Commercial Recruitment Expertise
People first recruitment, how it used to be.
Commercial recruitment is our bread and butter.
But, it is a large sector. So, what does commercial recruitment mean? At a basic level, it’s the hiring of professionals within any commercial or office setting. You’ll find that this will mean a recruiter will simply delve into their magic hat and pull out whatever candidate slightly matches the spec, and then just keep sending what they find.
We know that the best recruitment doesn’t happen by magic. There is no top hat to pull candidates from. No pink unicorn to match every requirement. Or illusion to cast to gloss over the challenges of hiring. Commercial recruitment takes time, energy and patience to be successful. It doesn’t finish once the cv is through the door, or the interview is held. It’s an ongoing partnership between organisations to continually promote growth and support.
Marketing
Much like recruitment, marketing is ever-changing. With digital innovation impacting the way that this role has traditionally worked, such as AI and the increased use of technology. Now, hiring in the industry requires expertise that was not seen 10 years ago.
Now, the key when hiring marketers is to speak their language and share their passions.
This is where our marketing recruitment team comes in. Many of our team have a shared interest in marketing, either working in the roles, studying the industry or even continuing their own marketing endeavours with their personal brands. On top of this, our own marketing team are always on hand to help us understand what is going on in the industry. Subsequently, we transfer this knowledge into recruitment. To help us identify talent that will keep up with the changes whilst still maintaining their creative flair.

Sales
Sales recruitment is an interesting entity. In addition to the normal hiring challenges that organisations face, like being in a candidate sparse market and the need for flexible working. Recruiting for these roles has challenges like struggling to verify past track records and finding candidates that can cover wide patches. To help businesses with this, we take over the vetting and referencing processes. With our advanced screening and referencing processes, we take the time to ensure that the next sales hire will be the best fit.
Our sales recruitment team work with salespeople in a range of backgrounds, including
- B2B or B2C,
- Field Sales,
- Internal and External roles,
- account management and senior positions.
As a result, we can support you with permanent recruitment for a variety of sales functions. However, the best people are often at work. So, on top of traditional headhunting tactics, we have no hesitation in trying new outreach methods to find talent.
One method that many of our clients are having success with is enriching their employer branding. We help them to improve this by suggesting (or even creating) market content and strategies. All of these help to tackle some of the negative stigmas that can be associated with heavy sales positions. Additionally, this helps us to find candidates that better align with your values.
Finance
For every 100 sales vacancies, 5 are unfilled. The challenges of finance recruitment is only look to worsen with the continuing digitalisation, skills shortfall and change in workplace expectations. As a result, recruiting in this industry is taking more time and effort than ever before. However, as a finance recruitment agency, we help by:
- Taking the strain of searching off hiring managers' hands. We’ll manage the candidate attraction and headhunting procedures to find what talent is out there.
- Working with education providers to talk about the opportunities they are in this industry.
- Being a consultancy business. So, we will look at your current finance recruitment processes to see what is causing friction and offer solutions to fix this.
So, as a finance recruitment agency, we support a range of roles from entry to director-level positions for organisations throughout the UK. For example, we can support the hiring for Accountants, Finance Directors, Credit Controllers, Purchase Ledgers or Finance Managers. Learn more about the services we provided by clicking below.
Customer Service
We’ve supported customer service recruitment for a range of businesses. From specialist merchants to retailers and even smaller SMEs. Like many sectors, this sector is facing significant recruitment challenges off the back of external factors. As a result, organisations are scrambling to hire roles up and down the ladder to help customers.
For us, customer service recruitment encompasses a range of roles. So, as part of this, we also include any contact centre roles in this area. As the skillset is completely transferable and the true differentiation comes in at those senior-level positions, like Dialler Managers and Contact Centre Operations managers. However, our team understand the nuances of these roles, so can headhunt appropriate talent to keep operations running smoothly. One of the key ways that we do this is with the use of social media and proactively engaging with the passive talent on the market.
Office Recruitment
At the centre point of company culture, customer interaction and business operation. No company can run without a great office team. Our team are on hand to help recruit for your more traditional office roles, like your administrators, office managers and receptionists. Supporting permanent full-time, part-time and fixed-term-contract positions.
However, when recruiting for these roles, finding candidates that align with the company culture and values is integral to success. But, how can we recruit for a culture fit? Well, you can put the tarot cards away as they won’t help. The first step is to come and see your office and experiences your workplace culture for ourselves. We’ll make notes and observations on the team dynamics, their unique and shared values and even personality. With this, we’ll work questions into our vetting procedures that will assess a potential new hire's alignment with your existing team.
Testimonials
With Employal these candidates and employers found a recruitment service that put them first. Here’s how it went:
Jennifer has recently filled a role we spent 2 months trying to recruit for. Jennifer was a breath of fresh air who made recruitment look effortless. I was really impressed hearing how she took the time during the evenings and weekends to speak to candidates. Without doubt Jennifer goes the extra mile and I will continue to use her for future recruitment.

Jen took the time to really understand our business. She made the 4 hours round trip to meet with us, advising this was important when bringing the role / business to life for potential candidates. I was extremely impressed with the shortlist presented to me. Truthfully, I tend to dread recruitment. But Jen made it simple, booking candidates in for ease so all I did was show up on the day. I highly recommend Jen as a recruitment partner to any business.
Robert
I met Jen in 2018 when she placed me in a sales role. Previously to meeting her I had a negative experience dealing with recruiters, but was pleasantly surprised by her willingness to understand what I was looking for. She really took the time to not only do what is right for her client but what I needed as a candidate.
I have since been promoted and when I was hiring, I didn’t hesitate to reach out to Jen. Once again, the process was straightforward. Jen presented 4 strong candidates and the role was filled within a week. If you are looking for a role or a recruiter who put your needs first, I recommend Jen Keane.
