine through their positive and helpful behaviour.

And with the directors’ open-door policy, monthly support check-ins and "stay interviews" where staff can suggest morale-boosting ideas, Gleeson Recruitment Group employees are ensuring it stays a great place to work.
