Who we are

Founded in 1997, First Base Employment was born with one key objective in mind – to match the market’s most talented candidates with the market’s best employers. This is something we are extremely passionate about and has been the catalyst for the evolution of our business.

At First Base Employment, we take a modern approach to recruitment, as we recognise that the world of recruitment is constantly evolving and our clients’ and candidates’ needs are forever changing, in line with the economic climate we are faced with.

We have built the business around three specialist divisions, which include Commercial, Engineering and Industrial. Our Engineering and Manufacturing division supplies skilled and semi-skilled engineers across an array of industries. Our Industrial division specialises in supplying temporary and permanent labour into logistics and production environments. And finally, our commercial division offers talent solutions across professional, clerical, and administrative disciplines.

With over 25 years of providing tailored recruitment solutions across our three divisions, we have built an unquestionable reputation for our honest, reliable recruitment solutions. If you haven’t yet experienced the First Base service, you can see what our clients and candidates have to say about us from our testimonials.

 

What makes us different?

We believe our size is our strength – small enough to care but large enough to deliver. Our consultants have a real passion and enthusiasm for what we do, as well as a deep understanding of our key sectors and the capacity to swiftly respond and adapt to clients’ needs.

We adopt a partnership approach to all of our clients and candidates, to ensure we fully understand their needs, ensuring we tailor our service to deliver the best possible solutions. We take great pride in what we do, and have a passion for success, which is reflected in everything we do for our clients and candidates alike.
