F1rst Commercial Recruitment recognised in Financial Times rankings

Stockport-based F1rst Commercial Recruitment has been named among the top UK recruiters for 2024 by the Financial Times.

The Financial Times’ Leading UK Recruiters for 2024 ranking is based on over 10,000 independently collected reviews of UK recruitment agencies, evaluated by research partner Statistica.

Stockport-based boutique agency, F1rst Commercial Recruitment is one of just 154 UK firms (out of over 30,000 operating nationwide) to have been recognised in the Leading UK Recruiters for 2024 ranking. The agency was recognised for its work with businesses in three sectors: Business & Professional Service, Engineering & Industry, and Financial Services.

Sharon Seville (pictured), founder and director of F1rst Commercial Recruitment and who remains a hands-on recruitment consultant in the business, said of the recognition for the firm:

“I couldn’t be happier or prouder to have received recognition as one of the country’s Leading Recruiters. It’s a privilege to help people build their careers, and companies build their business. Doing it right is paramount for them, and for us. My business model is simple: to bring my own expertise and experience to every vacancy we support. That’s why we’ve got a 100% success rate for filling jobs.”

The Financial Times’ Leading UK Recruiters for 2024 listed is based on survey data which gathered the combined opinions of hiring managers, candidates, and other recruitment professionals and is the latest category in the newspaper’s long-running lists. Data was collected in April and June 2023.

Established in 2009, F1rst Commercial Recruitment primarily recruits for office and business support roles across Northern England, alongside an executive search division, First Executive Recruitment, which handles management and director-level positions across the UK, focusing on the Manufacturing and Engineering sectors.
