As we begin to celebrate 25 years of business, Highams is still just as passionate about providing and maintaining a quality service to our clients.

Our industry, however, is changing rapidly and Highams’ approach has been to refine our offering to our customers – both to our consultants and candidates and to organisations which hire them.

Today Highams employs 30 proud people of which over 30% have been with us for more than 10 years and a further 20% more than 5 years.

Clients

What we offer

We offer IT resource solutions to the insurance, investment management and financial services sectors. In addition, the Highams Interim Practice specialises in the provision of highly experienced Interim Managers to the Insurance Sector.

The "war on talent" is having a major impact on recruitment companies in Europe and globally. Two significant reports on Talent and Recruitment in The Economist (Oct '06) and by Demos and the Recruitment and Employment Conferdation (April '07) have shown how recruitment is changing and how increasingly important specialists such as Highams Recruitment are in the provision of talent to organisations.

We fully expect that changing demographics, new attitudes to career expectations and more dependence from employers on a good personality fit (compared to simply a good skills fit) will place greater emphasis on high-quality, network orientated recruitment methods.

This is my first contract with Highams. Payment is first class -- funds hit my business account five days after I post my invoice. My contact at the agency met me personally part way through the contract to see how it was going and took me out to lunch. Very friendly and professional service. I have no hesitation in recommending this agency to others.
