Vision & Values
Having successfully provided professional recruitment services to a range of SME and blue-chip clients, we have gained a thorough understanding of when a recruitment process works well, with all parties mutually benefiting, and where it doesn’t work so well.
We formed Birchlake because we firmly believe that we can offer a service to our clients and candidates that they will find very hard to match. At Birchlake, we possess expert knowledge of recruiting within the financial services markets, throughout the UK.
We act as a trusted partner with a select range of businesses that we know and trust, where we share the same cultural values. We have the autonomy and capacity to offer a genuine personalised service, equally representing our clients and candidates.
