We are experts at building careers and teams across the globe for clients ranging from global household names, to innovative disruptor start-ups. Much of our history has been in the IT and telecoms space, where we've constantly evolved to meet the dynamic pace of change. One of the significant changes has been the rise of HR functions managing recruitment. A move we have successfully embraced. In fact, it’s been so successful we've developed a dedicated HR division to recruit HR professionals at all levels. Also, we've added an Engineering offering to work throughout Europe to meet client demand. We are organised around IT niches, an HR division, and an Engineering offering. Our services include Permanent and Contract recruitment across the developed world, Executive Search and Consultancy Services to our partner clients which includes market info, benchmarking of talent, salary and comp surveys, and employer-brand research. Why we are Different As an experienced manager or candidate, you know that the quality of the recruitment service you receive will depend on the consultancy’s network and advice. These factors, consequently, drive the quality and depth of our candidate and client relationships - a kind of virtuous cycle. At Claremont, a spectrum of reinforcing factors have combined to make us superior in the opportunities we can offer and the advice we give. For example, our boutique agency size means our three partners - with over 25 years' experience each - are close to every assignment and client. And, our focus on relationships has resulted in sector-defying staff loyalty in each of our niches Expansion: Diversity with Standards After 15 years of steady expansion, we have embarked on a step-change in growth to meet the increasing demand from our clients. Initially, this began with our move into HR and our Engineering offering in Europe. Within IT, we'll be expanding into the exciting world of smart, connected devices and services and AI.
