Forget the norm
Here at Mash’d we put our heart and soul into the service we offer. Other recruiters take a short brief, posting jobs on sites in the hope of spotting a CV that loosely fits that brief. We’re different.
The days of simply competing on job boards against thousands of other roles and employers are dead. The next battle ground for netting talent is social media. A total minefield, right? Wrong. At Mash’d we can tap into passive candidate markets and offer a truly personal service, spotting genuine talent and the best opportunities. We understand things from both the candidate’s and client’s perspective. We’re all ex-industry from the premium branded sector, including GMs, Head Chefs and Area Managers. After being on the receiving end of some pretty poor service from agents over the years ourselves, we believe wholeheartedly there is a better way. We don’t just look at CVs; we look at the whole person.
In short, if we put a candidate forward to you, it’s because we’d hire them ourselves.

What our clients say
We have been using Steve and his teams for the last 14 years and in that time they have consistently been our no1 performing supplier of Managers of all levels to our business. They do not waste time with unsuitable candidates and have regularly achieved a 1 in 2 placement ratio saving us time and effort. They have proven themselves a significant partner for our business and come very highly recommended.
Gemma BouldingSteve and his team have some fantastic contacts across the sector that they have grown over many years and also work across social media to network candidates you just cannot find through advertising. Highly recommended for a professional but personal service.
