ABOUT WORKFORCE

From SMEs to PLCs, we support employers of all sizes by providing the people

they need to help their business succeed and grow.

Founded in 2003, Workforce now has 7 recruitment branches, with over 100 staff and is one of the leading recruitment firms in the West Midlands.

Every year we provide thousands of excellent, productive workers to over 700 local businesses – from SMEs to PLCs – covering a wide spectrum of roles from manual handling right up to C-Suite level.

Our teams of Recruiters, Resourcers and Relationship Managers pride themselves on their expert knowledge and understanding of the local job market and their specialist Industry sectors; with many of our staff joining us directly from the sectors they now recruit into.

A trusted partner and employer, in 2016 we were placed within the UK’s top 45 fastest growing, dynamic companies within the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 and ranked number 31 in the UK’s best small employers to work for – also by the Sunday Times.

We are an award-winning recruitment, staffing and Workforce Solutions specialist with branches throughout Central England.


8 local branches. One winning team.

Our focus on delivery means our entire network, not just your local branch, is working for you. We think you’ll find the way our branches work together to support each other’s local employers is a really refreshing change.

Teamwork is at the heart of Workforce. Our local branches work together to find the best candidates, and deploy them

regionally to wherever you need them most.

We are the only agency in the region to open our branches on

Saturdays, when demand requires. It’s all part of doing everything we

can to engage with more candidates.
